If you own a home or condo, you probably have a list of things you need or want to do to the place. Sometimes the jobs that need doing are complicated or require special tools to complete, but hiring a residential handyman to do those jobs for you can be the perfect solution.
Painting and Drywall Repairs
Painting is one of those jobs that is commonly required, but most people do not enjoy doing it. In homes with high ceilings, the job is more difficult because you have to have a way to reach the taller walls, but hiring handyman services to do the painting is often a good plan.
Typically the handyman services will come with the tools to do the job, so ladders and rollers with long extensions on them may be part of the painter's tool kit. Using a handyman service instead of a painter often means you need to buy the paint for the job and have it available. The handyman can measure the space and help you figure out how much paint you will need for the job.
If there are areas where the drywall needs repairing before your handyman can paint it, you will need to let the handyman services company know so they can send someone that patch holes and fix areas that need it. If the handyman shows up and there is damage to repair but they were not aware of it, the extra work could delay the job as they get the right tools and supplies needed to make the repairs for you.
Flooring Installation
Another great job for a handyman service is installing some new flooring in your home. A floating flooring material available from most home centers can add a nice finish to any room in your home, but putting the flooring in may require a saw, some special tools, and some knowledge of how the system goes into place.
If you are not comfortable putting down flooring like this, hiring handyman services for the job is a great idea. The handyman services will select a handyman that has experience with this kind of work and send them over to do the job.
Selecting a Handyman
Some handyman services allow the homeowner to go through a list of people online and select someone for the job based on experience, references, and ratings from other clients if you want to do that. When you contact a handyman service to work with, make sure that they vet all their workers with background checks and criminal records check so you know you are getting someone trustworthy to work in your home.
