How do I hire a handyman or someone for repairs by the day?
I need several minor repairs in the apartment (painting, leaks, shelves). How do you find someone reliable and how much is paid?

For minor repairs, the usual thing is to hire a handyman by the day worked (the daily wage varies according to city and complexity — agree on it before starting, with materials separate) or by a flat fee if it is a specific job. How to find someone reliable: ask for references at the front desk or administration of the complex (the handymen who already work in the building are the most recommended), ask in neighborhood groups, or look in the services and daily help section of Colombia Move: https://colombiamove.com/necesito-ayuda — there they post handymen, daily cleaning services, and trades with direct contact. For electrical or gas work, better someone certified.
by recommendation of neighbors, in local Facebook or WhatsApp groups, or through service platforms. Before hiring, ask for references, request a written estimate, and agree on the price before starting the work. The cost depends on the type of repair and the city, but many charge by the day or per completed job.
