The COVID-19 pandemic has halted the national economy. Every industry has been hurt by the novel coronavirus and residential contractors are no exception as states implement social distancing measures to stop the spread. However, some contractors in Arizona are keeping the doors open with a pragmatic approach to finding clients and a small but consistent demand for their services.
Home Developer Wayne Funk, owner of Bellago Homes in Mesa Arizona, said his company saw minimal losses since Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued a shelter at home order on March 30. Funk was initially concerned that the coronavirus would make it hard to find contractors to work on Beallgo’s developments, but that has not happened.
“Obviously this is affecting some buyers, but we have not lost too many sales,” Funk said. “Contractors are still showing up for work and if people are sick they stay home.”
