No matter if your project is a small or big one, the biggest decision you will have to make is who you will hire. A handyman can make or brake your project and the bank. The current economy has left a surplus of handymen that are willing to work under their normal wages which will save you money. The key is to find a quality handyman. The following steps will help lead you to the right handyman for the right price.

  Choosing a specialist over a handyman depends on your project. Many handymen are quite knowledgeable and competent in many areas, so check out every handyman even if they don't have the right credentials after their name.

  Research past projects they have worked on and follow up by calling the people who have already hired them. Ask the handyman for references and call the references. Ask questions such as how they felt about the result of the project and did the time estimate come close to the actual completion of the job.

  Specialists tend to cost more money than a handyman but if your project entails electricity, plumbing, heating and cooling systems; going with a specialist will give you peace of mind.

  Shop around and get at least four to five bids for your project. Take your time and don't feel rushed. You are in charge of your project.
