Get matched with top handymen in Fruitport, MI

Most professional appliance removal companies will not expect a tip, but offering one is a good way to show appreciation for a job well done. A tip of 10% to 20% is a good idea if your professionals are working in the rain or snow, if they take extra care not to damage your walls and furniture in the removal process, or if they need to maneuver the appliance through tight spaces or up or down stairs to get it out of your home.

In most states, handypeople do not need to be licensed to perform simple home repair tasks and smaller jobs. When projects exceed specific cost amounts, however, ranging from $500 in California to $50,000 in other states, some municipalities consider them to be contractors, meaning they need to be licensed. To learn if your handyperson should be licensed to work on your job, contact your local governing body or state contractors’ licensing board before starting any work.

Whether or not you’re moving the hookups or simply replacing your current units, you should hire a qualified appliance pro to install your new washer and dryer.

It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:

• Are you licensed and insured?

• Do you have any references?

• Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

• How much do you expect materials to cost?

• How long do you expect the project to take?

• Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

• Do you provide a guarantee for the job?
