Technician Qualifications

Finding a qualified handy man for maintenance projects around the house or for your business has always been a challenge. When you do find someone, there's no way to check their background, or to know how well they will do the repair work, or if they will be around later if something goes wrong.

Mr. Handyman of Atlanta solves this problem for you. Our technicians are full time employees. Before they are hired, we check the quality of their work, their background, and their references. If there's ever a problem after they leave, you can call one of our four metro Atlanta offices and we'll resolve the issue promptly.
