Top 10 Handyman Services in Auburn, WA
Top questions to ask before hiring a handyman
Handymen are hired to do many various home improvement tasks. Some are general tradesmen, who have a variety of experiences. Others have licenses and training in electrical work or plumbing. The key is asking what their level of experience is for the type of work you need done. Before you call a handyman, know what you need done along with any important details. You'll want an in-home consultation so that you can walk through the project.
Handyman licensing varies from state to state however it's a good question to ask your handyman. You'll also want to verify the dollar amounts for their surety bond (a third party that can cover payments in case the handyman doesn't pay subcontractors or employees) as well as insurance (in case they damage your property or injure themselves).
After the handyman has had a chance to walk through the project, have him or her outline the scope of work. The details of the project, including labor, materials, supplies, rental equipment, or subcontractors, should be listed as separate line items. If you are on a tight budget or timeline, this is the time to discuss options or alternatives for your project. If the project is small, like hauling debris or performing minor repair work, the handyman should request payment when the job is complete. For larger projects that require ordering of materials or multiple subcontractors, it's more common to pay a deposit.
Obtaining proper permits for home improvement is the responsibility of the homeowner. But very often professional file the permits on behalf of the homeowner and should have a good understanding of the process. When the structure of the home is altered, or when changes are made to the electrical system or gas lines, you may need to file a permit. Discuss your particular project with your handyman and ask if a permit is required.
A good handyman should be happy to share references. Anywhere from three to five past clients should be able to give you a good idea about the handyman's work style, ability to get the job done, and the satisfaction when the job is complete. If a homeowner wasn't satisfied with the handyman, be sure you ask specifically why. Sometimes miscommunication can contribute to unsatisfied customers.

Integrity, quality and vision are what we use to describe greatness in the pool industry
I highly recommend Stokeys. The business workers are reasonably priced and do great work. I'm very satisfied with the fence, yard work, and miscellaneous work fixing things inside the house.
Reliable, professional and fast. Great work.. Will certainly use again.
Scott has built a wonderful "Garage Mahal" for me and done some other projects. He provides good advice on what and how to approach my various projects. I recommend him and will continue to use him in the future.
Unreliable. He doesn’t keep his word. Poor business and customer service. I would expect better quality of contractors on Porch.com than on Craigslist. Unfortunately this one is not. Don’t recommend.
Scott had done outstanding work for us on two projects so we didn't hesitate to pay him $2400 1/17/19 toward demolition and replacement of our deck. He completed the $750 demolition (although we helped with it) and brought a small pile of mostly warped ...
Scott is a stand-up fellow that does outstanding work he stands behind to the fullest degree
