Angi Services for Pc

Been doing this for a couple months now. I’ve had a few issues while learning the finer intricacies of the job. But they are pretty good to me and somewhat understanding most of the time when I do something wrong, a customer has an issue or the application has a small bug. It was easy to get hired, took a few days. Rarely do you need to even talk to anyone. And when you do it’s usually through emails and texts. You can do any number of handyman work for money. Cleaning, repair, assembling furniture, lawn work, painting, etc. just choose the jobs that suit you best. Sometimes you don’t get enough information on the jobs you sign up for, they could be labeled wrong, or the customer could be trying to trick extra work out of you for low low rates. This it can make going into a job blind very stressful, but what can you do? Most of the time everyone is super nice. I have a few ideas for how this application could be much more effective and profitable, but unfortunately I know not what to do with my suggestions.

It’s a constant battle between customers and the app. They will always take the customers side and fine you $50+ then you have to email them and dispute the issue. They don’t have a phone number for pros but have one for customers. Example is recently a customer didn’t show up at the appointed time so I marked it a no show and got paid and went on my way. Then 30 minutes down the road they call me and begged me to come back telling me every sob story in the book. So here I am going above and beyond I turned around and did a variety of tasks for the customer In the allotted time that I was given. I told the customer she lost an hour because I already was here and she didn’t show up and I had other appointments after hers so I couldn’t stay later. I even hauled bulk waste from her house to make the customer happy which wasn’t in the job order. She complained I didn’t show up on time after I left and now I’m down 50 bucks off a $75 job. It’s been 4 days and no reply from the app. I have a bunch of other instances where a cheap-o customer rips off the app and therefore rips off the tech. Good news is I made $3000 last month working 6 days a week. Definitely not a solid job. Both the app and the customer expect you to be a miracle worker. Good Luck!

Loving the app so far. One week in and all the clients have been nice and the work requested has been solid pay out. One thing that needs to be addressed, is an error with jobs requiring 2 Pros and only 1 Pro showing up. This has happened to me one both sides. I was 10 minutes tardy to showing up to a job (I know) and the Pro I was supposed to be working along side of was already finished. It was a relatively small job that honestly didn’t require 2 people to begin with, but I digress. None the less I got paid (not proud of getting paid for work I didn’t do…) My most recent job involved a light fixture install, that was more time consuming than anything because of the design of the fixture needing to be decorated. The pay out was about $150 per pro. So if this is the case I did all the work and get half the money?…. This needs to get fixed ASAP. I suggest the absent pro gets audited or the pro that did all the work collects both bounties so to speak. IDK. This could be big potential problem for both Pros and clients alike. Seeing as less pros might not accept 2 pro jobs and client satisfaction might suffer when only 1 pro is present on a 2 pro job.

Handy does not have any support available for their pro’s. They charge have charged me multiple fees that I cannot get in touch with anybody to dispute. They have charged me for completing a job early which I think is absolutely ridiculous. I have multiple 5 star ratings and I have multiple repeat customers but yet I get charged for being efficient? I have had customers that forgot about their cleaning call into handy and report me as a no show even after reached out to my customer multiple times explaining how to reschedule their cleaning. Handy does not have an option for the pro to reschedule a job, it is solely up to the customer. They charge our customers 3 times what they pay us, and they do not give any pictures or real description of the property. If you show up to a property and the customer lied on the application ( this has happened 4 times) by reporting their home smaller than it is, you get charged for not doing the property and there is no way to inform handy of this. All of this during a pandemic where people need their homes cleaned and sanitized to stay free of harmful bacteria. All of this while those of us working hard to survive can’t afford to lose money on the jobs you are barely paying us for in the first place. Bad business, I do not recommend working for or with handy at all.
