Top 10 Handyman Services in Raeford, NC
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.

Quotes you a price then doubles it after the job. Unprofessional and untrustworthy.
Great Service. Would strongly recommend this company.
We had outbuilding repair and landscaping work done by SPFS. It all had to be re-done. The owner, who did the work, was not responsive. Not recommended.
Called twice and spoke with two people who took messages and said they would have someone call to set up an estimate. No one returned my call.

Very professional staff, work was accomplished as promise. The quality of the work was fantastic! They fixed all of the hidden problems left behind by other contractors with no extra costs and we now can enjoy our deck in the summer time.
Superior experience - rarely do I find a contractor who gets it right (quality of workmanship, speed of service, and cost). Leach & Sons broke the mold. I will use them again, without hesitation. Thanks, L&S!
I had a couple of rotted boards on the back of my home. I called Tom over the weekend to come look at it when he could and give me an estimate. He came that Mon , gave me a fair price and had his crew there right away and fixed it that same day !! I was s...
