Finding a good Handyman is kin to finding a good
mechanic. Many things can go wrong with your car, same
as with your house. A good Handyman can fix plumbing and
electrical, he can build small additions, demo walls,
paint, tile, and caulk. Before you just grab the first
one you see, there are some steps to make sure who you
have is who you want.
Before You Call:
Walk through your home and list the small repairs
needed. Ex, dripping faucet, loose cabinet doors, faulty
light switch, etc.
Get organized before you make the call. Keep a list
of all repairs needed near the phone so you can give the
repair person a good idea of the job size before they
come to your home.
Make a list of other items of concern or ones you
think might get worse.
Decide if you will be able to afford all the repairs
at once or if you want them done in phases. If you want
them in phases, prioritize what you want done first.
When Your Handyman Arrives:
Walk through your home and describe each of the
repairs to the handyman.
Decide on an hourly, or per job rate. Realize that
most firms front load the first hour.
Do not Ask for references and examples of my
jobs you have to check it on my website. Ideas to Consider:
We don't just fix squeaky doors and holes in
the drywall, we are carpenters who can do almost
anything. If you have a project that might be bigger
than a typical Handyman job, ask us, we even can
contract to build your house. See my website for
what we can do.
I can also give some advice on preventative tips for
your home during the cold seasons and also day-to-day
ideas. If you have time, ask him if he has any advice
for you as a homeowner.
