The Neighbor Effect: Four Ways Group Home Projects Can Save Time, Money, and Stress

Home projects piling up? You’re not alone. Whether it’s roof repairs, a fresh coat of paint, or just yard work, we all know the pain of juggling a to-do list that never seems to end. But what if we told you there’s a way to make your home improvements easier, faster, and—wait for it—cheaper – through group home project buying? Meet the Neighbor Effect: the secret sauce to stress-free home projects that save you time, money, and headaches. With Pigybak, homeowners team up with their neighbors to bundle projects and enjoy group savings, smoother scheduling, and top-tier contractors.

Ready to make your to-do list a ta-da list? Let’s dive in.

What Is the Neighbor Effect?

Imagine you and your neighbors are all tackling similar home projects, like roof repairs, fence installations, or landscaping. Instead of hiring separate contractors, you join forces to hire one pro to knock out all the work at once. The contractor gets a bigger job, meaning they can offer you a better deal. You get savings, better service, and more free time. Welcome to the Neighbor Effect.

It’s like bundling your cable and internet—except you’re bundling paint jobs, yard clean-ups, and roof repairs. This isn’t just smart. It’s Pigybak smart.

Why Doing Home Projects Solo Is Outdated

Here’s why you should stop going it alone and start leaning into neighbor power:

1. Group Buying Power = Lower Costs

Contractors love efficiency. When they can knock out multiple jobs in one neighborhood, they save on travel and setup costs. And when contractors save, you save. Group rates can cut down your costs significantly, and who doesn’t love a good deal?

Picture this: you and three neighbors need new gutters. Individually, you’re looking at standard prices. But together, you create one big project, and boom—group discount. With Pigybak, you’ll even be able to see real-time savings, so you know exactly how much bundling is helping your budget.

2. Less Time, More Done

Home improvement projects often mean endless phone calls, quote comparisons, and scheduling headaches. But when you coordinate with your neighbors, all of that gets streamlined. One contractor, one schedule, one-and-done.

Bonus: Pigybak’s app lets you group chat with your neighbors to organize everything seamlessly. You’ll be sipping lemonade in no time while your projects get tackled all at once.

3. Attract Better Contractors

Good contractors are in demand, and sometimes your single project might not be high on their priority list. But by teaming up with neighbors, you’re giving them a larger job—one that’s too enticing to ignore. Grouping projects makes your neighborhood the place to be, and that means you’ll get better contractors showing up, eager to do their best work.

4. Reduce Stress (and Maybe Meet Your Neighbors)

Let’s be real: home projects are stressful. From finding the right pro to worrying about the timeline, it can feel like a full-time job. The Neighbor Effect takes the pressure off because you’re not in it alone.

On Pigybak, you and your neighbors can easily coordinate, share feedback, and schedule everything without leaving your couch. Bonus? You might actually get to know your neighbors, too (even if it’s just over a group chat).

How Pigybak Makes Group Projects Effortless

Now, you might be thinking: “This sounds great, but how do I get my neighbors on board?” That’s where Pigybak steps in to handle the heavy lifting.

Here’s how it works:

1. Post Your Project on Pigybak Thinking about new siding? Need a driveway makeover? Post your project in Pigybak, and your neighbors can join in. No awkward door knocks or late-night texts required.

3. Get Contractor Bids Pigybak helps you collect bids from highly-rated contractors in your area. Plus, you can read real reviews (not the ones that sound like they were written by a crazy cat lady). Everyone gets to benefit from transparent pricing and high-quality service.
4. Save Money, Time, and Headaches With the Neighbor Effect, contractors offer better deals, and you’ll knock out those home projects faster. Less stress, more progress.

Real-Life Examples of The Neighbor Effect

Still wondering how this all works? Here are some real-world examples of how neighbors can save big:

Roof Repairs

Winter’s coming, and it’s time to fix those leaks. If one neighbor’s roof is in bad shape, chances are others need repairs, too. By grouping together for a roof repair bundle, you’ll cut costs and attract a contractor ready to go all in.

Exterior Painting

A fresh coat of paint is great, but it’s even better when it comes with a discount. By bundling a group painting project, your entire street can get a facelift while saving money. Plus, you’ll enjoy watching the contractor tackle one house after another.

Yard Work

Lawn care, tree trimming, or mulching can get pricey when you’re on your own. By pooling your yard work projects with your neighbors, you’ll get it all done faster, and the contractor saves time, too—meaning they pass those savings right back to you.

More Than Just Cost Savings: Environmental Benefits, Too

We’re all about saving you money, but there’s another perk to the Neighbor Effect: it’s greener. Fewer contractor trips mean fewer emissions, and Pigybak works with local pros to make sure they’re getting more business without unnecessary travel. So, not only are you making your home better, but you’re also making the planet happier.
