Handyman calls we buy
Handyman traffic works best when the tasks are specific. A caller who needs shelves fitted, a door adjusted and a small drywall patch should have those jobs described individually. A general request for someone to fix the house is difficult to qualify.
Ask about the number of tasks, materials already purchased and any access or scheduling constraints. Some offers accept a short punch list while others focus on a narrower set of jobs. Do not assume that every provider can handle plumbing, electrical or structural work.
Larger renovations and jobs needing specialist qualifications should be routed appropriately. Publishers should avoid quoting an hourly rate, minimum visit charge or completion time unless the receiving business has approved those terms.
Accepted call types
Call types must match the offer approved for your account. Confirm the service, location and caller intent before routing.
