MyHammer Experiences - Who Has Found Craftsmen Through MyHammer?

Hmm, but it was like that from the beginning.

So, I don’t know if it helps, but I had two moves done via MyHammer. Once just the basement and attic including tools/machines, and once the entire household.
The first job was commissioned purely online and by phone. That was suboptimal. Despite advance pictures and exact descriptions, the company completely miscalculated and then started slacking off. In other words, they ended up damaging quite a bit because they also had the attitude that items from the attic or basement must be worthless anyway. Unfortunately, that was wrong. In the end, they had to pay back 30% of the already loss-making revenue directly to me for damage compensation.

The second time, we simply invited the companies that were interesting price-wise to come and see the apartment. In other words, we contacted the 5-10 best offers and then eliminated the first ones we found unsympathetic. Also, we eliminated all companies that did not want to see the situation on site.
That way, the companies could get a planning impression and we could get an impression of the company. You could immediately tell who knew what and who didn’t. And sympathy points should not be underestimated either.
The second move was super relaxed, super organized, and professional. And that at up to 200% below competitor prices.

I would do similar with craftsmen. Advertise, check the best offers, discuss live and then decide. Insurance questions etc. should of course be clarified in the process.

So far, I have searched for a craftsman on MyHammer three times and have been satisfied three times. In addition, we have saved a lot of money.

then I'll dig up the topic...

A long time ago, I booked a move - with similar experiences as @AleXSR790 :(

Then a print order 3 2x "interest", but two hadn't read the time requirement, and the 3rd didn't want to after all. In the end, found a cheap agency on site :)

Currently a 'tender' in the area of front yard - 6 initial inquiries, after further details 3 responded - and *one* came for an inspection, but that's not enough for comparison, especially since the price was too high for us, and he then wanted to do it unofficially - a pity :(

Conclusion: with the current "shortage of skilled workers," it certainly won't get easier...

I also had the feeling that there hasn't been as much activity on MyHammer for a long time as there used to be. Maybe it's also due to the region here, but I used to place orders through it more often. Nowadays, hardly anyone responds anymore.

We commissioned a small clearance through MyHammer again a year ago and were very satisfied. The price was right, and the job was done very quickly.

I think the days of myHammer & Co. are not over yet. In recent years, hardly any trade had to rely on such platforms. I once commissioned the demolition of a concrete base including disposal. In the end, the construction debris was on my trailer, which was attached to my car, as the contractor was not allowed to tow more than 2 tons with his Golf Variant and the good man didn’t even have a BE license. But we agreed on the price and spared my back by outsourcing the job. I think simpler tasks are well suited for this. For laying Carrara marble, however, it’s better to hire the local master craftsman.
