I personally don’t like the idea of picking someone to do work for you based on a demographic or characteristic, but then again it’s not my place to tell anyone what to do and at the end of the day you should feel comfortable with whoever you’re inviting into your house to do work for you to be respectful towards you. So I can understand why OP is being specific about who she wants to hire if she’s had problems with guys in the past, but as others have said it’s going to be hard to fit those criteria if labor in these trades is already in short supply so she may not much of a choice if she needs to work done ASAP.
