By Jon R Gilmor

Below are the 6 simple tips to go through when choosing a San Antonio Handyman for your home remodel or repair work. Before you pick a contractor for a particular job you would like to be sure they can do good work and at a fair price for you. Being aware of details like knowing if the handyman service is licensed and bonded, checking what type of professional image the worker presents, and knowing they have some good experience with your type of project will put you in a better decision making position.

1. What type of services does the handyman business have available? Can they do roofing repairs, home additions, quick fix jobs, plumber work, electrician work, and other home improvements? By getting a contractor who can perform many services you can save yourself the hassle of calling several different businesses and paying too much money.

2. What type of experience does the contractor have or how many years have they been in business? Knowing that your worker has several years of experience is a safe way to tell if they do good work or not. If a contractor has been in business for over 10 years there is a reason for it. So if you don't want to do guess work stick with a handyman business that has had experience so your not gambling with your house's structural well-being.

3. Probably one of the first questions you would want to ask the construction worker is if they are properly licensed and insured to do your type of job. There are also San Antonio city codes along with county code requirements that must be met for different types of home construction so again make sure that the contractor is aware of these.

4. A top priority when getting any type of work completed for home improvement is making sure you get a warranty or guarantee from the contractor. Contractors who provide a written warranty for finished jobs and construction work show they have confidence and are sure that they will satisfy your home repair needs on the first try. If you can't get a guarantee in writing then don't waste your time, or money.

5. What type of time line can you expect for your project? Do you have a certain date that you need the job completed by? Whether you have a deadline or not it is best to communicate and agree upon an exact start date and a rough estimated time for completion on your home improvements with your contractor before any actual work has started.

6. What type of image does this handyman service have when you first meet them to get a job bid? Image isn't everything but the way someone presents themselves as a person and a businessman can tell you a lot about how they view themselves. Does the guy seem genuinely interested in your project and your needs? What about their company vehicle and equipment; is the vehicle in proper order and clean and do they have modern equipment necessary to complete your job efficiently? These are just a few things to look for. Don't expect however to have them show up for a bid in a business suit, they are your handyman not your banker.

You now know a few important details to be in the best position to make an informed decision on a good handyman. These details factor in tips such as finding a properly bonded and insured business, getting a set time for start and finishing dates, choosing a well rounded contractor in terms of skill traits and services provided, and other traits that can save you time and money with your home improvements. You are now set to get bids from a San Antonio Handyman and get your job completed in proper condition. - 29939
