Top 10 Handyman Services in Decatur, AL
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.

I hired Mr Handyman to diagnose and fix a leak in my balcony. I paid roughly $1200.00, leak is not fixed and they will not back work guarantee. On Mar 6, 2020, the technician came to my house, diagnosed the problem, and told me what materials I needed to ...

Platinum Construction did an excellent job from planning and ordering the materials to the installation. The work was fabulous & I will definitely call on the company again for any other project that comes up.
I needed a complete tear off of a deteriorated deck on a rental property. I never met Eric in person as I live out of state. Eric was professional and fast. He did a beautiful job and for a fantastic price. I highly recommend this group..Eric is to notch.
Prompt,friendly,nice work.completed fast.will use his company again
They are not willing to take Customers Calls !! I am wondering what kind of customer's respect they are showing , and so what kind of service they are committed to!
Very big mistake. Horrible workmanship. 2-3week job is not 1/2 finished and left in a terribly unsafe condition. No work ethic. Never worked a full day when they did show up. Seriously questionable integrity.
Uses off brand equipment and claims they are top notch. Pays to remove his bad reviews.
Best guys around. Neat, professional, quick. Give them a call!
