Home repair and remodeling contractors usually specialize specialize in one area, such as roofing, plumbing, electrical or carpentry. General contractors typically pass up the small jobs. Their specialty is in handling large, specialized projects and they often have a crew of workers who are depending on a days pay.

A handyman, who makes a living from small home repair projects, is often a better alternative. There are a few good rules of thumb for people considering a handyman. With a little homework, people can avoid disappointment and save time and money.

DECIDE THE PRJECTÂ’S SCOPE

A handyman makes a living from small jobs. But what is small? The answer is something that can be completed in one to three days. If the job is going to take more than a week, the homeowner should probably consider hiring a home repair contractor.

AGREE ON FINAL COST BEFORE WORK BEGINS

Like any contractor, a handyman should provide you with a free no obligation estimate before tackling a project. A homeowner should never hire a handyman until knowing the cost of the project, including parts. Typically, most handyman services charge an hourly rate for labor.

REFERENCES AND LICENSES

First ask for references and call them to make sure the handyman did quality work and stood behind the guarantees. Also check with the local Better Business Bureau to learn if there are any complaints against the handyman. Visit the BBB online to see if there is a Handyman Services Profile for the company you are considering working with.

Finally, make sure the handyman has a valid license in your state and verify his current insurance. If the handyman isn't insured, the homeowner could be liable for any damages or injuries while the handyman is working on their property.
