I purchased a home about a month ago to live in, fix up and eventually resell. Since moving in, I have contacted numerous companies, contractors, handymen, etc. I'm amazed at how many of them have come out, and never followed up. I never get the quote, or someone never shows up for the job, whatever. One local Tucson heating and cooling company, a name you would all recognize, came out to bid a new HVAC system. When I didn't hear back, I went on to their website and sent them a note through the "contact me" link. I got a call back the next morning, full of apologies and explanations of a broken fax machine, and they promised to get me the bid later that day. I never heard from them again!
I'm tired of chasing people! What would happen if I just blew off a lead? Or never returned calls? No one would hire me, that's what!
So I'm looking for recommendations for a handyman in the Oro Valley/Catalina area. Someone that is good, wants my money, and will show up! Any suggestions?
The good news for me though is that I am becoming an excellent handyman in my own right! Who knew I could intall my own light fixtures!


I've had similar problems finding good people to do work around the home. if you call 10 contractors. Maybe three will return the calls. On the whole they're not very organized. We were going through boom in the economy when this was happening. Good luck with your projects
