Who Doesn' Need Handyman Services From Time To Time?
From sticking doors to patching small holes in walls made by rambunctious children
, the right handyman can smooth over the inevitable rough edges of a lived in home. Every home owner has a "To Do" list of odd jobs and minor repairs that they would love to get around to. With the services of a competent handyman, these maintenance tasks can be easily completed with no headache or lost DIY weekends. Many homeowners are thankful for their handyman because they can enjoy their weekends again. In the meantime, the handyman can replace old light fixtures, install a ceiling fan, or clean out the rain gutters.
At the end of this article, you will find an organized list of typical tasks that are too small to merit the services of a plumber, electrician, or contractor but important enough to call a professional handyman.
Handyman services are also a lifesaver for single mothers who are inexperienced with home repair projects like replacing worn locks or re-caulking the bathtub. Or perhaps the single mother is simply too busy taking care of household essentials to find time for odd jobs and necessary improvements like changing air and water filters, or hanging outdoor Christmas lights. A busy schedule like that of a single working mother makes it nearly impossible to personally attend to any major or even minor home repair tasks. All the while, the "To Do" list gets longer. There is nothing like calling a reliable handyman to come to the house and clear up that "To Do" list, like installing window coverings or shelving to increase storage space. The right handyman with the right experience can even do more intensive work usually reserved for a contractor, like installing cabinets and flooring. A handyman is also a great resource for beautification projects like applying wallpaper or hanging pictures and mirrors.
Additionally the talents of a handyman are essential to any commercial property owner or manager. With a commercial property, whether an apartment building or storefront real estate, handyman services are indispensable. It is impossible for the owner or manager of a commercial property to personally handle the constant flow of seemingly insignificant repair jobs that will arise in the course of property management. Every commercial property needs a handyman to do the odd jobs. These odd jobs come in many shapes and sizes, including but not limited to, painting a vacant unit before new tenants arrive, refinishing damaged cabinetry, patching holes in walls, removing spots from carpeting, changing locks, installing light fixtures, replacing plumbing fixtures, and general carpentry.
A good handyman is essentially a multi-purpose home maintenance wizard that can do any job in the home that is too small for a contractor. Handymen are less expensive and usually less specialized than an electrician or carpenter, but they have experience in all fields of home repair. Most handyman professionals have extensive experience as contractors and do handyman work as a supplemental service to their contracting enterprise. Other handyman professionals are retired laborers that have decades of first hand experience with all manner of home maintenance. They are only too happy to answer a homeowner's call for help with repairs, maintenance, and improvements.
When shopping for a handyman in your area, look for a locally based professional with good references that has been in the business a long time. Contractors are frequently the best resources for finding the right handyman in your area. It is also a good idea to check with reputable Realtors in your area. Since Realtors cannot sell a property that is not well maintained, they usually have a handyman on their roster.
