It can be a challenge to complete commercial and residential repair or improvement projects. Researching workers, gathering quotes, comparing prices, checking references, and interviewing potential workers takes time and effort. Using multiple companies or specialized individuals for each project can become tedious – and expensive. With a handyman, you can complete multiple tasks in one day, for a small fee.
What Can a Handyman Help With?
The better question is, what can’t a handyman help with? A handyman is a skilled professional who can complete a wide range of minor repairs or home improvement projects in a single visit. A handyman’s scope of work might include painting, window repair, installation, mounting, plumbing, appliance repair, electrical work, flooring, carpentry, general upkeep, and other home repairs.
Temporary workers are ideal for the never-ending list of home improvement tasks that you just can’t complete or don’t have time to do yourself.

Helpful Tips to Hire a Handyman
While you’re searching for the right person for the job, keep these tips in mind:
Gather Information
Once you’ve found a worker you’d like to learn more about, you can click their name to view their profile. The more research you do, the better your results. Take the time to look at a worker’s profile information. Applicants with the most complete profiles have put in the effort and will be more likely to show up, be professional and do excellent work. Look for a professional profile photo and bio, qualifications, and relevant experience on jobs that align with your handyman projects. For example, an electrician license, a plumber license, or a painting certification.
If you have received multiple worker applicants, begin comparing their profiles.
Trust the Reviews
View the worker’s ratings and reviews from previous Shifts. GigSmart doesn’t edit reviews and workers cannot delete them. Read all of the reviews, good and bad, to get a full overview. This can help you determine which worker is the most qualified for the task and who you’d like to hire. We suggest hiring workers with high ratings and positive reviews whenever possible.
Organize and Prioritize
Be sure to get organized and have a plan for your handyman prior to your Shift start time. Prioritize your list of projects so the worker knows where to start, what to work on next, and what they need to finish before the end of the Shift. The worker will be able to complete tasks faster if they have clear expectations from the start. After the worker is finished we encourage you to check their work before submitting payment to make sure it’s complete and done to your satisfaction.
Why Hire a Handyman on the Get Workers App?
There are many benefits of hiring a handyman on the Get Workers app. With GigSmart you can find, hire, manage, and pay workers all through the app.
Save Time
Hiring a qualified professional provides convenience and saves you time. As a homeowner, you know there is always something that could be fixed or improved, but who has the time? A qualified handyman can tackle your to-do list and more in a single visit, saving you the time and stress of doing it yourself. Forget coordinating with multiple workers from different companies that complete one project at a time.
Save Money
With GigSmart you don’t need to gather quotes and compare prices. Hire a handyman at the pay rate of your choosing and you only pay for work completed.
Tools and Safety
You don’t have to buy or rent expensive tools. Hire a handyman that already has all the tools and equipment necessary for your projects. Furthermore, using tools and equipment you don’t have experience using or proper training with can be dangerous. Leave it to a handyman with the knowledge of how to use tools specific to your Shift to get the job done safely.
