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.

This is the worst company I have ever seen. The response he left on someone else’s review is a lie. Make sure you do your homework before hiring this so called Dustin with premier remodeling. He doesn’t show up. Complains he basically is doing the work fo...

I was house sitting for my son for over 5 days waiting on you to finish a job that was to be completed in 3 days. Still wasn't finishes after 7 days. And he NEVER kicked me out of his house. I left to keep from causing more stress for his pregnant wife...

If I could give less than 1 star of course I would. I will give it to Dustin he is a good salesman, but completely lacks ethics, responsibility and is the definition of a con man. From the start of our project Dustin advised he had crews of skilled wo...

Dustin maybe you should get a job as a custodian. Because you suck at remodeling. If you’re going to open a business at least be legitimate. Basically he steals your money and doesn’t come back. He’s a crybaby about anything he has done you don’t like. An...

Dustin was terrible from the get go. The very first day was the only day he was on time. He claimed to have crews that would be able to finish sheetrock, paint, install trim and complete my hardwoods with the stain my wife and I chose. We ended up havi...

Over promised and under delivered. Promised a week and it took a month. Workmanship was poor. When I asked questions out of concern, Dustin became defensive and told me I didn't know what I was talking about and that I shouldn't question his expertise....

Hired to refinish hardwood floor in a small bedroom. 3 day job was still not completed after 7 days. Dustin became very defensive when confronted and threatened to call his attorney. Which was laughable! Never showed up on time if at all. Messes left...

This guy DUSTIN the owner of premier remodeling is a THIEF!!!!!!!! He takes your money and doesn’t return. Then threatens to sew you if you complain about him not showing up. He only shows up long enough to scam you out of your money. Then stops coming!!...

I find it funny that the only reviews he has that say anything good both have the same last initial. I believe that he posted both of them. His pictures are copied and pasted. Every picture he has is of a completely empty house. Normally that means it was...
