Edit 10/13/20 due to overwhelming demand I am not taking on new work at this time. The best way to reach me directly is to call or text 603.401.4496 or email [email protected]. I am a lifelong Salem, New Hampshire resident, and have been working in the field of home renovations for 20 years. My background in furniture design and fine arts led me into General Contracting, kitchen and bathroom design, handyman services and home remodeling. From "Honey-Do Lists" to full kitchen, bathroom and basement remodels, my reputation for efficient, detail-oriented, and quality workmanship is something I am extremely proud of and strive to maintain. Your home is your biggest asset, and I consider it a privilege when my customers invite me into their homes to repair and renovate them.

"Mark is thorough, precise and extremely neat. Many contractors leave their mess behind but Mark is meticulous! I highly recommend him."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Almost all houses require soffits. The exception is in houses where you know without a shadow of a doubt there is adequate airflow throughout the entire house including, and most importantly, the attic. Almost all modern homes have soffits installed whether you notice them or not because on most homes, the roof eave extends beyond the walls of the home, naturally creating soffits.

The appeal of hiring a handyperson is two-fold: first, they usually cost less than hiring certified experts, and second, they complete a massive variety of projects, ranging from installing light fixtures and fixing plumbing leaks to refinishing wood floors and replacing doors in your home. Provided the job doesn’t require a specific license to complete—like a plumber’s license or electrician’s license—a handyperson will likely be able to tackle the work. Handypeople have a broad range of home improvement experience, so professionals can usually handle any project in your home that doesn’t need to be done by a licensed tradesperson.

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?

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.

While handypeople do not need to be licensed in many places, you should only hire insured pros for any home improvement work. Your handyperson should have active liability coverage that protects them and you in the case of an error or accident. Furthermore, if they have employees on your property, they should also have workers’ compensation insurance. If you hire an individual or a company that is not insured and they damage your property, have an accident while on the job, or become injured on your property without insurance, you can be held financially liable.
