Currently a "Handy Pro". As an independent contractor use this service at your own risk. Handy is in partnership with HomeAdvisor, Wayfair and Angies List. A round robin of unethical business practices. Do not pay for assembly by Handy on Wayfair. Basically it's all the same company using bots and response templates. A series of apps, marketing and technical algorithms to detach money from the unsuspecting. The "pro" will generally have no idea how to install your gazebo or mount your TV. We generally are not provided details on makes or models of customers items.
As an actual professional contractor I signed up to augment my business and obtain new customers.

They use a flat rate model to entice customers into thinking they are getting a deal. So for example charging a customer $600 to paint an entire 2,000 sq ft home and hiring one independent contractor for 5 hours at $225. That's a real example. If it sounds to good to be true it is. Most people are looking for a bargain and if you use Handy you might find it... or you mind wind up having to pay a real electrician or plumber to fix the mess a Handy Pro made.

If you are a pro do not pay out of pocket for anything unless the customer agrees to reimburse you directly. Handy will NEVER reimburse you... ever.

The naive, cheap and malicious folks are what make this service work. One customer actually thinks they can get a driveway installed poured concrete for $500 in 32 degree weather...

Be wary all the negative reviews are real.
