Are you hoping to get a pair of new
lights installed in your living room? Or does that leaky
pipe in your kitchen
needs fixing? Is that electrical snag sticking out of the
power socket
detrimental to your child’s safety? Or are you considering
getting a paint-job
done on your house? Because, if your answer to any of those
questions is in the
affirmative, then please pick up the phone nearest to you
and call a handyman.
No, I am serious! Please, don’t try to be
a hero and make that call.
Because, let’s be real. If it is broken, a Handyman can fix
it. If it is old and worn, a Handyman can replace it. And if
you are in a budget fix, a Handyman can do his best to
modify it. Precisely speaking, if you need to keep your
surroundings in top-shape, you may need the handy skills of
a handyman. Handyman are generally specialized in a wide
range of skills as they offer varying services, including:
· Fixing and mounting shelves, TV brackets, curtain rods,
roller blinds.
· Providing landscape solutions – Research proves that
looking at nature boosts an individual’s psychological
health.
· Carrying out minor, as well as major tiling work.
· Installing ceiling lights, hanging lights, false ceiling
PLC light, replacing an expired light, upgrading to LED to
save energy, and converting existing light fixtures to LED
to save utility bills.
· Supplying and running SCV point or LAN cable
· Installing, repairing, and moving existing switch socket
outlets.
· Assembling furniture; including shelves, desks, and
drawers.
· Mounting and installing ceiling fans or wall fans.
· Painting whole units for residential or commercial
purposes – Painting on your own gets paint everywhere, from
the furniture to the carpet, unless you have had past
experience in painting. But even if you do, who has the
time?
· Re-piping, rectifying pipe choke issues and unclogging.
· Installing all kind of tap, mixer tap, and other bathroom
fixtures.
· Electrical snags – Do-it-yourself electrical repairs can
be a dicey proposition, which brings handymen into the mix.
· Fixing and handling door knob issues; including
installation of stainless steel door handles for glass
fittings.
· Installing, replacing, and adjusting automatic door
controls, so that they close after you at various speed and
also lock in position when needed.
· Installing and replacing floor springs – Offices often
require the replacement of their floor board and springs,
thus making it a task available for men who work with their
hands.
· Disposing off bulky items, including non-working
appliances, while helping in the installation of working
appliances.
· Removing photos and posters when needed, followed by
patching up the walls.
· Offering space solutions, specially when renovating the
premises.
As apparent by the long list of tasks mentioned, it can be
safely said that Handymen are, for lack of a better term,
jacks of all trades, providing maintenance solutions and
assistance to residential buildings, houses, and offices.
They tackle tasks that vary from installing a new power
outlet in your bedroom to remodeling your entire kitchen.
And in order to complete those tasks, Handyman often carry
around their equipment and have their vehicles stuffed with
the tools of their trade. If you peek into a handyman’s
vehicle, you might find a wood-cutter snugly fitting up
against a range of bottles, from thinners to floor cleaners;
a step ladder horizontally positioned in the corner; and
screws of all sizes scattered inside a tool-box.
Due to their chosen path, however, handymen often work at
odd hours, as many clients prefer them to visit and begin
repairs once they are home from work. However, the duration
and cost of the work that a handyman does in one visit
depends on the extent of the repair and the task at hand.
It has been noted, that in the past, the bulk of handyman
business came through word of mouth. However, in recent
years, with the use of technology, applications have been
created on mobile devices to spread the negative reviews or
to forward the positive information regarding a handyman’s
skills. This has also led to an increase in the demand for
handyman services, even in the leaner months.
Finding a handyman is not quite daunting a task. Instead,
several handyman services have set up blogs and websites to
direct customers to their online domains, encouraging
customers contact them accordingly. Most of these providers
mention their prices as well, in order to make it simpler
for the customers to decide which handyman service they
should go for. Although, the choice of a specific service
depends on a number offactors, which are as follows:
· The planning and creation of allowance/budget for the job
– Customers should have a ballpark figure ready, in case the
handyman will be required to modify the extent of the
repairs, respectively.
· The provision of service and after-work guarantee offered
by the company plays a significant role, including the
payment of the premium upfront, which can sometimes deter
the customer from getting repairs done.
· The nature of the fixing job - If it requires a specialist
electrician or plumber, then a handyman should not be asked
to handle the situation.
· The rates of the handyman – these differ, based on the
experience of the craftsman you have opted for, and his
previously set fixed rate.
· The amount quoted by the handyman, including the cost of
additional material that will be required for the repairs.
Despite your choice of handyman, they are considered to be
the outside reinforcement that you need at times to run your
office and home smoothly. No matter whether you need a tiny
bit of help with a faulty electrical layout, or complete
assistance with a tricky repair job, hiring the services of
a handyman would help you restore any kind of fixer-upper.
Really, if you are willing to pay for it, they are willing
to fix it.
