Top 10 Handyman Services in Oakwood, OH
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.

Gary came to help us after we were in a tornado. We had to leave our old home as it was too damaged to fix, and we started in on another older home which needed the whole thing remodeled. We were very satisfied with Gary's work for us. Thank you Gary!

I Hired the cheaper guy that popped up on a different website. Hired Tailored Home Services to fix what the other plumber messed up. Should’ve gone with my gut and hired them in the first place. They did the job perfectly and 3 days faster than the other ...
Hired them several times. For Plumbing and electric services you won’t find nicer guys. Pricing is great and results are perfect.
They did a fantastic job installing our plumbing fixtures and appliances. Pricing was exactly what we were expecting and I didn’t have to clean a thing after they left. Very happy.
The perfect example of a con man, down to the sociopath personalty.
