Handyman Quotes

When you're thinking about hiring a handyman, you could be asking whether your job is too small or too big. But here's a few helpful hints about what to do in this case…
Is your job to small?
There is no such thing as a job too small, but remember the handyman is usually charging by the hour, so the amount charged may seem high for the size of the job. So, always make sure that you have a list os jobs that can be done while you have the handyman there. Some examples of small jobs to make up a minimum charge could be:
- Replace smoke detector batteries
- Put out the garbage
- Change a leaking tap washer
- Repair or install a cupboard lock/latch
Is your job too big?
The important decision for you about the size of the job is the skill and experience that is required. By definition, a handyman will be a generalist and will be good at a lot of things but an expert in nothing. So if your job requires trade skills and you employ a handyman to do the work, you may not get what you expect.
If your job is going to take more than 1 day, always ask the handyman to give you a written scope work that details what is going to be undertaken, how long it will take, what materials and supplies are required and what it will cost.Remember, if it is not in writing, then it is easily disputed.
