FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My father was a Master Electrician and a licensed plumber. He designed and patented much of his own tools (as his father before) simply out of demand. Some of which are still being sold at places like Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, and many other stores. I was mentored by the finest handyman, father, teacher, and friend who ever lived. Needless to say I started swinging a hammer when I was big enough pick one up! I'm a third generation handyman. Its not something that can be taught in school. It's years of hard work, trial and error, and applied knowledge. It's in my blood. It's what we do. I'm proud to carry on the legacy!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
-Get to know them a little first. -Read reviews, communicate with them. -Word of mouth is very important! If you've heard nothing but good things about their service from the people who use them, use them for that service. It's obviously what they do best. Give them the work. They've earned it! -They should listen to your every detail of what you expect for the scope of the project. If he listened, he should be able to answer any questions you have for him. -He should be professional and considerate of your needs. No one should feel uncomfortable in their own home. -If you know more about the project, than they know, find out why?! If they're new to the industry, they should not be charging top dollar. Job knowledge takes years to acquire and when applied saves valuable time. That is worth paying top dollar for. -Make sure they're insured! I've had to clean up too many messes left by an unprofessional "handyman". The homeowner is usually left with the cost so make sure they're insured! -Lets weed out those bad ones and give the work to the dependable, reliable, honest ones that have always been here working to rebuild that bad reputation they've given us. There are still quite a few good ones left out there!
