What the phone looks like in Columbus
Columbus keeps ordinary hours and a compact service radius, which means the calls you miss are mostly the ones that come in after five. Those are also the ones from people who noticed a problem when they got home.
When it gets busy. The freeze and thaw cycle, which is hard on pipes, and the first cold week when every furnace gets tested at once.
For a handyman business that shows up as a list of small repairs, a door that won't close, mounting a TV, a leaky faucet, arriving at whatever hour the caller noticed the problem. The ones you cannot let sit are rare, but a security issue like a door or window that won't lock, and those are exactly the calls that come in after your desk has gone home. HiThisIs answers them in Columbus the same way it answers the ones at eleven in the morning, takes the address and what is wrong, and texts it to you.
