It might look awkward to book a handyman service for tasks which often look trivial at first but, when you try to do it on your own, you get perplexed and commit mistakes that eventually cost you more than what you would have spent by on booking a handyman service provider in India.
My father is a mechanical engineer and he is very passionate about fixing and making things on his own. He has a very good understanding of how to take care of small repair and fixing jobs related to carpentry, electrical and plumbing. He recently built a computer table all on his own. He can replace bathroom taps and faucets. Working with wire, soldering, drills is a piece of cake for him.
But still it is not possible for him to do all these every time some repairing work is required especially common household electrical works that requires time and effort. He is one of those workaholic people who likes to work even on Sundays rather than relaxing or spending some leisure time. But recently our 3 year old sofa’s cushion was getting torn at several places; it has got some design issue from the beginning, the cushions where designed such that three people can sit there comfortably but at the same time it was stretched to the maximum tension and because of this it gradually started to get contused.
Now it was impossible for my father to fix it as it is beyond any repair as per his expertise. Hence we called our reliable carpenter for this job and he recommended us a person who can fix our sofa, we have bought our sofa at a price of 20K, 3 years ago, now we spent more 5k on it repairs but we are very happy with the repairing work that he have performed over it. He not only changed the faulty design but also made it look like new, and gave a guarantee of 5 years. The 5k we spent on our sofa is worth the investment and now it looks completely new.
Well if you have a person like my father in your family, then you are also lucky like me, if not then consider booking a handyman service for all types of repairing and maintenance work at your home that can be done by a plumber, electrician or a carpenter. There are several trivial issues we often over look or try to deal on our own that cost us heavily or lead to permanent repairing issues that make us to chastise ourselves for the decision. Like recently I tried my hand on drilling on my wall to fix a soft board in it, I ended up breaking my board and damaging my drill too. Fortunately I was not injured in the process. It now make sense when my father use to say that, being jack of all trades is not bad but still you should keep out of things which you are not confident with (I thought, I have inherited these qualities from my father but on that day I was proved wrong) later that evening I got scolded by my father on my foolish act, then I decided not to indulge in doing these repair work which is beyond my control.
This small incident would have gone ugly If I accidently hurt myself with the drill it could have been fatal. Hence it is always recommended to use professional handyman services for various requirements regarding, electrical, plumbing and carpentry work. All you have to do is to book a handyman service company in your city. Handyman companies usually send their executives to asses or directly fix, repair or install things according to your needs. But just be a little sure when booking a pro because everyone may not have the expertise to take on all sorts of repair works, can they?
Even we have fallen trapped with such a dishonest carpenter in the past, we got his reference through some friends or relatives, we have specifically hired him to work on the kitchen cabinet, He has given a very cheap estimate of the work, and since my father was out of town and I know nothing about this and we immediately need to repair it, so we hired him. Initially that guy came and started working, and then he asked to buy some wooden fixtures and other related stuffs, when we smelled something fishy I insisted him to go with him, and accompany him while he buy’s everything he wanted, But he somehow managed to cajole us not to go with him and bring those stuffs on his own, I got my first shock when he didn’t come back with the stuffs and later I was again shocked to see that this miserable guy lives only few blocks away from our home, whenever we find him, he says that he is going to come the next day, such a shameless fellow. My father almost got in a brawl with him with this issue.
On another such instance we have got a shrewd wall painter whom we call whenever we need some renovation work on our walls, this guy is different than the other one, he is very expert in his work but, at the same time he tries to take undue advantage from us like after finishing up with the projects he ask to keep the ladder he used for the work and other such out of the world demands.
It is really hard to get hold of the right person for any repairing or renovation work. As most of them are after money and give little importance in doing the job with perfection. To find such a passionate person who give proper importance to the work has became really hard now days. Fortunately we finally have got the reference of a good carpenter and hence so far we have faced no problem in getting hold of the right person to do the repairing works.
Here’s how to book handyman services in India
Start by stating your exact requirements and explain the project properly to him. Make a list of the entire home repairing work you want to perform. The main problem is that most of them will not be eager to come for doing a small work for which you will pay them 50 to 100 bucks, so gather all the repairing work you require in your house and ask them to fix all of them. Remember, a handyman is best utilized for small jobs such as fixing wooden fixtures, fixing TV on your wall, patching drywall and painting walls, fixing taps or faucets etc. You can present it to them collectively so that it will be worth their time and effort they put in to reach at your residence and do the work. Otherwise they might pass.
No matter what, we have to rely on these people for our repairing works; you should keep looking until you find the best one. There are several handyman service providers who are eager to work for you, but you should be cautious while dealing with them. One thing is for sure that no work is small; you can only say that if you are expert in it. Or else give the credit to the responsible and dexterous handyman who is easily fixing your stuffs for a mere amount that is a fraction decimal of your salary.
