Smart Hands provide professional services in Dubai
What did the Client ask for?
He sent us this list on WhatsApp:
- Light fixtures to be installed in maple one two rooms
- Silicone for the kitchen sink and the kitchen cabinets in Dubai hills estate
- Kitchen cabinet hinges to be fixed in townhouse maple 1
- The blinds above the kitchen sink to be removed
- Kitchen surface grouting to be repaired
- One of the ACs to be checked
It was a long list of small jobs. Each one is easy on its own, but together they take planning. Many people leave these jobs for months and then call one handyman to do them all in one go.
What was the time problem?
The client told us he would be at the villa only for a short time. He asked us to send someone by 11:30. He also said that he had to leave at 12.
We booked our visit for 11:00. That gave us a little extra time before his deadline. Our supervisor reached at 11 sharp. He checked every job on the list and looked at the AC. Then we gave the client a clear quote on the spot.
The client agreed to the quote. He told us that he could not stay for the work that day. He said he would be at the villa on Tuesday and asked us to make the Tuesday schedule. We checked our schedule and confirmed Tuesday for him.
How did we prepare for Tuesday?
A job with many small parts needs the right material ready before the team leaves the office. We did not want to stop in the middle of the work to buy something. Before the visit we arranged:
| What we prepared | Why |
| Lights for the two rooms | So the fixtures were ready to install on the day |
| Silicone and grouting material | For the sink, the cabinets and the kitchen surface |
| Hinges and the tools for them | To fix the kitchen cabinet doors |
| Tools for removing the blinds | For the kitchen window |
| AC tools and a capacitor | To fix the AC if the problem was found on site |
What happened on Tuesday in Maple one Townhouse?
Our team of three technicians reached the townhouse at 8 in the morning. The team was Shehzad, Imran and Faheem. They brought all the tools and material with them and started right away.
The client asked us to finish the whole list in one day. We agreed. The team worked extra hours so that everything was complete the same day. They did not leave any job for the next day.
Here is what they did:
- Installed the light fixtures in both rooms
- Applied silicone on the kitchen sink and the kitchen cabinets
- Fixed the kitchen cabinet hinges
- Removed the blinds above the kitchen sink
- Repaired the grouting on the kitchen surface
- Checked the AC, changed the capacitor and serviced the unit
What was wrong with the AC in Dubai hills estate?
The AC needed a new capacitor. A capacitor is a small part that helps the motor of the AC start and keep running. When it gets weak the AC may not start well. After we changed it, our team serviced the unit too, so the client got a working AC and a clean one.
How did the day end?
All the work on the list was finished the same day. The client was happy with how our team worked. He gave the team a tip as a thank you. He also told us that next time he would call us again for his work.
We are thankful for his trust. When a client with a tight schedule trusts a team to work in his home, we take that seriously.

Can you do some of these jobs yourself?
Yes. Some of this work is easy for most people. Here is how to do it the right way.
How to apply silicone on a kitchen sink
- Clean the old silicone off with a plastic scraper
- Wipe the area and let it dry fully
- Put masking tape on both sides of the line you want to fill
- Squeeze the silicone in one smooth line
- Smooth it with a wet finger or a tool and take the tape off
- Let it dry for the time written on the tube before you use water
How to fix a loose kitchen cabinet hinge
- Open the door and look at the hinge screws
- Tighten any loose screw with a screwdriver
- If the screw hole is too big, fill it with a wooden toothpick and a little glue, then screw it again
- Use the adjustment screw on the hinge to line the door up
- If the hinge is bent or broken, replace it with the same type
What are the signs of a weak AC capacitor?
| Sign | What it can mean |
| AC makes a humming sound but does not start | The capacitor may be weak |
| Fan outside does not spin | The capacitor or the motor may have a problem |
| Cooling is weak | Many things can cause this, so the AC should be checked |
| AC turns off by itself | It may be a power or capacitor problem |
Please do not open an AC and touch the capacitor yourself. A capacitor can hold an electric charge even when the power is off. Call a technician for this job.
When should you call a handyman?
| Situation | Better to call |
| Many small jobs in one house | Yes, one visit saves time |
| AC does not start or does not cool | Yes |
| Light fixture needs wiring work | Yes |
| Old grout is cracked or loose in a big area | Yes |
| Small silicone line on a sink | You can do it |
