Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 3259616, member: 271"] Home Advisor is fine but I can assure you from personal experience that their background check of the contractors is a joke. Provide license, insurance and 3 references, done. I would only be minimally comfortable that the guys sent my way are legit and honest. It provides a very small layer of security. As a residential and commercial builder/roofer, my immediate thought was, “This isn’t going to differentiate us, everybody can get on here.” I’ve found that a good handyman service can fix just about anything and what they can’t fix, they’ll have a buddy that can. I’d advise finding a solid handyman. I don’t even use my own guys around the house most of the time. I have a couple handymen that are conscientious, friendly and respectful to my wife and kids. I prefer they do small jobs at my house. They are used to that environment. [/QUOTE]
