About

I am Richard Pasquier, and this is a one-person company on purpose.

I have spent my working life around the outside of houses — roofing, siding, gutters, windows and doors. Long enough to know which products hold up in an Ohio winter, which crews do careful work, and how often a homeowner gets talked into something they did not need.

Independence Home Services is what I built to do it differently: look at the whole house, tell the truth about it, and only then talk about work.

What “independent” actually means

It is the same distinction the insurance world figured out a long time ago.

A captive insurance agent works for one company. They are honest people, but they have one shelf of products, so that is the shelf you get shown. An independent agent starts with your situation and then goes looking for the right fit across the whole market.

Contracting works the same way and nobody says so out loud. The roofing company sells roofs. The window company finds window problems. The bath remodeler has a bath-shaped answer to every question. None of that makes them crooks — it makes them captive.

I sit on your side of the table instead. I have no quota to hit with any manufacturer and no crew sitting idle that I need to keep busy. When the right answer is “that roof has eight good years left, spend the money on the bathroom,” I can just say it.

What you can hold me to

I will tell you when to do nothing

Plenty of walkthroughs end with a maintenance list and no project. That is a good outcome, not a failed sales call.

One person, start to finish

You will not be handed from a salesman to a project manager to a crew lead. You talk to me the whole way through.

Written scope, written price

Before anything starts you will have it on paper, in plain language, including what is not included.

Your house, your pace

No same-day-only pricing and no urgency I manufactured. If you want to think about it for a season, think about it.
