Marketplace, CBC – “When the Repairman Knocks”
Incompetence and inexperience: traits all too common in the repairman business, as revealed in the latest edition of MARKETPLACE’s When the Repairman Knocks, Friday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC-TV.

Yet too many repairmen fail the test. This week is all about backyard pools and common fixes. In the pool business, any type of handyman can show up: some qualified, some not. Can Canadians trust them to do it right? Is your money well spent? When it comes to looking for skilled people to fix a pool, MARKETPLACE didn’t find much depth.
