Revealed! 5 things you should never do when dealing with artisans in Lagos

Dealing with artisans in Lagos can be likened to staking all your life savings in a casino in Las Vegas. You could win yes, but I think we both know that anyone who tries that is on a reallyyy long thing.

But why? Why does it seem difficult to hire skilled artisans? —Especially in Lagos. Who can one trust these days? Who does the vetting of these artisans? Who do you report to when plumber Agboola refuses to fix your kitchen sink after taking your money?

This one is too critical. Only JJC people don’t price anything. Now you don’t have to be ruthless like our mothers, but always bargain with any artisan you hire.

For a lot of reasons, it pays to not leave strangers in your home for too long.

In case someone goes to buy materials for the job and then decides to go from the market on a quick vacation, It pays to pay twice. Moreover, the concept is a normal business custom around the world.

when an artisan says ‘I’ll be there by 2’, chances are they’ll get to you by 4:45. The trick is stay in control and plan according to your schedule. So when you say be there by 2, they’re with you by 2:45. Not wrkman artisans though, they’ll be there by 1:55.

This serves both you and the artisan. Because we live in dangerous times now, things get expensive by the day.

It’s recommended to always know the price of materials and the price for wrkmanship. That way, you don’t get cheated on the price of materials, and the artisan gets their agreed upon price.

These points do seem like a handful to always take note of every time you have to deal with artisans. That’s why you have wrkman. We’ve done the heavy lifting for you by vetting every type of artisan on the app and sensitizing them on proper customer friendly practices.
