PSA: That 'handyman' I hired left me with a leaky roof
I hired a guy off Craigslist named Dave to patch a small leak near my chimney in the Northeast Heights. He quoted me $400 cash, said it'd be a quick fix. Spent a Saturday watching him smear some tar around, but he didn't even clean out the old debris first. Three weeks later, a monsoon came through and water was pouring into my living room, ruining part of the drywall. Called Dave back and he ghosted me, wouldn't pick up or text. Ended up paying a real roofer $900 to redo the whole section and fix the flashing too. Anyone else get burned by those cheap 'handyman' ads on Nextdoor or Craigslist?
