Feature Article
Quality and Workmanship: Traits a Handy Professional Should Have
Quality and Workmanship is a combination of attributes that combine to make a good worker. Workmanship is a valued human attribute that serves people well when they're on the job. Look at these traits of a person who provides quality workmanship.
Dedication.
An ideal handyman or handywoman professional cares about the job and shows this in various ways, from showing up on time to always going the extra mile to get the job done right. Maintain a positive attitude throughout every project, from the first day you meet the customer until the job is complete. Make it a point to understand the customer and their needs.
Willingness to learn.
Someone who displays quality workmanship doesn't have to know everything, but does show that he strives to keep learning more. It's important to be humble enough to be open to learning opportunities and take any steps needed to improve your performance on the job. A commitment to excellence creates better services - ones that stand out over your competitors.
Detail-oriented.
To provide quality workmanship, you must pay close attention to detail and have a passion to get things right. It's not always important to be fast - getting things done more quickly but delivering a sloppy finished product won't make anyone happy.
Creativity.
The ability to think creatively and possess autonomy are invaluable traits that lead to new ideas and can help you gain more business. If you're working on wainscoting or building something for your customers, they may know just what they want you to do. Alternately, they may be open to your suggestions about what is the most practical or what you see a trend in and want you to weigh in.
Through your dedication, willingness to learn and attention to detail, you can provide the highest quality of workmanship to all your customers. Also, show folks you're an active member of ACHP to help expand your business value.

Instant Proof of Insurance.
The ACHP Insurance Program is excited to introduce Live Certificate of insurance, a feature designed to give ACHP Next Insurance policyholders instant, shareable, proof of insurance (see image below). Next Insurance customers can now quickly and easily access an online Live Certificate. They can then email it or share a link with anyone they like as verifiable proof of an active insurance policy. The Live Certificate enables entrepreneurs to optimize their work, spending more time focused on their business, and less time on managing certificates of insurance.
How? Instantly share that policy with anyone you'd like (log into your account, and share your certificate of insurance via email or with a unique link). This then lets a homeowner or anyone else view a "live" version of their certificate of insurance.
