Top 10 Handyman Services in Valley Center, CA
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.

Had a heating issue. Aimakers came up to fix a minor issue with our heating – furnace I think. Everything’s working fine no problems. happy with the service call.
Had an outside security door installed. It was installed in a timely fashion. I am pleased with the results.
Plum-up installed 3 exterior doors with precision and speed. Very little clean-up and no rework. Be sure your estimate covers the total job so there will not be any extra costs like haul and finishing. I did the required painting.

Overall, ok guy however quality of work not so much. Hired Allen home services to replace a section of wood fencing. I should have done more research before hiring him but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he said he had replaced numerous fences...
Garnet did a very great job painting my baby room and replacing the baseboard in my bathroom and living room. Very neat job done for a fair price.
