Handyman Hell -- good at first then leave in the dark for weeks
Hello TOTVers,
I'm trying to deal with being an absentee homeowner, and I've had 2 well-known handymen now who have started out great --
- then with the 2nd job they say "yes, I can to do that" -- then you don't hear from them literally for weeks at a time! !!!
Can anyone recommend a handyman that doesn't treat snowbirds so badly? it's not the work, it's the relationship. It's like they don't realize snowbirds are people too, and treat them like crap.
(I've seen a lot of that elsewhere among the "natives" -- I call it the Florida-Eff-You : nice and social at first, but a little further into the relationship they lay into with bad treatment or language so rough they might as well say "Go eff yourself, Yankee!" I try to tell them the Golden Rule applies to customers too. "Would YOU like to be treated the way you've just treated me?"...
