With my husband overseas and two young children who both need the lion’s share of my attention, taking time out to find someone to fix or clean my home when I need them isn’t exactly high priority. Normally I’d start asking friends who they used, then I’d hit up the BBB, and then the internet for reviews… very time consuming. Trust me, I’ve done it lots of times!
Recently I had the opportunity to review a new service that is aimed to save time and deliver all the background information right to your fingertips!
Redbeacon is the one stop shop to find the best rated professionals in your area. Whether you need a bug guy (we did), or lawn maintenance (we needed that too!), a house keeper (occasionally I need those to, usually when my mother comes to visit), or a simple handyman (only needed when my handy husband isn’t available) Redbeacon can help you find trusted professionals complete with reviews right there!
Check out how Redbeacon works!
Recently I tried to move Baby D in to his nursery. However, in that small room it became apparent I needed to get a fan installed pretty quickly. While I was at the fan store, I saw a great deal on two light fixtures that I have been wanting to replace in my living room and the playroom formerly known as a dining room. We have brushed nickle light fixtures everywhere our home except those two rooms where the builders gave this home gold fixtures. This sale was the perfect excuse to have them replaced. Now I had a fan and two light fixtures that needed to be installed, but no electrician!
I headed over to Redbeacon and put in my request. Creating a profile and putting in my request took less than 10 minutes! Within the day I had 4 professional responses bidding for my service. After going over the four pro’s profiles I was able to pick one that I liked with a good price and great reviews. A few days later I had new light fixtures and a new ceiling fan! (See ya later 80s style gold lights!) If I had been doing all the leg work by hand I may have still be looking over reviews online!
Next time I need something I’m forgetting the idea of DIY and I’m turning to Redbeacon to DIFM or “do it for me”!

Very nice! Good to know they offer services n the SF Bay Area too! I’m sure I will need their services in the future!
i have never heard of this company before but im glad you shared about it thank you!
What a great idea. I love this concept. I know many single moms & moms that have spouses deployed that could really use this service. Will definitely pass the info along. Thank you for sharing.
How awesome! I’ve never heard about it before!
Oh cool, never heard of them but I often need to find someone for repairs around the house, etc.
What an awesome service! I wish they were available in the Salt Lake area!
How cool is that? I’ve never heard of anything like that either! It looks great!
It was! I was so impressed with how easy it was – and I need it easy!
Very neat – I like resources like that. When we moved to Dallas we signed up for Angie’s List for the same purpose and it’s been really good for us so far.
Love the new fixtures!!
I consider myself pretty handy, but some projects are just not DIY & it is best to know your personal limits & call in an expert when you come to that point.
I love your new look; I’m the least handy person I know.
I have never heard of Redbeacan before! We need to install lighting and a ceiling fan in a room that does not have it. I need to look into them.
Sounds like a wonderful service! I’d love to have some new fixtures, so I’ll definitely check them out!
I LOVE this!!! I need to try out this service for things when they come up
Since neither the hubby or I are very handy, services like this really come in handy.
