How You Can Find a Good Handyman in Your New Location

With all the hustle and bustle that accompanies the strenuous task of moving, it’s understandable if there are a few things that you forget to do before moving to your new area. One of the oversights that relocating homeowners tend to commit is searching for a local handyman that has a good reputation. This can prove to be a problem if there happens to be an emergency in your home. Thankfully, it is possible to find a good handyman quickly.

In this post, Handyman Connection® of Rockville discusses various ways you can find a good local handyman in your new area.

Word of Mouth

Word of mouth is one of the best ways. You can ask your neighbors and family members in the area for some leads that can help you speed up your search. In addition, there’s a high probability that whoever you ask has firsthand experience with the handyman’s workmanship.

Local Hardware Store

On the other hand, if you don’t have time to ask your neighbors or relatives, you can always go to the local hardware store. The employees may have some helpful recommendations for you and it’s likely there are posters and fliers advertising home repair services in your area. If you’re lucky, you may even run into an actual handyman in the store.

Yelp

Yelp is one of the best websites to use if you’re looking for a handyman or other home service providers. Users will post their reviews and recommendations so you’ll immediately know if the handyman you’re looking at can be trusted with your needs. All you’ll have to do is type in your location and the service you’re looking for and Yelp will show you multiple businesses in your area, ranked according to their star ratings.

Houzz

If you’re looking for interior design services, Houzz is a great resource. Houzz isn’t just known for their interior design marketplace, however, as they offer additional services as well. You can find everything from electricians to painters to lawn care professionals with Houzz.

Angie’s List

Angie’s List is another site that provides an online directory of home service professionals. You can narrow down your search on this website according to their reviews, ratings and insights of those who have used their services before. Angie’s List also labels trustworthy companies as “certified pros,” allowing you to narrow down your search even further.
