Tips on choosing a handyman
It can be quite tricky to decide on a handyman, he has to be trustworthy, qualified and most of all you must feel comfortable around him so we have put together a simple list of what to look out for when choosing the right person for the job.
- Do you feel comfortable on your first meeting?
- Is he pro-active, trying to find alternative ways to solve the problem?
- Can he get materials at discount rates?
- Check he or she is qualified for the job you need done.
- Get a written contract before any work gets done.
- Check he or she is insured in case something goes wrong.
- Only pay half of the total fee up front and the rest upon successful completion of the job.
Hopefully these pointers will help you choose the right man for the job.
