Pros of Working with a Female Contractor

I’ve had some people ask me recently, “What are the pros of working with a female contractor?”  Why should they choose a female over a male? There are many more PROS than CONS. Here are my thoughts.

-They have a better feel for what the woman homeowner wants.

-The woman homeowner is more comfortable with a woman contractor.

-They bring a different perspective than a man.

-Women are more in tune with design trends. You ask a woman a handbag style and she can probably rattle off a couple of designer names.

-Women have a more nurturing spirit.

-They have more of a desire to meet the needs of the client.

-They are better listeners and more intuitive.

-They are great at multitasking.

-Women are great organizers.

-They have a better eye for the small details.

-They are quicker at relationship building.

-They have better relatability to people.

-Design related decisions are often emotional decisions. A female contractor has a softer

touch in persuading a client against making a mistake.

-They can discuss shoe storage and cosmetics with ease. What guy wants to talk about

keeping his curling iron plugged in inside a drawer? A female can say “This is what I do.”

These ideas are enlightening and encouraging to me as a work with clients and contractors every day. It’s good to hear from an outside party about what you can focus on. Do you agree with these answers? Do you have any to add? Email me at jessica@webbercoleman.com
