WORK ORDER / HOW IT RUNS

Organized like a project.
Human like a neighbor.

Good handyman work is more than showing up with tools. It is understanding the whole request, making the tradeoffs visible, and leaving a useful record behind.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / EACH WORKDAYPhotos at day’s end. A clear progress text each night.

FIELD NOTES / COMMON QUESTIONS

Plain answers before the first visit.

Service boundaries, rates, and membership terms should be easy to find—not discovered after the work.

01How will Miguel keep me updated during the work?

At the end of each workday, Miguel sends photos of the work completed that day and a concise text summary covering completed work, current status, open items, and next steps. The update reflects work he has verified, creating accountability and keeping communication clear.

02What can Miguel handle when winterizing my home?

Winterization can include window repairs and sealing doors and windows where needed, storing or covering outdoor furniture and planters, inspecting the roof and gutters, cleaning and preparing the garage, basic furnace and air-conditioner operational checks, and available snow removal and salting. Miguel confirms the property fit and scope before work; larger or licensed-trade repairs are discussed first.

03What does the membership actually cover?

Membership creates a house account with a preventive-maintenance list, priority response, a plan-specific labor rate, saved property context, and one request channel. Materials and labor are billed separately unless a benefit specifically says otherwise.

04How does preventive maintenance work?

Every plan keeps preventive maintenance visible instead of waiting for a repair. Property Partner adds hands-on management of seasonal setup and routine filter and light-bulb changes. You pay for supplies, and Miguel discusses any larger project with you before using a proposal or time-and-material billing.

05Can I hire JackofAllTrade.ai without joining?

Yes. Nonmember time-and-material work launches at $100 per hour with a 90-minute minimum. A $49 core-zone trip and diagnostic fee is credited when work is approved during the visit.

06Does priority mean guaranteed same-day arrival?

No. Response times mean acknowledgement and triage, not a guaranteed arrival. Priority members receive the first practical opening, often the same or next business day, subject to scope and location.

07What work is outside the service scope?

Work requiring a separately licensed trade, structural engineering, hazardous-material handling, major roofing, and other high-risk specialties will be referred out rather than improvised.

08Do you supply materials?

Yes. Supplied materials are itemized with a transparent 10% procurement markup. You may also supply a store account or payment method; a sourcing trip is shown separately when needed.

09¿Miguel habla español?

Sí. Miguel ofrece servicio bilingüe en inglés y español. Indíquelo en la solicitud y puede continuar la conversación en español.
