Top 10 Handyman Services in St. George, UT
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.

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.

Fantastic experience working with Mike Bishop. He is honest and fair in his dealings, and he did a great job for us. He is efficient, and the pergola and tile he installed looks really great!
We have used Mike's service a couple times this year. His work has been fantastic. He does everything in a timely manner and his work is impeccable! He will definitely be our go-to man from now on.
He stretched the job out for months, was constantly asking for additional funds before they were earned, over charged us for changes and did not fulfill his contract. We lost a lot of time and money and would not recommend him for any work.
I'll keep this simple. M. Bishop excels in his craft, with sincerity, ingenuity and integrity. Oh! And may I add he's a really nice individual.
