We had the good fortune of connecting with Max Kiejdan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Max, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I wanted to start a new business that would make a real difference in people’s lives. It all clicked when I realized that homeowners undertaking renovations or construction projects were left hanging without anyone truly looking out for their best interests. Sure, you could turn to your friends or family for advice on whether that contractor’s quote seemed fair, but if you weren’t in the industry yourself, you’d just never know for sure. I kept hearing horror stories about contractors taking people’s hard-earned money and disappearing without completing the job. It just tore me up inside to see individuals and families left with half-finished homes and empty pockets.

That’s when I recognized my opportunity to step up as their advocate and protector. I wholeheartedly delved into redefining the entire home improvement journey. My goal was to bridge the gap between homeowners and contractors, assuming the role of a trusted intermediary who could bring savings, transparency, and trust to the process. We introduced innovative services never seen before in the industry, such as quote negotiation, contract review, and home project escrow. At OnYourSide, we directly negotiate our clients’ quotes with their chosen contractors, often resulting in substantial cost savings. Additionally, we provide valuable assistance by reviewing our clients’ contracts and offering escrow services for their projects. Through these comprehensive efforts, we act as unwavering advocates and protectors for our clients, alleviating their stress and hassle throughout the entire process.

Starting with our quote negotiation service, we directly negotiate our clients’ quotes with their chosen contractors, often resulting in substantial cost savings.

Getting to where we are today in the business world has been a challenging journey. Introducing a brand new concept to people and making them aware of our services was not easy. Building trust and credibility in an industry where our services were not previously available required perseverance and a lot of hard work. We had to continuously educate potential customers about the benefits of our services and how we could help them save substantial amounts of money.
Overcoming these challenges involved a combination of marketing efforts, networking, and delivering exceptional service to our early customers. Throughout this journey, we have learned valuable lessons. We understand the importance of effectively communicating our value proposition to potential customers, highlighting the benefits and cost savings they can achieve by using our services. We have also realized the significance of building trust and credibility in an industry where trust is often lacking.

What we want the world to know about OnYourSide Home Services is that we are here to help people navigate the complex and often confusing home improvement process. Our goal is to empower homeowners, protect their interests, and ensure they receive fair treatment and pricing. We believe in transparency, honesty, and advocating for our clients.
