Craftsman Direct - Winston Salem Handyman Services
I have a home in Winston Salem and Craftsman Direct helped do some basic maintenance and upkeep on the house. They fixed a broken screen, a broken hinge on a door, they cleaned the gutters, repaired a hole in the floor and repainted all of the trim throughout the house.
It went great. Doug Chidester, my contact, was friendly, went out immediately to give me an estimate and then had the work completed all in one day very quickly. These folks are great, trustworthy people and I've used them again since this experience.Craftsman Direct is now my go-to handyman solution! If I could give them an A+, I would!

First Impressions are Important
Inviting a handyman or contractor inside your home can be a nerve-racking experience, especially if the handyman is a complete stranger. Sometimes a reputable handyman can be found through a recommendation from a trustworthy source such as a family member, friend, or co-worker. However, if your inner circle is unable to provide a referral, then it is important to have some basic knowledge of what to look for in a reputable handyman.
First impressions can be a tell-tale sign of a handyman's trustworthiness. T-shirts, jeans, and work boots are appropriate attire for the job, however, the overall appearance should be neat. A handyman wearing a tattered shirt or jeans with holes is not interested enough to make a good first impression. It makes one wonder what kind of attention to detail they will have with your home improvement project. Also, take a peek at the vehicle parked in your driveway. Ask yourself if it meets your expectations for someone working inside your home. Nobody wants to be judged too harshly by a first impression, but first impressions can be important, especially when your home and money is involved.
Handyman or Contractor Insurance, License and Bonding in Winston Salem
In North Carolina a handyman or home improvement contractor should have a business license and be able to show it to you. You should also ask for proof of liability insurance and bonding. No credible handyman or contractor will mind being asked to prove his credibility - it shows their integrity.
Winston Salem Handyman Reviews, a Reputation for being Fair and Examples of Work
One way to check a handyman's credibility is to ask for a recommendation for similar work as on your home. Before hiring a handyman or contractor, cross reference the information using a search engine on the internet. If the review or recommendation given by the handyman is not accurate, you might want to reconsider or ask for a second review.
A more experienced handyman will also be able to provide you with examples of past projects he or she has completed, and may even have photos or a portfolio so you can see his or her quality of work.
A Price that You can Trust
A reputable handyman or contractor will give you a price that you can trust. Most contractor estimates give a 5-10% margin to cover the unexpected, but after that you need the confidence that your price is not going to change dramatically. Every now and then the handyman might find rotted wood or structural problems that were impossible to foresee - no handyman can guarantee against this and this is where the homeowner can feel some security IF they have already done the steps above to ensure the reliability of the handyman.
Finally, make sure the handyman working in your home pulls any required permits. Failure to pull a permit could leave you with unwanted fines. If a handyman is unable to pull a permit, then it is probably for a reason that compromises his or her integrity.
