What do professionally executed craft services cost at the Helferei ?

For jobs that require professional execution, such as laying floors and tiles, or painting and electrical work, we collaborate with qualified partner companies and subcontractors.

In some cases, such as standard jobs like connecting an oven/stove or certain painting work, they can provide a price estimate beforehand. However, they usually come to your home first for a free on-site consultation. Afterwards, you'll receive a fixed-price quote, including all the details of how it's calculated. Only if you accept this quote will the contract be finalized.

We strive to estimate the final amount as accurately as possible in our quotes. However, we ask for your understanding that in the trades, it's sometimes impossible to predict every detail precisely. There have also been instances where the final invoice differed from the quoted amount. Transparent communication directly with the tradesperson before invoicing is therefore crucial.

What special considerations do I need to keep in mind when booking a qualified tradesperson?

Please note the following: Especially in the trades, communicating as many details as possible benefits the quality of the result of a job – for example:

  • Mass
  • materials
  • Available aids / tools
  • Photos attached

Such information is not only incredibly helpful when selecting suitable helpers. Certain helpers might accept or decline your request precisely because they (don't) have the necessary tools.

Above all, this information serves to ensure the proper preparation and smooth execution of your order.

Therefore, please use the comment field in our online booking system to ensure your order is forwarded to the appropriate person.

How can I be sure that I will find the right, qualified specialist for my project in the skilled and certified crafts?

Three points are particularly important to us at Helferei to ensure a good fit between you and the helpers in carpentry:

Proven skills & qualifications: For jobs that require a professional (e.g., painting, flooring, electrical work), we only work with subcontractors and partner companies. Especially in the trades and for interior work requiring specialized expertise, we prioritize proven knowledge and experience. We verify this for all helpers and ask for further details in a phone call before activating their profiles on our platform. More information can be found in our Terms of Use .

Availability in terms of time and location: In addition to technical skills, availability is another important factor in the trades, both in terms of time and location. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule and any urgent needs. We understand how difficult it can be to find support in the trades.

Are the services in the skilled trades sector covered by the Helferei insured?

As described, we work in this area with partner companies and subcontractors.

The Helferei We act solely as an intermediary. Therefore, our tradespeople are responsible for complying with all relevant safety and insurance precautions for each job. For particularly complex jobs or very valuable items, we recommend checking with the respective tradespeople to ensure they have the necessary insurance coverage. This is usually the case, as the tradespeople typically have relevant insurance policies for their own businesses.

You can find out more about this and our disclaimer in our terms and conditions .

Do the handymen bring their own tools and equipment?

Our partner companies and subcontractors in the trades are of course equipped with the standard tools and aids for regular orders.

However, when it comes to the specific requirements of your project (who will provide the materials, who will handle certain preparatory tasks such as masking before painting, priming before laying flooring, etc.), it is very important that you communicate transparently with your helpers beforehand. This way, everyone is optimally prepared and your project can be completed to everyone's complete satisfaction without any surprises.

What do I do if I am not satisfied with the result of a carpentry order?

 There are two possibilities here:

  • Agreement between you and the tradespeople: Either you reach an agreement directly with the tradesperson regarding any necessary repairs immediately after the job is completed. Incidentally, a possible and fair adjustment to the invoice amount can be part of this agreement. You would simply need to communicate this to the tradesperson. Helferei communicate.
  • The Helferei will mediate a fair solution: If that doesn't work, you can contact them at any time by email. Helferei We support both sides in finding a fair solution. Write to our customer service: support@die-helferei.de

A small but important tip: Especially in the trades, we can't stress enough how crucial communication is between you and your helpers before the job even starts. Don't hesitate to address all relevant details and open questions beforehand – there are no stupid questions! Experience shows that this greatly benefits everyone's satisfaction. At the very latest, you should clarify any discrepancies or misunderstandings before invoicing.
