Is your home improvement contractor readily available to begin your project quickly?

Most home improvement companies require a long lead-time in order to schedule their craftspersons. From the time you first call to get a quote, it could be five to seven weeks before they’re actually on your job. Also, it’s typical to be charged a two to four hour minimum and often no quote is provided. Handyman Matters operates differently. Our minimum is only one hour and in most cases you will have an idea of how long the project will take before we arrive. If we cannot provide you with a time frame over the phone, our craftsperson will provide you a time frame when he or she arrives. The craftsperson is there to work for that hour, so create a list, test our company and get your money’s worth. Generally we are able to start your project within a few days after you call, not five to seven weeks. How readily we can respond to emergencies depends on our schedule, but we can normally accommodate you quickly.

Questions to ask:

• How long will it be before you can start work on my job?
