Found a local handyman who fixed my fence for half the price of the big guys
Last month my fence blew over in a storm in Tempe, and I got quotes from three big companies that started at $600. A neighbor recommended this guy named Mike who did it for $300 cash, and he even fixed a gate I didn't ask about. Has anyone else had luck skipping the big contractors for smaller jobs?
Show your policy to him and ask what he covers... I did that with my guy and found out he didn't cover water damage from a leaky pipe. @mark_ward, that's the same kind of thing you're getting at I think... always double check the fine print before you sign.
