Can you charge a contractor for taking too long?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a maintenance man and a handyman?

• <div><p>While a handyperson will do the odd small job for your home, a maintenance person is responsible for conducting regular inspections and repairs. Maintenance people may come in to do small fixes and diagnose any issues you might be facing, but may not have all the same technical abilities as a handyperson.</p></div>

Q: How do you find a reputable handyman?

• <div><p>You can find a reliable handyperson by looking at professionals in your area and ruling out companies with poor reviews online. Next, check each handyperson on the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a history of complaints and rule out those that do. Finally, you can contact each handyperson to ask the following qualifying questions:</p><ul><li><p>What is your hourly rate?</p></li><li><p>Are there any jobs you can&rsquo;t tackle?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>How many years of experience do you have?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references I can contact?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do contractors charge for meetings?

• <div><p>Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what&rsquo;s included in the process.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip an appliance removal company?

• <div><p>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 <b>10% to 20%</b> 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.</p></div>

I have traveled across several states building and detailing Multi-million dollar projects as well as remodeling various properties. I recently moved to Lubbock in order to help take care of my family, and I am trying to start my own business to work for myself and build a relationship within the community. I take pride in everything I work on, so I want you to get exactly what you imagine when you hire me in confidence.
