How to Prep for Your Handyman Visit
Calling a Daddy™ is the first step to getting your home back in shape, but a little prep before we arrive can save you time, money, and stress.
Think of it like this: the more ready your space is, the faster we can get in, fix it, and get you back to enjoying your day.
Here’s your Shreveport-ready prep checklist:
1. Make a Master List of What You Need Fixed
Handymen work best when they can tackle multiple jobs in one trip. Walk through your home (inside and out) and jot down anything that’s been bugging you:
That sticking door
Loose outlet covers
The mystery drip under the sink
The towel bar that’s been “leaning” for months
💡 Pro tip: Group small fixes together. It’s more cost-efficient than calling multiple times.
2. Clear the Work Area
Our tools need space, and so do we. Move furniture, rugs, or decor away from the repair zone. If it’s outside, move cars or patio furniture so we can get close to the work site.
The faster we can access the area, the faster the job gets done.
3. Secure Kids & Pets
We love meeting your little ones (two-legged and four-legged), but tools, ladders, and moving parts aren’t safe for curious hands or paws. Have a plan to keep them in another room or outside while we work.
4. Have the Right Parts or Materials Ready (If Needed)
If you’ve already bought the faucet, light fixture, or shelves you want installed, have them out and ready.
If you’re unsure what to buy, ask your Daddy ahead of time. We can recommend what works best for your space and save you from returns.
5. Know Your Priorities
If time is tight or you’re on a budget, decide which jobs are most urgent. That way, we can tackle the most important ones first.
6. Share the Details
Got a gate code? A tricky lock? Neighbors who need a heads-up? The smoother the arrival, the more time we can spend getting things done instead of figuring out how to get in.
Why Prep Matters
In Shreveport, life moves fast and so do small home problems. Prepping for your handyman visit means:
Less time on the clock (you save money)
Less stress for you and your family
Better results because we can focus fully on the job
