And Why Verified Fundis on the Balozy App Make All the Difference
Whether you’re renovating a rental in Syokimau, fixing a leak in Kisumu, or installing tiles in Eldoret — finding a reliable fundi in Kenya can feel like a gamble. You want someone who shows up, does the job right, and respects your space. But too often, referrals go wrong, WhatsApp numbers disappear, and the work ends up half-done.
That’s why thousands of Kenyans are turning to the Balozy App — to find verified local pros for everything from plumbing to electrical work, flooring, and masonry.
🏡 Why These Services Matter in Kenya
In Kenya, your home or business is more than just a building — it’s your investment, your comfort, your pride. Whether it’s a mabati house, a stone bungalow, or a commercial shopfront, the finishing and maintenance work defines your space.
Great fundis help you:
- ✅ Fix leaks, wiring, and cracks before they become disasters
- ✅ Install tiles, sockets, and plumbing with precision
- ✅ Save money by doing it right the first time
- ✅ Keep your space safe, clean, and functional
- ✅ Add value to your property
Bad fundis? They leave you with broken tiles, exposed wires, and endless stress.
✅ What to Look for in a Fundi in Kenya
Before hiring anyone, ask yourself:
1. Are They Verified and Experienced?
- Look for fundis with 3+ years of experience in your specific task
- Ask for photos of past work and client reviews
2. Do They Specialize in Your Service?
- Some fundis are great at flooring, others at plumbing, electrical, or masonry
- Ask what they do best — and what they don’t
3. Do They Communicate Clearly?
- Confirm scope, pricing, and timeline
- Ask for a written quote or invoice
4. Do They Bring the Right Tools?
- Great fundis come with tile cutters, voltage testers, plumbing kits, and safety gear
- Ask what they’ll bring and what you need to provide
5. Do They Prioritize Safety and Clean Work?
- Look for fundis who wear gloves, goggles, and clean up after themselves
- Ask about safety protocols and site etiquette
🚩 Red Flags to Avoid
- No reviews or references
- Vague pricing or verbal-only quotes
- No tools or protective gear
- Overpromising (“I’ll tile your 3-bedroom in 2 hours!”)
- No backup plan for delays or material shortages
