Q & A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much do you charge?
A: I have a set fee for just about everything I do. My normal rate is $75 per hour but many estimates are adjusted based on complexity and not an hourly rate. Just call or email me and I can answer any pricing questions you may have.
All estimates are free and any work will have a minimum $75 fee. All materials purchased are charged to the customer with no mark up. I will provide receipts when requested.
Q: Are you licensed and bonded?
A: I am not bonded. I do almost all work myself, though I sometimes must subcontract certain tasks. However, the customer will always know in advance if something is subcontracted. Because I have no employees, I do not carry a bond. I do carry a $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy that covers me for any work I perform.
Oklahoma does not have a handyman or contractor license. I also do not have a plumbing or electrical license. I do know the codes and keep up with them. I do a lot of plumbing and electrical, mostly repairs and upgrades (i.e. plugs, light fixtures and faucets, etc.) but I am not licensed.
Q: What sort of work do you do?
A: I do almost anything inside or out except HVAC. If I do not know how, or If I am not comfortable, with something I will let you know. I do not try to perform work I am not qualified for or do not know how to do. The majority of my work is repairs and upgrades.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: I accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. All credit cards transactions are charged a 3% convenience fee.
Q: What is your background/experience?
A: I have a BS in Criminal Justice Mgmt and Ethics and have a law enforcement background. I have been doing remodels and "flipping" for 4 years. I started GHR in January 2007 as my full-time occupation because there was need for good, honest, and dependable handyman in the area.
Q: Do you do construction and remodels?
A: I can but I usually stay away from larger projects. So much of my business is small jobs that when accepting large jobs puts me behind schedule and could cause a delay in assisting other customers. However, please contact me because there are times when I am able to work on larger projects. I can be your general contractor on large projects.
Please contact me with any questions.
