Small jobs at home: what services can be entrusted to a professional?
Fixing, assembly, touch-ups, joints, small repairs: the small jobs to entrust to a professional.
To remember
- Grouping several small tasks together can save time.
- Indicate whether or not materials are provided.
- A larger project must go through an estimate.
The most common services
Small jobs are often put off because they seem simple, but sometimes they require the right tools, time and a precise gesture. Consolidating them into a single request can be effective.
- Attach a shelf, rod, mirror or TV stand.
- Assemble a piece of furniture, adjust a door or change a handle.
- Do a paint touch-up, redo a joint or repair a small breakage.
How to group them into an application
List each task, add the useful dimensions and indicate if you have the material. If the service provider needs to bring dowels, screws, paint or silicone, they must know this before coming.
When the odd job becomes a project
If the small jobs become a complete construction site, for example repainting several rooms or redoing an installation, switch to a request for a quote.
