What every homeowner needs to know before hiring a home repair contractor
Scott Depot WV – When looking for a local handyman many people begin their search on the internet. Some might call the number on the flyer they found attached to their mailbox while others will look in the Yellow Pages (yes, they do still exist). In any event, it is important to be selective when hiring a home service provider.
Anyone can post a classified ad or pass out flyers boasting the lowest rates and best work. The savvy home repair contractor might have a great looking website with all the right words, pictures, videos and other graphics, but this does not mean they are reputable. But, the internet is still a great way to find a good home improvement contractor. Consumers should check credible sites like the Better Business Bureau, Service Magic and others that can provide good information.
Lyndon Jones, owner of HandyPro Handyman Service (http://www.handypro.com/West_Virginia.html) says consumers only deserve the best from a home improvement contractor and only the most honest and reliable handyman deserves their business. Even if they do not choose HandyPro, Jones does not want to see the dishonest handyman gain their business.
The local handyman suggests 3 very important questions homeowners should ask before trusting a contractor with their home:
Is he properly insured? This is the very first thing one must know before hiring a home repair contractor. They must carry proper insurance in case they are injured or cause damage.
Can he provide a free up-front estimate? A good handyman should be able to provide a cost estimate before beginning the job. Also ask how long it will take to complete the work.
Is the company experienced and organized? Many home improvement contractors carry their portfolio with them and are proud to show before and after photos of their work. Find out how long they have been in business and get references friends and neighbors. The handyman should be well-organized and confident in themselves. They don’t have to be wearing a lettered uniform or an expensive suit and tie, but a sloppy appearance should be a red flag.
