For those of you who work with handymen to help with minor repairs at your properties: 

How did you find them?

How do you evaluate them? What do you look for?

And for my fellow Chicago BPers, any local handymen you would recommend? (I'm in Irving Park.)

@Danny Duran Congrats on your first contract!

@Steven Hamilton II haven't you successfully dealt with a pretty serious mold issue on a rehab?

@Masroor Ahmed  Do the tenants pay for their own heat, or is the entire building on a single boiler? That's a huge factor in Chicago utilities expenses.
