Posted by Jillqer White on February 13th, 2019

Search at the Right Place

If you can’t find a handyman, you’re probably not looking at the right place. A telephone directory is the worst place to go to. You can’t hire a professional just because they published a huge ad. So then what place should you visit to hire a good handyman? Here’s a list of some of the right places to search for a handyman.

  • Yelp: Here you will not only find contractors and professional handymen to do your job, but they will be properly reviewed and rated by those who have availed their services. That’s where you should begin your search from.
  • Community Bulletin/Message boards: For those who live in a community building or a society, keep checking at the message board. There you can either find a handyman or you will meet someone that could arrange one for you.

Enlist the Potential Candidates

The reviews and ratings you saw about professional handymen online should help you shortlist some candidates. Based on those reviews, you should make a proper list of all the potential handymen. You can also list them depending on their ratings as well as their professional charges. Enlisting the candidates would take you a step closer to the hiring of the best handyman.  

Interview before Assigning the Job

The professional will be dealing with some of the most precious and valuable stuff in your home. You shouldn’t risk hiring someone who is underqualified or inexperienced to do the job. From the list of contractors, you made from reviews at the Yelp, consult and interview each and every candidate. Make sure your question portray what you need to do.

Get Estimate and Make Proper Planning

This is the last step where you finally employ a handyman. Have a final look at your budget and decide which of the candidates is willing to lend their services within your financial restraints. Also, you should make a proper plan of action at this phase so that you know where, when, and how to start the work and how long the project might take.
