1. Write the job like a loading dock note
Floor, elevator, parking, tools on site, and whether the box is already open. Vague “need help this afternoon” listings attract the widest, least useful quotes.

The hour before you tap anything
2. Compare time, not just the hourly number
A $50 hour that becomes three hours is not cheaper than a $70 hour that finishes in one. Ask what happens if the hardware is missing.
3. Confirm the wall or the stairs in writing
TV mounts and walk-up moves produce the most surprise invoices. A one-line confirmation saves a Saturday argument.
4. Keep payment on the official channel
This site never asks for a card. If a helper wants cash off-platform for a first visit, that is a separate risk, not a review score.
