Description

It would be wise to solicit recommendations from friends – even keeping a running list.

Dear Eric: Read your excellent advice to “Mrs. Fix-It,” whose husband wasn’t handy but would have meltdowns every time she called a repairperson. I would hazard a guess that perhaps her husband also is concerned about costs (even if money is not a problem) and being taken advantage of by unscrupulous repairmen.
