I need to get some work done on my South Yarra unit before/while it's on the rental market. Could I please have recommendations for a cabinet maker, handyman, electrician and plumber in that general area. thanks guys
I say good luck. I have had a heap of them do quotes and many don't even follow up or follow through. True local seems to be a good site but always do your research on them. Some even askf or 50% upfront.. I say to them no! I will pay cash. Depends if you can trust them or not. If they are recommended to me by someone I know I will be ok with this.
I agree. The quote process is a kind of test for them -- did they show up on time? Or at all? Did they follow up with an email or phone call if they said they would?
Chances are if they don't do these things when they are trying to get your business, they won't do it when they're on the job. If anyone has a good, reliable affordable builder, plumber, bricklayer and sparky that they would recommend please PM me to let me know!
Where are you finding these trades? I think when you hire a tradie you need to be a good judge of character.
A good PM should have their tradies sorted. Through my PM, I've had a good electrician do the work needed and quickly for a good price, and a handyman has quoted and will do the work soon. I still want the name of a good cabinet maker and plumber in case I need to put in a new kitchen (although I'm hoping not to).
Step in my shoes for a week. I'm a cabinet maker, have my own business for 9 years, don't advertise and don't work for builders.
Builders don't pay unfortunately. Had one call me Last year. Gave me the quote and said this is your price. I laughed for a week. Told him I may as well work for wages. Probably some other poor sucker took the job.
