Who Do You Hire?
Handyman contractors services can vary from business to business. Be sure to check out whether you can rely on one contractor to do all your work for you. It’s always a good idea to ask fellow friends and family for recommendations on who the good handyman contractors are.
Triple check the contractor’s workmanship track record. Regarding what jobs you’re outsourcing, get three quotes on each job. That should help you decide who offers the most economical workmanship of a high standard.
Once you’ve found the right handyman, meet in person and show them around letting them know what you need doing around the house. It’s best you have a foolproof plan on hand so you and the contractor know exactly what is required and not urgent to fix as yet.
