How One Neighbor Club Membership Took the Stress Out of Homeownership


Watch Sam Hay’s Testimonial Here!

When life gets busy, home projects have a way of piling up.

For Sam Hay, that reality hit all at once. He and his wife were preparing for one of life’s biggest transitions—selling a rental property, moving into a new home, and welcoming their first child. Between coordinating contractors, evaluating repairs, and trying not to add more stress to an already hectic season, he knew he needed help.

That’s when Neighbor Club entered the picture.

“I needed a way to collaborate with contractors without overwhelming my pregnant wife—and without overwhelming myself, who’s going to be a parent for the first time.”

More Than Just a List of Contractors

Finding a contractor isn’t hard.

Finding one you can trust? That’s another story.

Instead of spending hours comparing reviews, chasing referrals, or wondering whether the first Google result was simply the company with the biggest advertising budget, Sam had a team ready to connect him with vetted local professionals who had already earned Neighbor Serve’s trust.

One of his first projects was replacing a driveway.

Neighbor Serve connected him with Silver’s, who completely replaced the driveway at his Broad Ripple home. While the finished product exceeded expectations, what stood out most wasn’t just the quality of the work—it was the guidance throughout the process.

“I’m a sales guy, not a concrete master. I didn’t know what to expect, and it was a really strong process from start to finish.”

Since then, Neighbor Serve has helped Sam tackle everything from electrical and plumbing evaluations to flooring during a basement remodel. Each time a new project came up, he knew exactly where to start.

“Neighbor Serve was the first place that I texted or called.”

Helping Family, Too

The benefits didn’t stop with Sam’s own home.

His mother lives in a nearly 100-year-old home in Broad Ripple—a beautiful house, but one that naturally requires regular maintenance and occasional repairs.

Like many adult children, Sam wanted to make sure she had trustworthy professionals helping with her home, even when he couldn’t be there himself.

Neighbor Serve made that possible.

He coordinated her driveway replacement through Neighbor Serve and felt comfortable knowing she was working with professionals he trusted.

“Helping her find people who can help her maintain that is a huge weight off my shoulders.”

Sometimes the greatest value isn’t saving money—it’s having peace of mind.

A Membership That Pays for Itself

One of the questions Sam hears most when he recommends Neighbor Club is simple:

“Is it worth it?”

For him, the answer is easy.

Many Neighbor Club Pros offer exclusive member discounts, whether that’s a percentage off a project or other savings that can quickly outweigh the annual membership fee.

But Sam believes the biggest value goes beyond discounts.

It’s the time saved.

It’s knowing who to call.

It’s avoiding the endless search through online reviews.

It’s having one trusted place to start whenever something around the house needs attention.

As Sam puts it:

“Think about what your time is worth. Being able to have that all centralized in one place—it’s invaluable.”

Built on Local Trust

When friends ask Sam for contractor recommendations, he gives them a choice.

They can search online and hope the top result is the right one…

Or they can work with professionals who have already been vetted by a local company focused on relationships instead of advertising.

“You can either Google this and get someone who paid for the highest search results, or you can get somebody who a local company has already vetted.”

For Sam, supporting Neighbor Serve is also about supporting the local community.

“I always want to help Hoosiers help other Hoosiers,” he says.

And that’s exactly what Neighbor Serve is built to do.
