When hiring a handyman there are many things to consider. Location, skill set, communication, appearances etc. Here are a few tip I give my family when they are considering hiring a handyman.

References. They are important but realize that someone is going to hate on pretty much anything. Go online and see the consensus of the opinions. Do most people find the handyman to be a good choice.

Does he offer free estimates. We do and everyone I know does. Craftsman Direct has been in the handyman business in Durham for 20 years.

Communication. Did the handyman in questions offer a written estimate that is clear with the task he is going to do and what his compensation package is. Did he include all materials purchases. Did he offer a warranty in writing? When he was speaking to you did he talk over you and was clear in his descriptions.

Insurance. Things go wrong from time to time. Did you get a COI from his insurer? Certificate of Insurance. This allows you to contact his insurance agency if there is a major goof. Should there be a minor goof from most any handyman job I would simply discuss this with your handyman and see if they can remedy.
