Where Can I Find a Handyman?

Since a handyman is a very general term for somebody who can do just about anything, if you want some Home Improvement work done at home and you can’t do it yourself either through your lack of skill or lack of time, then you need to find a handyman. A handyman doesn't require a license to do his job as others such as plumbers or electricians do. Virtually anyone that is good with his hands, has always had a desire for fixing things, and contains a full tool box, can call himself a handyman. Because with this, you should be very thorough in your interviews as you find a handyman to hire for almost any remodeling work. Handymen tend to be jacks of all trades; they generally have experience in many areas which may not even relate to each another. Joe might like to do all sorts of yard work and house painting while Phil likes to do flooring and bits and pieces. That’s perfectly OK. Online project and job boards like www.HireContractor.com is a good idea resources when it comes time to find, evaluate, and use just about any type of Home Remodeling or repair expert. However, should you can’t find the right person, you will find choices. For certain kinds of work, it’s simple to head to any large home improvement center and look at their public advertising boards up front where people put ads and business cards. Look for cards that say Remodeling Repairs, Flooring, Woodworking, Painting, Landscaping, Outdoor lighting… anything you need done for do it yourself. Also check out the classified section in your local newspaper. If you don’t subscribe, go online. Many newspapers allow free postings inside their online versions and you will be able to find more handyman ads there than in the print version. Obviously, always check with people you understand - neighbors, people from work, relatives, etc. - to see if they know of anyone. For instance, if you live in a new community where all of the houses went up at comparable time, things will usually all start needing repairs at the same time. If you need your driveway done, or if perhaps you want your tiles cleaned and re-grouted, there’s a good venture someone else you know has already had it done and will be happy to give you the referral. If you do plan on using somebody that your neighbor recommends, you might want to drop by and actually the begin to see the home improvement work he did. This is the best kind of reference you'll be able to expect.
