I run my own handyman service. So far I have found clients soley by
referral -- lucky me. I mention this because it's the best way to find a
handyman. Ask your friends for names of people they use. Do you know a
real estate agent? They work with handymen all the time.
If you want to go with the Mr. Handyman person, ask for referrals. Make
sure they're for the person who will do your work.
