A water leak at 10pm. A power outlet that stopped working. Paint peeling after the rainy season. In Douala and Yaoundé, homeowners and tenants regularly face repair issues. And the hardest part isn't the problem itself — it's finding someone reliable to fix it.

Word of mouth is slow, prices are never clear, and there are no guarantees. SangoServices offers a fast, transparent and secure alternative.

The traditional repair market in Douala and Yaoundé has several issues:

• "I'll come tomorrow" — The handyman never shows up on time
• "It costs 15,000 FCFA... actually 25,000" — The price changes after work begins

With SangoServices:

• The price is set upfront in FCFA. No surprises.
• The handyman has a verified profile with task history and reliability rate.
