There are things other handymen just don't want you to know!
I'm risking having any friends in this industry by telling you these things; but, I have decided that you need to know what they don't want you to know.
So, the very first you MUST know that handymen don't want you to know is:
"Free Estimates" are NEVER free!
Thats right when you call for a free estimate who do you think is paying for the time and gas it takes to look at and put an estimate together?
YOU are!
That's right every estimate that you get for free already contains the mark-up to cover the time, effort, and gas needed to come up with it. If one particular Handyman does not get your project he will ad that cost to his next "free estimate" and they will pay for his time.
This is the way it goes over and over until he gets his next job.
The entire idea of FREE estimates is part of the reason remodeling/repairs are so expensive.
Here is something else to think about ... with every "free estimate" you ask for you are spending your time and subjecting yourself to the aggressive sales tactics of each individual salesman.
They offer free estimates for a reason. They want the chance to get in your house and start convincing you that you need them and no one else.
What if you could get the Handyman with the highest work ethic, lowest price, and get it guaranteed?
You would never need another estimate again.
