Here are some key factors to consider when making your decision.

Check Credentials and Verification

Always look for fundis who have completed Fundi Link's verification process. Verified fundis have undergone background checks and credential verification, giving you peace of mind.

Read Reviews and Ratings

Take time to read through reviews from previous clients. Look for patterns in feedback - are clients consistently satisfied? Do they mention punctuality, quality of work, and professionalism?

Review Portfolios

A picture is worth a thousand words. Browse through the fundi's portfolio to see examples of their previous work. This will help you assess their style and quality.

Compare Quotes

While price shouldn't be the only factor, it's important to compare quotes from multiple fundis. Remember that the cheapest option isn't always the best value.

Communicate Clearly

Use the in-app messaging feature to discuss your project in detail before hiring. A good fundi will ask questions and provide clear answers about timelines, materials, and expectations.
