Six questions before you hire

  1. For my state, is this job above the threshold that requires a contractor license?
  2. Do you carry liability insurance? (Even small jobs can do five-figure damage.)
  3. How do you price — hourly with a minimum, or flat per task?
  4. Do you bring your own materials or do I supply them?
  5. What's your guarantee if a repair fails within a few weeks?
  6. How are change-orders handled if the job opens up something bigger?
A "handyman" willing to do major plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work without a license — that's how houses end up with insurance-disqualifying defects.
