Welcome to Porch Pro Talk, a weekly hypothetical question sourced from our own pros’ experiences that explores the day to day issues of being a contractor. With this forum, we hope to create a place where pros can communicate with one another and in the end, utilize the opinions they find here to better their own business.

Real simple request this week. We at Porch just want you to finish this statement:

You’re a home professional if…

Some examples we’ve heard over the phone or in person so far:

• “You’d rather walk through a Lowe’s than go grocery shopping.”
• “Buy a plastic tool set for your daughter instead of dolls.”
• “You can’t walk through a home and not pick apart the mistakes.”

Well, what are we missing here? Let us know what defining factor makes you a home pro?
