Turn2Us Handyman Services was created with the homeowner in mind. Our goal is to help you with all your household projects by providing a full handyman service or simply providing a handyman to help you with your to-do list. No need to call multiple businesses to handle your projects, we can do it all! We are dedicated to providing you with the best handyman service available at the most affordable price without sacrificing quality.

"This was the letter I sent to Turn2Us to accompany their questionnaire once work was completed: I am sure this was a longer process than Scott Herbert had anticipated as the originally scheduled date of 14 September had to be pushed back because Home Depot delayed the delivery of the door Scott was to put in…it finally arrived on the 24th. We also ran into problems with the weather…the items not related to the door could not be done because of what can only be described as “monsoon season in Chattanooga”!! Scott was great throughout and rescheduled as needed with a smile. When work finally began there were a couple of hiccups but again Scott worked through them with a smile and never once had a problem. We actually increased the number of posts being replaced on the porch from one to four and he got a new quote and took care of it. Work completed on 3 October with one of those hiccups (a trim piece break on the installed door) being replaced. Again, Scott did the job with no issues and a smile throughout. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to use your service. We will do so in the future for any other items we need to have completed."

"We placed our window and door order with Champion Windows on March 21, 2024, and the final installation wasn’t completed until May 13, 2025—almost 14 months later. What should have been a straightforward project turned into a drawn-out, frustrating experience filled with poor communication, broken promises, and costly inconvenience. The windows had to be reordered three separate times due to poor craftsmanship, incorrect sizing, and visible scratches—clear signs of serious quality control issues. We also ordered two doors. One had to be replaced entirely because of a scratch on the inside of the glass, and during one installation visit, glass panels were broken inside our home, creating a dangerous safety hazard with children present. To make matters worse, we had to take time off work on five separate occasions to accommodate installation appointments—all of which were the result of Champion’s repeated mistakes. This added a significant and ongoing inconvenience to an already stressful process. The Regional Operations Manager visited our home, acknowledged the numerous issues, and made verbal assurances that were ultimately never followed through on. Despite escalating concerns to upper management, no one took responsibility, and customer service was virtually non-existent throughout the entire ordeal. We paid over $42,000 for this project, and at no point where we offered any refund, discount, or compensation for the unacceptable delays and errors. The only offer we were given was that of a gift card to a local restaurant. To date, this gift card has not been received. In summary, our experience with Champion Windows was deeply disappointing. The lack of accountability, poor craftsmanship, and disregard for the customer’s time were simply inexcusable. We would strongly advise others to avoid this company."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
