"LFC Services did a great job in repairing my backyard fence. They were very timely and professional from the beginning to the completion of the project."
"We hit Terry with a multitude of tasks. Siding repair, stucco work, garrage trim repair, and even last minute electrical troubleshooting. He met every challenge with ease. Courteous, thorough, and craftsmanship are only a few traits I can use to describe him. We are already planning more work for him!"
"I am so pleased with the work done by the Zefi Group. They caulked and repainted my windows and front door and made my house look incredible!!! They are perfectionists and have great pride in the work that they do. I highly recommend them."
"I was very impressed with the attention to detail and the commitment to delivering exemplary service. As an example, I was having a bathroom tub re-caulked. After they did it, the technician (Ben) said he didn't think the color of the standard caulk looked good, he checked in with me about it, and redid it the next day. One aspect of the project also ended up taking longer than expected and they couldn't get it done in the projected timeframe, but Ben and Marcos made sure that they were there first thing the following day to make sure it got done and I didn't have to wait weeks to get back on the schedule. They also said at the beginning that they'll leave everything as clean a they found it. I've heard that from contractors before, but this was the first time it was actually true! I couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work."
"great service called back immediately and came out immediately. Cut old dead vines off a 4 story drain pipe in less then 1 hour and cleaned up the dead vines"
A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.
A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.
You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).
Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.
To install or move washer and dryer hookups, you will likely need a combination of professionals. A plumber can handle the water supply lines and drain pipes. If you have a gas dryer, a plumber certified for gas lines or an HVAC specialist will be needed to run the gas line. An electrician is required to install the correct electrical outlets. For simpler jobs, a local handyperson may suffice, while a contractor might be needed for tasks like drywall repair for the new vents.
Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
