Top 10 Handyman Services in Scottsdale, AZ
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.
Recent reviews for Scottsdale Handymen
They came and fixed a plumbing problem in the apartment and did an excellent job, I highly recommend them.
It started a little rough but no serious problems Mike's crew did a fantastic job. New shower with built in seat for my wife that has MS. All finished on time and a reasonable cost.
Prompt service when my water heater went out. The repair man was very polite and professional.
Over several years we have hired Mike to do countless repairs for us on our rentals (10). He has proven himself to be competent, responsive, versatile and competitively priced!
Just got our entire kitchen done and hands down the best experience ever. A phenomenal company to work with.
I’d trust Keith at Goody's Handyman for all my home repair and improvements. Very skilled and honest. His team member Alex also did a great job removing iron bars and gates and did awesome at stucco repair and patching and painting. Looks amazing! Thank...
Scammer. Will take your deposit and go on vacation then ghost you.
Please go with a licensed, ethical handyman that won't take your $1500 deposit and go on vacation and ghost you...
Have never had a worse experience than I've had with this man. Avoid or he'll scam you out of thousands. Not trustworthy.
Still owes me money for unfinished work. I have reported him to the BBB. Don't trust him
Scammer. Unethical. Has an electrician on his team that brings his kids to work. Had them around live wires with no protective gear. Huge liability. Do not allow them into your home.
