Where to find a handyman for some repairs on a house I tried searching this subreddit and craigslist but wasn't able to find any solid leads.
Basically a rundown of what I need done is to repair my garage door which is split on the bottom from being backed into. Also damage to a lattice fence in the same vicinity. Both are wooden and I would assume would be easier to have one person work on both rather than hiring separate companies for each.
As for inside the house I have a chair that needs to be hung from the ceiling If at all possible. It is an older house so I need someone to evaluate if the support beams would be able to carry that weight. If so I'd also need it installed.
Any recommendations on companies or independent workers would be much appreciated. Not sure if this is a job for a general "handyman" or if I would need a specialty carpenter or garage door company.
Does anyone have an electrician recommendation? Thanks!

Hillary I am trying a new company "serviz.com". They are trying to offer "Home services on demand". They have an office in my building and gave me a code for $50 off. I booked an electrician for Wednesday afternoon and I'll let you know how it goes. If it goes well, I can have a promotional code for you too. My work "neighbor" (In UTC area) claims that their prices are really low because they are trying to launch the company and get the word out. I'll find out more about their vetting process or lack thereof. Keep you posted.

You could also try www.serviz.com. It's a startup some local people developed that helps streamline connecting services (like plumbing) to people in need.
