Finding a reliable tradesman is a must
If you need a job doing around the house, or are planning on buying or selling a property, there is a good chance that you will need to find a reliable tradesman or good local business to help you, and one of the best places to look is a local directory. However, with the vast amount of local directories available, it can be difficult to know which one to use. There are three different types of local business directory, and the differences between them are explained here.
Finding a reliable tradesman using general listings
This type of business directory will list any tradie or local business regardless of their reputation or work ethic. You can find almost any type of tradesmen in these directories including painters, plumbers, builders, electricians, pest control, roofers, carpenters, general handymen, and more. You can also find an extensive listing of other local businesses including real estate agents, conveyancers, home inspectors, and even mortgage brokers. However, there is not usually much information about each business, making it hard to know who is reliable, who is honest, and who is a shonky cowboy without going through the listings and talking to each one.
Finding a reliable tradesman using user review directories
A slightly better type of local business directory to use when trying to find the best local business for your specific needs is a directory that allows previous customers to write a review, referral, or recommendation. Using this type of directory, it is easy to see if someone has had a great experience with a local business, or a bad one. This can save you time and energy when deciding on the best tradie for your needs as you can choose to only call the ones with the best user ratings and reviews.
Finding a reliable tradesman using a new type of business directory
The third type of business directory is a relative newcomer but a fantastic way to find a local business that is an ideal fit for you. This type of directory only lists a few of the very best tradies and other local businesses in a number of different fields. In order for a business to be listed, it has to be recommended by a trusted source, and then interviewed and vetted by someone from the directory.
When you use this type of directory, you tell them what you are looking for, and you are then matched with suitable tradies or local businesses, sometimes you may only be matched with one or two, but that is because all of the legwork, research, and homework about the businesses has already been done for you.
