Consumer Spending Behavior Favors Launch of New Cityblock Home Service in Arizona

(PRWEB) July 30, 2007 -- Homeowners in the Phoenix Metropolitan area spend more on home maintenance than they do on personal care products and beauty treatments. According to a U.S. Census report on consumer spending habits, the average homeowner in Phoenix spends $984 a year on household operations. Included in these expenditures are bills for repairs done by contractors, handymen, or for the materials a homeowner buys for a 'do it yourself' project'. These home maintenance expenditures are almost 48% higher than the $666 that an average Phoenix area homeowner spends on personal care products, cosmetics, and trips to the barber and salon. As a result, companies like Cityblock Home are launching new services for handyman and air conditioning repair to meet this consumer demand.

"This spending pattern really reflects the priority that people place on their homes," said Craig Mathews, Marketing Director for Cityblock Home. "We specifically launched Cityblock Home to appeal to time stressed homeowners who want to enjoy their home, but don't have the time to maintain it themselves." Cityblock Home offers air conditioning, heating and handyman services to homeowners throughout the East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Cityblock Home is a service extension of Cityblock, a commercial construction and building services company located in Tempe, Arizona. "We had commercial clients ask us for years about offering our air conditioning and repairmen for residential services," said Doug Deyo, Company President, "we are glad that we can now do that."

Cityblock Home anticipates that the hot Phoenix summers will keep their air conditioning technicians busy all summer, but that other services will keep people using their service year round. Mathews stated, "We have a number of services that people need all the time. In addition to our handyman services, we offer Realtors and home sellers a special service to get their properties ready for sale. We will also be promoting energy awareness, as well as helping people getting their homes ready for seasonal changes."

The Basics Of Buying Ladies Golf Clubs Part 2
Irons Golfers with slower swings should take the following into consideration when choosing their irons. First of all, you should probably have a 6 or 7 iron as your longest iron club. Only carry a 5 or even a 6 iron if you can hit it confidently and consistently. Most people with slow swings cannot accomplish this. Higher number fairway woods and hybrids will replace the long irons. Another consideration is a wide sole that is rounded to prevent from digging more into the ground and slowing the club face even more. For the same reason don?t choose a large iron head design. By all means, do use irons with a deep back cavity and perimeter weighting.
