I'm looking for a reliable handyman for some small jobs that are beyond my DIY skills but too minor for a big company. What's the best way to find someone trustworthy for this work?

One of the best ways to find a good handyman is to ask around within your neighborhood or your circle of friends. Personal recommendations from people you know can lead you to trustworthy individuals way better than any online search. You get to hear about their experiences, which is super helpful.
Exactly! Nothing beats word-of-mouth when it comes to hiring someone for these kinds of jobs.
Be careful if you're asking for suggestions on social platforms like Facebook. You often end up seeing people recommend friends or family who might not be the best fit for the job. If you do go that route, make sure to look for real customer reviews to get an accurate picture.
Haha, yeah, those kinds of recommendations can be hit or miss—filter through to find the legit ones!
Right? A lot of people just promote their relatives instead of skilled workers.
Try visiting local places like Home Depot or independent stores. Sometimes, the staff there know reliable handymen who can help with what you need. Plus, it's always good to talk to those who have a reputation in the community.
Totally agree! Online searches can lead to tons of questionable recommendations or silly ads. Stick with trusted reviews.
