Odd Job Bob | Handyman Vs The Experts

When it comes to protecting and caring for your home (which is often one of the most significant assets we will invest in during our lifetime), you want to makesure that you don’t take shortcuts in the upkeep of the property. When managing maintenance requests on behalf of our landlords, we often hear them say they want to attend to the maintenance themselves or go with the cheapest quote.
