At Pitt Pro Handyman Services we are proud of Our Steel City, The City of Bridges, The BURGH! HI, I am J.P. an I am your Pitt Pro Handyman and I am here to provide ….
Our Pittsburgh PA handyman services include many areas of the home which can be located at each tab at the top of our website. Each area of the home has several areas of services that we offer or in some cases are not able to offer due to licensing or other requirements.
A handyman is a person skilled, able or employed to do occasional domestic repairs and minor renovations. This handyman term is generally connected to a paid person who will do home repairs yet homeowners who feel skilled can and do consider themselves to be handyman. This is fine as many homeowners can use the internet resources to learn how to do something and then invest their free time in performing such tasks. The current trend is for homeowner handymen to hire a handyman to perform these tasks and manage their own free time performing their profession, career or spending that valuable free time with their loved ones.
Historically a handyman has been considered a non-skilled or non-specialized profession and has earned less respect in the industry. General contractors will hire handymen to perform the tasks of their construction projects and then upcharge the project owner for the work that a handyman has performed. This is fine, it is how the industry has worked for hundreds of years and there is no need to change that yet when this comes to a residential homeowner or a small business owner who needs the services the story changes.
The ugly truth is that a General Contractor will not provide services to a homeowner and expects that larger and easier projects be delivered to their email in box. This leaves the homeowners or small business owners in a tight spot as they need these services, yet the General Contractors are consuming the time of the local handymen and there are no industry professionals available to service the homeowner or small business owner. This leaves homeowners in a bind as they need an affordable handyman, yet all of the skilled affordable handyman are working for the General Contractors on large construction projects.
A homeowner may resort to searching lists of Handymen online, this generally leads to frustration. In general, our clients indicate that they prefer to not use handyman lists such as Angie, HomeAdvice or others. They indicate that their biggest concern is that the handymen have no home on the web where their company and work can be reviewed. In addition, they indicate that the people reviewing the Handymen have no knowledge of what good bad or indifferent actually is. They have no experience or skills to know what average handyman is, what is a skilled handyman and what is an amateur handyman and what is a professional highly skilled handyman. With online catalogues of service providers charging handymen to be in their database to be able to bid on their members projects the price of a simple home repair has skyrocketed and continues to climb. The ugly truth is that handymen who sign up to these catalogs end up working for pennies on the dollar and soon end up out of business as all of their income and time is dedicated to bidding projects that the catalog has given to one hundred or more different handymen. We do not Angie, we do not Yelp, we do not Homeadvise or Pauls or other. You should know that the price of the simple repair will continue to skyrocket as this is cyclical and each and every handyman that signs up with these catalogs or websites will end up broke and out of business. When they send leads to one hundred handymen your phone will start ringing and your email will fill up quickly but in reality, nothing is getting done.
Years ago, before your or my time, being a handyman was a prestigious occupation, people revered the man who could resolve all issues, the jack of all trades. You could contact the local handyman and in most cases your repair need would be resolved that day. Somewhere in time that was lost and the handyman skills were lessened and handymen became less appreciated and almost a last resort to resolve issues. The time that should be spent making the repair is somehow consumed five fold in telephone conversations, bidding, comparison shopping. The homeowner saves a dollar and the handyman makes an appointment three weeks in the future to repair an issue that is happening now. Waiting three weeks is definitely not worth the dollar saved.
At Pit Pro Handyman we do not participate in any of those catalogue programs or websites, we do not subscribe to any of those lists or service provider programs. We invest in making our website better, writing articles on our website to provide a level of comfort to our potential clients that we are knowledgeable and trustworthy. Our intent is to make an honest living providing quality services in an honest and forefront manner. One example of this is a recent call for a window repair, the potential client’s window would not stay open, and he called and needed services to adjust this window. As it was an older window out of warranty, we could provide that service yet would need to charge an additional fee for travel as he was 100 miles away. Based upon our telephone quote that we provided based upon the images that he sent in we were able to provide same day services. He optioned to pay the trip fee for our drive to and from his location and the quote that we provided was reasonable in his opinion. We were able to provide him a price quote based upon the images he provided, and this only took five minutes on the phone to arrange and we were on our way.
