(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, August 20, 2014 ) St Paul MN The St Paul handyman has sound advice for consumers who are looking for honest and reliable home service providers. Though some people think the concern with physical attacks and home robberies by a home repair contractor is extreme, many elderly or single female owners do feel vulnerable. This is a rare occurrence with people that call a local handyman from a reputable company; however, seniors and single female homeowners tend to be cautious when inviting a stranger into their home.
The need for senior home modification, especially bathroom remodeling services like walk in bathtubs and roll in showers has increased, so the demand for honest and dependable contractors has grown. The danger with handyman scams and crimes is most present with those who goes door to door looking for work. A reputable St Paul handyman will not need to go door knocking to find work. He already has a name and reputation.
In any event, safety is a major issue today. With so many scam stories heard in the news people are becoming more aware of the need to take precautions. Single, older homeowners feel most vulnerable when they need home repair and seasonal maintenance service. Even if the handyman comes highly recommended by a trusted friend or neighbor, the person dispatched to the job is a stranger. The company may send a different contractor than the one who provide great service for the friend.
Collin Dickey, owner of HandyPro Handyman Services (http://StPaul.handymanhoops.com) understands the concern and suggests the following tips when hiring a contractor or other home service provider:
Ask for the repairman's physical description. If the handyman is employed by a large company, ask the service representative for a physical description of the contractor.
Ask to see the handyman's photo identification. Sometimes the handyman arrives in his own pick-up truck or panel van with no logo or lettering. Ask to see photo ID or credentials proving he is indeed the home service provider expected.
Keep an eye on the repairman. A handyman should not roam around the house without supervision. Show him the job to be done and watch him as much as possible while he works.
Let a neighbor know that a repairman is coming to the home so they can keep an eye out or stop by while the service man is there.
Do not leave valuable items like expensive jewelry, laptop computers, and cash laying around.
Consumers should report any suspicious, rude or unprofessional behavior of a home service provider to the company. Perhaps this isnt the first complaint they have received, so they will take action to protect their customers and their reputation.
