Handyman Hero Pro recognizes that a well-maintained home not only maximizes life and happiness but also ensures the maximum value of your property.

The Pitfalls of Hiring Based on Price Alone

  1. Are you licensed, bonded, and insured? This ensures protection against potential damages or accidents.
  2. Can you provide a detailed estimate and timeline? Understanding the scope and duration of the project upfront can help manage expectations.
  3. Do you guarantee your work? A commitment to warranty signifies confidence in the quality of service.
  4. Can you provide references or examples of previous work? This offers insight into their experience and expertise.
  5. How do you handle unexpected issues or changes to the project? Flexibility and clear communication are key to a successful project outcome.
