What to Look for in a Handyman
Before you hire someone, think about these things:
- Experience and Expertise: Have they done this kind of repair before? At Smart Home Repair, we focus on smart home setups and important house fixes like subfloor repair and electrical work.
- Licensing and Insurance: Make sure they're licensed and insured. This protects you if something goes wrong. It's not always needed for small jobs, but it's important for bigger ones. You can check the Georgia Secretary of State's website to see if they have a license (that's a link to another site).
- References and Reviews: See what other people say online and ask for references.
- Clear Communication: Can they explain what's wrong and how they'll fix it? Do they give you a written estimate?
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
Here are some questions to ask:
- "Are you licensed and insured?"
- "Have you done similar projects before?"
- "Can I have some references?"
- "How do you charge?" (For instance, our painting services are usually between $2.50 and $4.00 per sq ft for inside work.)
- "How long will it take?"
