You are under no obligation to meet with or hire the contractor and you do not owe Wismer Contractor Referrals LLC anything for the referral. Once you meet with a contractor, you are still under no obligation. If you are dissatisfied for any reason, we will be happy to ask another contractor in our network to contact you.

a. We are locally owned and operated and long time residents of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We have a long history and rich tradition of construction professionalism in the custom home building trade, the building inspection field, and in architecture. We know the area. We live here, and understand homeowners’ needs in this area. Other referral services are out of state and computer based.

b. We know most of the contractors on a personal level and work with them regularly. Many have become friends of ours. No other service, big or small, knows their contractors like we do.

d. We are free! We don’t charge you anything - ever.

e. We have the toughest pre-screening standards. We meet with contractors face-to-face for an interview. No other referral service does that.

f. We don’t allow contractors to pay to be included in our network, unlike other referral services. Only those professionals meeting our high standards are allowed onto our network.
