What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div><p>It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:</p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any references?</p></li><li><p>Will you provide a written estimate and contract?</p></li><li><p>How much do you expect materials to cost?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the project to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide a guarantee for the job?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should I tip my contractor?

• <div><p>Tipping contractors is not expected or required. However, consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-tip-my-remodeling-contractor.htm">tipping your remodeling contractor</a> if they exceed your expectations.</p></div>

Can you charge a contractor for taking too long?

• <div><p>If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.</p></div>

I couldn't be happier with Mr. Handyman. We moved into our house right before the holidays and needed a lot done. There service technicians were on time and performed a great service. I highly recommend them.
