FAQs

Carpentry & Handyman FAQ — Starke County, IN

This is unfortunately common. Without insurance, your options are small claims court (effective for amounts under $10k–$15k in most states) or pursuing the handyman personally. Most states have contractor licensing requirements even for handyman work — if he was unlicensed, that strengthens your case. Always verify insurance and licensing before hiring anyone for home work.

A handyman handles minor repairs, assembly, and small projects. A licensed general contractor can pull permits and oversee structural, electrical, and plumbing work. In most states, any single job over $500–$1,000 requires a contractor's license. Use a licensed contractor for: anything requiring a permit, structural work, or projects where a bad outcome could affect safety.

Most handymen charge $60–$120/hour. For small jobs, a 2-hour minimum is standard. For a list of small tasks, ask for a full-day rate — many will do 4–6 hours of assorted tasks for a flat $300–$400. Materials are usually charged at cost + 10–20%. Get an itemized list of what they'll accomplish for the quoted price before they start.

Replacing rotted deck boards is typically a handyman or carpenter job — no permit required for like-for-like board replacement. However, if the framing (joists, ledger) is also damaged, that's structural and may require a licensed contractor and permit depending on your jurisdiction. Have someone inspect the framing before assuming it's a simple board swap.

Yes — a properly installed door should close and latch smoothly, seal at the weatherstripping, and swing without binding. If it doesn't, the installation was defective. Send a written request to fix it. If he's unresponsive, document the defect thoroughly and pursue in small claims court if the amount warrants it. Don't let bad work slide.

Good DIY candidates: painting, caulking, basic landscaping, outlet/switch replacement (turn off breaker first), interior door adjustments, minor tile repairs. Hire out: anything involving main electrical panel, gas lines, structural changes, permit work, roofing, or anything where failure creates a safety hazard or expensive damage. The cost of a bad DIY on complex systems far exceeds what a professional would have charged.
