Q: What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they&rsquo;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>

Q: How do you end a relationship with a contractor?

• <div><p>Reviewing your contract for termination terms is best when ending a relationship with a contractor. If there is nothing in the contract or you had a verbal agreement, communicate your decision in writing, citing specific reasons. Afterward, pay for the completed work per your original agreement. Remember you want a record of all correspondence in case you need a lawyer later to settle disputes.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of hiring a pro over DIY for small tasks?

• <div><p>Using a pro guarantees correct tools and expertise, preventing potential household mishaps.</p></div>

Q: Do you really need soffits?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What should I expect in terms of the cost of hiring a handyman?

• <div><p>Rates vary by task complexity and time, often providing cost-effective solutions for homeowners.</p></div>
