Handyman Services (General Maintenance)
Critical Considerations: Handyman Services (General Maintenance)
As a business or franchise owner, you are always juggling dozens of different parts of your business at once. From facilities management, to HR, to inventory and more, keeping your business running and customers happy is a big job!
The last thing you need is an unexpected facilities problem slowing you down. Those big headaches can be costly, not only in materials and labor, but the lost business and slowed productivity they inevitably cause. This is just one of the reasons that you need a qualified, comprehensive facilities management partner like us in your corner.
​
Small things – a chipped plate, slightly malfunctioning air conditioning, obvious wear and tear on furniture – can leave a negative impression on customers in industries where experience is paramount. When you have a facilities management plan in place, these small things can be fixed by professional handymen before they even become an issue. This not only saves you money in the long run by preventing major problems from developing, but makes sure that your customers have the best experience every time.
What problems can a handyman fix?
Small headaches can cause big problems. A leaky bathroom sink can mean thousands of dollars in wasted utilities if left unchecked. A faulty outlet can pose an enormous risk of fire for your business. These are jobs that a handyman is perfectly suited to resolve quickly and efficiently.​
​
Handyman services often cover a wide range of needs that are common to all types of businesses, from commercial retail and grocery stores to restaurants and convenience. Carpentry and other physical repairs are common. These might include fixing cracked door and window framing; repairing chips in concrete, laminate, and tile floors; replacing door handles or other hardware; fixing tables and chairs, and more.
​
Small electrical jobs are also common for commercial handyman services. This might be as simple as replacing lightbulbs when you don’t have time, but could also include services like fixing faulty outlets, repairing and replacing old or damaged wiring, or fixing heating and air conditioning controls so that you can keep your customers comfortable.​
Why do I need to include commercial handyman services in my facilities management plan?
Handyman service providers often have training in plumbing, electrical, carpentry, flooring, small appliance repairs, and more, so that they can solve a wide variety of problems.
​
In fact, this allows them to deliver consistent, top-quality repair services to your business every time, without needing to waste time and money trying to coordinate multiple independent specialist contractors. For national and regional retail, restaurant, grocery, and convenience chains, having a centralized facilities management partner for handyman services can multiply your savings exponentially, no matter what comes up at your business locations.
