When should a handyman insist on a site visit before quoting?

Direct answer: Accurate estimates require site conditions, not assumptions.

Practical steps

  • Hidden conditions: Old homes and unknown materials.
  • Access issues: Tight spaces or occupied units.
  • Risk pricing: Unknowns cost money.

Next step: Make site visits mandatory for complex or older properties.
