Handyman

Are you looking for a skilled contractor or handyman to complete your next home improvement project?

Nowadays home improvement is all the rage. While the pandemic has caused historic setbacks and unforeseen loss for so many, it has also motivated homeowners to renovate, restore, or add an addition to their homes, which in turn adds value. A few examples of home improvement projects are gutter cleaning, replacing or adding electrical appliances, bathroom remodeling, window replacement, increasing square footage with a room addition, and more. The first question most homeowners ask is "Where do I start?" Allow us to guide you through this process. First, set your budget! Second, think about how you want to design your project. Finally, you will need to find a local professional to successfully complete your home improvement project. Simple, right? Before you hire just anyone, it is important to hire the right person for the job.

Many people ask whether or not they should hire a handyman or a contractor. The answer depends on the scope of the job. Smaller projects, like installing a light fixture or repairing a kitchen sink leak, can be handled by a handyman. However, more in-depth projects or projects that demand a permit from the city prior to the start date, will require a licensed and insured contractor who specializes in the project at hand.

Typically for smaller jobs, a handyman can complete the job with ease and is often less expensive than a contractor. However, it is important to keep in mind that a handyman is generally not licensed and/or insured.

For larger jobs, it is suggested to hire a licensed and insured contractor who more often than not specializes in specific home improvement projects. A professional contractor who is licensed and insured will offer liability insurance, which is protection from personal injury and any property damage incurred during your renovation.

We highly suggest hiring a local professional for your next home improvement project. Why is hiring local so important? You know exactly where to find them! A qualified local contractor will be more readily available to answer your questions and respond to any concerns. Since local contractors often acquire business through referrals, it is safe to say they care about a job well done. Generally speaking, local contractors want to keep a solid reputation within the community, which is why they are often more accountable and are eager to provide quality craftsmanship and service. Hiring local also helps the local economy since you are investing back into your community.
