Don’t pick blind. Vet smart
Finding the right electrician, plumber, designer, caterer, interior decorator etc... in Lagos shouldn’t feel like gambling. Whether you’re using a directory search, Google business search, or even trying to locate one on google maps, having these 5 questions ready for them to answer will save you money, unnecessary worries, stress and failed deadlines:
1. Are you licensed + insured?
For trades like electrical work, plumbing, or construction, licensing matters. Insurance protects you if something goes wrong. If they hesitate, that’s your red flag.
2. Can I see recent work + reviews?
Photos and real customer reviews tell the real story. A good provider won’t shy away from showing both wins and how they handled complaints.
3. What’s included in your quote?
“Cheap” quotes often skip transport, materials, or after-service, and most importantly workmanship or labor. Ask for a written and detailed breakdown so you’re not surprised later.
4. What’s your timeline + backup plan?
Delays kill projects. Ask when they can start, how long it’ll take, and what happens if there’s any issues such as power outage, rain, or staff issue to mention a few
5. Do you offer any guarantee?
The best providers stand by their work. Even a 7-day guarantee on repairs shows confidence.
Pro tip: Use a verified business directory to shortlist providers who already show licenses, reviews, and contact info in one place. Less scrolling, more hiring.
