My hat off to those people who wire things on a regular basis. I tried installing a ceiling fan earlier this evening, and it took forever to wrap the wires right. Hell, I doubt I got the wire configuration right. #Handyman

It seems to me that there is a close relationship between how terrible a website is and how good the tradesperson it represents is.

Does it have web 1.0 design feature? A weird font? Fabulous. Is the contact form broken? Excellent. Is it unable to display properly on mobile? This person is a master of crafts, they will be able to fix that thing that's been stressing you in under 45 mins, will want paying in cash and will leave with a cheery wave and funny anecdote.

It's great working for a company that has it's own handyman team.
Our Food Bank has 3 guys that keep our locations functioning, safe, and up to code.
I asked one of the guys today, Josh, if he was good at replacing Windscreen Wiper blades, and he said he was.
Josh definitely know the tricks as he took off the old wipers with a method that was NOT in any of the videos I watched.
Ruthven the Rav4 how has a new full set of wipers!!!
Thank you Josh!

Good morning, friends. 💮💮💮

I hired Angi to clean my gutters today, with someone scheduled to arrive at 9:00 AM. During the booking process, Angi provides a list of available start times, allowing you to choose when you want the work to begin. However, the assigned person almost always calls to change the schedule. What's the point of having a schedule if it's not going to be followed? I've started telling them to contact Angi directly if they need to reschedule. I believe that when a job is available, it's grabbed on a first-come, first-served basis from the Angi pool. I really don't care as long as the job gets done, but I find there are potential problems if I get involved with the scheduling.
