Looking for a Handyman

[Steve Horvath]

Have a couple odd jobs around my property and looking for handyman recommendations?  Property is near west suburbs - Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park area.

Thanks!

With the overheated labor market, good people are hard to find. I have a couple of people I use, but you are looking at around $80/$100 an hour + materials. If you just want someone to learn on your property, I'd recommend Craigslist but who you get will vary dramatically, you'll want to be there to supervise and also know at least enough to know when the job is being done wrong. Ironically if you know that, for most small jobs by the time you are done dealing with a hire, you could have just knocked it out yourself and used the money to buy a nice dinner/bottle of wine.

If you don't want to go the CL route, feel free to PM me. I'm not guaranteeing I'll do one, as I want to protect my guys (and my reputation with them) from crazy jobs or unrealistic property owners. But if you seem reasonable I'm happy to make the intro.
