What’s the difference between a handyperson and a contractor?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

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>

How do I join Corian?

• <div><p>After cutting Corian® to the right size, you may have to attach it to another piece of Corian®, either at a corner or another seam. One way to create the tightest seam is to place the two pieces of Corian® on a level surface at ⅜-inch apart. Run a router in between the two slabs to create an identical edge on both pieces. Then use the proper DuPont Joint Adhesive for your type of seam and countertop to join the Corian® together.</p></div>

What they said they were going to do and actually happen didn't match. All that was done for $79 was looked at my air filter, and check the freon pressure at the air conditioning unit. To be fair, I was wanting to know the health of my compressor and whether the amount of freon was correct or if...

I have been using them for a number of years. Their pricing is competitive with anybody else’s. They charge around $90 for cleaning, but they put that in with the oil that they deliver or any service that they do as we are on a budget plan with them, so everything is combined.

Their service was extremely good. They were prompt and did the work extremely well. The unit that they sold as a replacement was highly rated. It works as they described it would so we are really satisfied with the service. There was nothing that was not very good.
