Be sure to have the deed to your house on hand or the owner ready to sign documents if you want this guy to even show up to your home for minor handyman work. Apparently he has a problem with renters. Even though I assured him I would give him the info he needed to contact the property management or the owner for anything he thought was questionable, he still seemed frazzled and confused.
I called and spoke to this guy on the phone about minor odd jobs. He said he would be able to squeeze us in for an estimate within a day or two and let us know what he could do, and what we needed to get permission for from property management. He stated that he could return over the weekend for the actual work. He asked me to text him, but he never responded to two separate texts, and never showed for the estimate and whatnot. Then when I called as a last attempt days later. He seemed clueless as to what tenants responsibilities are, got an attitude, then stated that he doesn't do "this kind of work anymore," when only days ago although frazzled and confused he said nothing of the sort. Would have been nice if he'd been responsive and honest from the beginning instead of wasting a week of my time. read more
