The term "Handyman" doesn't always inspire feelings of confidence.
Let's first draw a clear distinction between the stereotypical handyman and a professional in the field. If you've had a less-than-pleasant encounter with a handyman, it's likely due to one or more of the following issues:
-
Late arrivals or, worse, not showing up at all.
-
Ignoring details, performing subpar work, or even attempting tasks beyond their expertise.
-
Leaving the space dirtier than before the job started.
-
Quoting one price but charging more later, or requesting money upfront without starting or finishing the job.
-
Unprofessional behavior, such as asking for financial assistance for personal matters.
Get to know your handyman first!
A real handyman, nowadays, has a website, social media sites, and a Google page. Basically a real handyman has platforms that you can see prior complaints or reviews, good and bad. You should be able to look at previous jobs done by your handyman. They should answer the phone when you call, or respond in a timely manor. You can tell a lot about your handyman by the amount of knowledge they present when discussing your individual project. There shouldn't be any question about the job to be preformed in your mind. Whether it be the timeline, the materials, or their ability to do the job right. Your handyman should be able to answer any questions at a moments notice about what all your job entails.
Reliability, Guarantees, and Professional Tools:
Reliability is a hallmark of proficient handymen. They adhere to agreed-upon schedules, deliver on promises, and stand behind their work with guarantees or warranties. Moreover, professional handymen come equipped with the right tools and materials for the job. They use high-quality tools and ensure the work meets industry standards. Unreliable handymen might lack punctuality, fail to complete the job within the agreed timeframe, or use inadequate tools. Lack of guarantees or warranties on their work could also indicate potential unreliability.
