Handyman Referral Program

 
 

Are you a homeowner or small community focused nonprofit in the greater New Orleans area? Do you have a minor home/facility maintenance, repair or remodeling project? Would you like a free inspection, estimate, and help finding someone to do the work?

How it works:

Application

After you apply, an intake staff member will contact you to determine if we are able to provide referral services. If so, we will schedule an onsite assessment.

Inspection

On the day of your assessment, our inspector will come and look the problem over. If the job falls within the scope of a handyman, we will describe the work and materials typically required, and estimate how much the job might cost.

We cannot provide estimates for work requiring a licensed contractor or other licensed member of a trade (plumbers, etc.)  At this time, we do not maintain a database of licensed contractors or licensed tradespeople.

Referral

Once you understand everything, and you want to continue, we will begin the referral process and attempt to connect you with someone who can do the work.

Acceptance into our referral program does not guarantee that your project will be completed.

Disclaimers

This is a free service:

You are not hiring Swift Hands Collaborative in any capacity. All we are offering is to help you find someone to fix your house or nonprofit facility.
