Remember those funny movies where a dripping faucet drives the man crazy when he is trying to sleep at night? Or the "home improving" husband who makes that wobbly bookcase and the whole library tips over?

Well, they are not funny in real life- especially if you are at the receiving end.

Whether you are having a new home or office built, trying to maintain an existing one or improving on what is already there, plumbing and carpentry are two of the most important areas that you need to take great care of.

If your thoughts are in a whirl over plumbers, carpenters and generally all things that are technically needed to make a building a home or an office, let us help you with a few focal points.

Hope does not triumph over experience where skilled work is concerned.

When you are looking to hiring a plumbing or carpentry service, you cannot just hope for the best; an experienced hand is what you need to be looking for. Experienced workmen will zero in on a problem quickly and know how to deal with it in the best possible way. They will know the best place to source materials from keeping in mind quality, durability and price.

Even small jobs like repairing a blocked drain or a stuck door need experienced hands. Larger companies have a whole stable of experienced carpenters, plumbers and other professional workers with proven track records. They are the better choice in providing you with the skilled work required and could guide your choices.

Skill is all important when you work with your hands.

Though experience and practice enhance skill, it is sometimes an inborn trait and not all carpenters and plumbers are created equal. We only pick the best of the best. This way, there is no trial and no error and you choose the right person for the job. We put the "art" in artisan.

Get an estimate, but do not let only price/cost be the single determining factor.

Though cost is an important consideration, cheapest is not necessarily the best. Get at least three estimates from different individuals or services so that you can compare and have an idea of what the work is going to cost you. Be aware that there are service providers who will exploit an emergency situation and charge you extra.

An added advantage to knowing what a plumber or carpenter will cost you is that you can make a more informed choice in the future too and decide from a position of knowledge. At all costs, you need to avoid those very low estimates which might simply mean that you are contracting for cheap, inferior parts and labour. Let us at Jugaad save you these moments of doubt and worry by providing you with the most reasonable of the best of carpentry and plumbing services.

Get References before you start your search for a suitable workman.

Especially if the job is a large one. This would probably be from your immediate social circle of family, friends or colleagues. You can also check online. The carpenter or plumber or the agency

which provides such services could also cite references. Following up on these may also give you some idea of the quality of work to expect.

Check the credentials of the person or agency that you are hiring.

A licensed plumber or carpenter is an added advantage as are insured workmen.Insurance will cover any mishap that might take place during the course of work which you might otherwise be liable for.

Written agreements covering work and payments are a must for big plumbing or carpentry works.

This should include a description of the work, materials to be used, cost of materials and labour and the time schedule. It should also clearly state the agreed on payment schedule and the mode of payment especially for big work. Payments should be staggered according to the work done. For small repair jobs, payments should probably be made once the job is completed. Do not make an advance payment if you can avoid it. Never make the final payment till you are satisfied with what has been done. Ensure that you have a copy of this signed agreement.

Set a time schedule.

Time is a precious commodity. Would you like to wait endlessly for that kitchen sink to stop leaking or for that stuck door to open? Make sure at what time the handyman will arrive, how long the work will take and that the person you employed will see the job to its completion. Nothing is worse than a half finished job.

Try a sample if the job is a big one before you make a choice.

For example, before you get a carpenter to make all the wardrobes, you can ask him to make you a small coffee table and get an idea of his workmanship.

If you find all this too confusing and feel that there are too many imponderables. Our carpenters and plumbers are not only of the highest skill but of the greatest reliability. Our pricing policy is upfront.

Just shed your doubts and inconveniences.Open your doors to a professional home improvement and wave your troubles and doubts goodbye.

We are at your service...anytime!
