Swollen doors, attic access, and outdoor fixtures that the sun has ruined are the ordinary calls. Leak staining and swollen trim show up after rain. Say you will not open a wall that needs a plumber or a roofer.

Can I claim a ServiceBase profile for my handyman company?
If ServiceBase already has a public page for the company and you can prove you own it, claim it. The check is a link emailed to the address on the listing or to an address on that company's domain. If you cannot reach those inboxes, the request goes to a review queue. A verified claim attaches the page to your account. The $500 advertising credit is the same starting grant as a new signup: once per business and once per person. It is not cash, nothing is charged, and a person who already received the signup grant does not get a second $500.
