Hey guys!
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I just got my first place recently and had some questions about finding good tradespeople for renovations that I want to do. I've never had to hire anyone before, so not quite sure what the best option would be.
There's nothing too major that needs done to the place at the moment - there's a live wire that needs fixing ASAP that will obviously need an electrician, and a wall that's been water damaged that will need a builder, and we were going to get them each to do a few other things while they're out to save on call out fee (like installing some lights/fans, putting more power points in etc), but I'm not sure what the best way to find said tradespeople is. Of course there's sites like Airtasker/hipages, but having never used them before - are they reliable? Like if something goes wrong, or if there's more work that needs to get added on etc? Or would I be better off just googling around and calling some of the better rated electricians/builders etc until I find one I'm happy with, and ignore sites like Airtasker all together? I'm in South Brisbane area if it makes a difference.
Thanks in advanced!
