What Makes a Good Handyman?

When it comes to home repair or remodeling, it’s always a better idea to work with a handyman. But how exactly do you know if your choice can deliver the superior workmanship you expect? Here’s what to look for in a contractor.

License and Insured. The first thing you can do is to ensure your choice of handyman has the necessary credentials. These should include proof of licensing and insurance, including workers’ compensation and liability coverage. Working with a qualified handyman can protect you and your investment should anything go awry during the course of the project. If one of the choices on your list refuses to show you credentials, eliminate that person immediately.

Experience. Home repairs and renovations are costly and time-consuming. Any mistakes can delay completion while adding to overall expenses. That’s why it pays to work only with an experienced handyman like Ganser Company. We have been repairing and remodeling homes for over 80 years. With our high-quality handyman services, whether this involves roofing, windows or insulation, we’ll make sure your home remains lovely, comfortable and energy-efficient.
Commitment to Customer Service and Satisfaction. It’s essential to build trust and confidence between you and your handyman. They should be able to answer any questions or concerns you might have about the project – and do this in a professional manner. The last thing you want is to get a shrug or vague answer. And, if you did have valid issues about the work, your handyman should be able to address them and perform the necessary solutions.
High-Quality Materials and Products. What product brands does your handyman carry? You should always take material and product quality into account when having work done in your home. Ganser Company, for instance, is a certified GAF Master Elite® contractor, allowing access to top-tier asphalt shingle roofing systems. We also carry skylights from Velux®, siding from LP® SmartSide® and Infinity® fiberglass windows from Marvin®. All come with solid warranty coverage for your additional protection.
