Senior Citizens in Scott Depot Trust
HandyPro for all their Home Repair and Special Renovation Needs
Older people feel vulnerable to being treated unfairly by home improvement contractors…take it from one who knows first-hand
Scott Depot WV – HandyPro Handyman Service was founded by Keith Paul realized a need to raise the standards of quality in the home service industry. He was inspired to start his own home repair and renovation service when his grandmother was treated unfairly by a contractor.
Several handyman service scams are reported in the news, causing concern among single homeowners and senior citizens who are uncomfortable about choosing and hiring a contractor. Even if they call a company based on a trusted recommendation, the contractor they send may not the same one that earned the referral. Many home improvement companies are advertised on the internet with impressive websites that boast honesty, reliability and professional workmanship, but anyone can type these words (as I just did).
Lyndon Jones, owner of HandyPro Handyman Service (http://www.handypro.com/West_Virginia.html), suggests tips to help consumers protect themselves from unscrupulous home service providers. They can start by doing a little research on the company using credible websites like the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List or Service Magic. If the handyman they are considering is not listed on any of these sites, chances are he cannot be trusted. All home service providers should at least be a member of the BBB to show they are reputable.
Consumers can also ask for a physical description of the contractor that will be sent. Does he drive a company vehicle with lettering and a logo? Will he be in uniform? If not, then it is important to at least know what he will be driving and how he can be identified.
Though the handyman may be licensed and bonded, it is not a good idea to leave them alone in the home. Take care to put valuables like jewelry and cash away. If possible, invite a friend or neighbor over for coffee to help keep an eye on things.
Lyndon Jones does not want residents to be afraid when they need home improvement or general repairs done, but he knows first-hand the emotional effect of a bad experience with a contractor. Most everyone has heard a story about a home service gone wrong. Consumers deserve quality service, professional workmanship and fair prices, and only the honest and reliable companies deserve their business.
HandyPro Handyman Service has earned a reputation for honesty and professional quality work. All service technicians are licensed and insured. They must pass a background check and drug testing to be part of the HandyPro team. The handyman will show up on time, in uniform with a fully-stocked, lettered service van so there is no doubt about who is at the door.
