I thought handy was great until I learned that only $80 of the $200+ I spent having a local person come clean my house for 4 hours went to the actual worker. These folks are 1099 so that aren't making close to anything after taxes and are not receiving any benefits. Here I thought I was helping an independent worker out just to find out that I was terribly wrong.
So here's my tip, use handy once or twice until you find the person you like. Cut a deal with them and take Handy out of the equation.
