Introduction
As of recent I have found it necessary to clear up a few items. I charge a initial fee for coming over. I have to do this to cover my expenses, fuel, time, the cost of Thumbtack. When it comes to window repair. I fix the windows but not the glass. Appliances, I do install, Over range microwaves, Refrigerators , water lines. I clean out dryer vents. I have recently repair two different water supply lines for washing machine, that were corroded on. Please remember I do need to charge that initial fee. My performance, I show up. If I can not show I will be in communication. My work is done on a professional level. My attitude of the years has turned many of my customers in to life long friends. I have been trusted not only with the security of very high end homes, but I was in shock when one of my customers, ran to the store. She told me she was leaving William, a three year old, if I didn't mind. I made the remark that I appreciated the trust she had in me. Funny enough her response to that was she trusted me to care for him more than her husband. I really enjoy the feeling, of being welcomed and people happy to see me, not only as a repairman, but as a friend. I have actually spent many holidays, birthdays, or just dinners out with people who started with that, first call to me. The people and the constant change of work. I leave a home and the customer is happy and smiling. I have taken the stress out of their problems, and solved them. The confidence , trust, and relief my customers have, that once they have a problem, their solution is to call Chris.

Chris is an excellent handyman! He’s done sooo much work for us in our new home already: setting up new fans and remotes, helping with setting up our security system, putting together furniture, helping with our appliances. He’s truth-worthy and a hard worker. I highly recommend him!

I never got a chance to hire Extra Hand Handyman ( Chris ) as he replied to my request from Thumbtack by phone. He figured my electrical issue was a simple issue and he could troubleshoot over the phone with a simple fix. He was on a different job and took the time out to answer my request on Thumbtack. He asked me half a dozen questions and suggested I try a couple of things to see if that was the problem. And if I couldn't fix it set up an appointment. Within one and a half hours of talking to Chris, I fixed the problem. Extra Hand Handyman, Chris did a very honorable thing by saving me at least $130. Knowing he was losing out on $130 he helped me over the phone. I will definitely put Chris`s phone number on my speed dial for future projects.

Details: Less than 2 hours (Simple tasks) • Repairs • Living room • Electrical • Home

Chris did a great job and offered to do extra jobs since he finished the initial job under the allotted 2 hours. We plan to hire him anytime we need a handyman.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I do charge an initial fee. This is order to cover my expenses, ie. fuel, time, thumbtack fees.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I do ask questions. I try to figure out the best course of action for them. Time budget, goals. Recently I had a woman purchase a front door lock that wasn't very good, $12. Very cheap for a front door. I told her if she would go out a purchase a good one , I would come back for free and install it. I felt better she was safer and I would have a customer down the road. I've been back to do three other jobs for her. I do charge by the hour for most jobs. I have found it comes out fair for both sides. For larger jobs we can always discuss other ways, as well as not exceed options.
