FAQ
When is the right moment to hire a handyman
There is no "right time" to hire a handyman. All you need is to get going as soon and as quickly as possible. You can save money by waiting until after the holidays. But you could also just pick up the phone and call around to different handymen.
Where did handymen originate?
There are thousands and thousands of handymen throughout the U.S. But almost none of them started their career as contractors. Most of them started out as a tradesman. They learned the craft through apprenticeships. As a result, they often possess great skill sets and a wealth of knowledge, which makes them very valuable assets to any company.
What's the time taken by a handyman for a project to be completed?
It all depends upon the size of your project. Larger projects usually take more time to complete. A handyman can usually finish a project in one week, regardless of its size.

How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
When installing any type of electrical outlet, you should always follow the guidelines your local building inspector set forth. This includes making sure that the wiring is correctly installed and that there aren't any fire hazards or water damage.
Most boxes are prewired and have four wires from the breaker panel. The box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting wires together, you must ensure that the wire nuts and wire wraps are not used. If you do this, it will be difficult for the wires not to stick in their place once they are tightened. You want them to be free enough to move around but still tight enough not to pull from their holes.
If you want to add receptacle to an already existing box, you might need to consider adding another piece of hardware. You'll need to take off the top of your existing metal box, and then add a cover plate. After you have made the hole for your new receptacle, and attached the coverplate, you will need to connect all wires to your new receptacle.
You might be able to replace your existing light switches with modern ones by yourself. You will first need to remove the old switch and its mounting place. You should then disconnect all wires from the switch. These wires are the ones that supply power to the switch as well as the ones that supply electricity for the lights in the area where it is located. After everything has been disconnected, it's time to begin the procedure of replacement.
After you remove the old switch, measure how far the wall studs are from your new switch and mark them using a permanent marker. Once you have measured the distance between wall studs and marked them with permanent markers, you can determine whether the new switch must be mounted high above the floor or below it. Depending upon the height of the switch, you'll need to drill a hole to mount the bracket or attach it directly to drywall using drywall anchors.
Once measurements have been taken, and the locations are marked up you can start the job. Begin tearing down the drywall in the area where you want to install the switch. To avoid accidentally cutting the cable in the wall, leave 8 inches between each stud. Next, mount the new switch using appropriate mounting brackets. Attach the cables to your switch and then secure it onto the mounting plates. Once the switch has been fully installed, you will need to turn the power back on and test the newly added device to ensure it works properly.
