Hiring a handyman is one of the smartest ways to tackle the small but important tasks that pile up over time — like drywall repair, replacing fixtures, or touching up paint. But many homeowners aren’t sure how to plan for a handyman visit, which leads to missed opportunities or underutilized time. At Sensat Construction, we offer professional handyman services designed to make your home safer, cleaner, and more functional. Here’s how to make the most of your appointment.
Prepare a Prioritized List
Before your scheduled visit, walk through your home and take note of anything that needs attention. Stick doors, dripping faucets, loose cabinet hinges, holes in drywall — if it bothers you, write it down. Group similar items together (interior paint touch-ups, electrical, carpentry) so your handyman can move efficiently between tasks. A prioritized list ensures the most important work gets done first and helps us give you an accurate time and cost estimate before we begin.
Clear the Work Areas
One of the easiest ways to save time — and get more done — is to make the workspace accessible. If we’re repairing drywall in your living room, move furniture or wall décor beforehand if possible. For exterior tasks, unlocking gates or clearing debris helps our team get straight to work without delays. While we’re happy to help prep a space, minimizing obstacles means more work gets completed during your visit.
Be Realistic About Time
A common misconception is that a handyman can tackle ten unrelated jobs in one hour — but even smaller tasks take time when done properly. Installing a ceiling fan correctly, patching drywall, or adjusting a door often requires tools, cleanup, and careful alignment. When we quote time estimates, we factor in quality — so you’re not left with rushed or incomplete work.
Ask for Recommendations
Not sure what’s worth fixing or upgrading? Ask your handyman. We’re not just there to do what’s on your list — we’re also happy to walk through your space and point out preventative maintenance opportunities or quick upgrades that could make your home more functional. Sensat’s team regularly advises homeowners on trim replacements, insulation issues, and minor fixture upgrades that improve both comfort and resale value.
Keep a Recurring List
For many homeowners, one visit is just the beginning. Keeping a “running list” of future repairs can help you plan your next visit more efficiently — and save money by bundling tasks together. Clients often book seasonal visits to handle gutters, fence repairs, and weather-related prep work in one go. It’s a smart way to stay ahead of wear and tear before it becomes a bigger problem.
