Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Handyman Can Help. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Handyman Can Help website, communications with our company, requests for estimates or services, and, where incorporated into an estimate, work order, quote, or service agreement, the services provided by Handyman Can Help.

By using our website, submitting a service request, approving an estimate, scheduling work, electronically accepting a proposal, making payment, or otherwise authorizing Handyman Can Help to perform services, you agree to these Terms to the extent applicable to your transaction.

1. Company Information

Website: www.handymancanhelp.com
Phone: 813-761-3421
Email: service@handymancanhelp.com

Services may be performed by employees, technicians, subcontractors, or other qualified service providers working with or on behalf of Handyman Can Help, as permitted by applicable law.

2. Estimates and Quotes

Estimates are based on the information reasonably available at the time they are prepared, including customer descriptions, photographs, videos, measurements, site observations, and visible conditions.

Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing:

  • Estimates are not guarantees that concealed or unforeseen conditions do not exist.
  • Pricing may change if the actual condition of the property or scope of work differs from the information initially provided.
  • Additional work requested by the customer is not included unless specifically listed in the approved scope.
  • Materials, permits, disposal fees, specialty equipment, parking fees, delivery charges, or other project expenses are included only when specifically stated.
  • An estimate may expire after the validity period stated on the estimate.

Handyman Can Help will make reasonable efforts to notify the customer before performing materially additional work that will result in additional charges.

3. Authorization to Perform Work

Approval of an estimate, proposal, work order, electronic authorization, text-message approval, email approval, recorded telephone authorization where legally permitted, payment of a requested deposit, or other clear authorization may constitute permission for Handyman Can Help to schedule or begin the approved work.

The person authorizing the work represents that they are the property owner or have authority from the property owner to authorize the services.

4. Scope of Work

Handyman Can Help is responsible only for the work specifically described in the approved estimate, proposal, work order, or other written scope.

Requests made after work begins may constitute a change in scope and may result in additional labor, materials, equipment, travel, or scheduling charges.

Work that is outside the permitted legal scope of handyman services or that requires a separately licensed trade professional may be declined, subcontracted to an appropriately licensed provider where permitted, or referred to another provider.

5. Scheduling and Arrival Times

Appointment dates and arrival windows are estimates unless Handyman Can Help expressly guarantees otherwise in writing.

Scheduling may be affected by:

  • Weather
  • Traffic
  • Material availability
  • Supplier delays
  • Emergency service calls
  • Conditions discovered on previous jobs
  • Employee or technician availability
  • Permit or inspection requirements
  • Events beyond our reasonable control

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant scheduling changes.

6. After-Hours, Weekend, and Priority Service

Handyman Can Help will make reasonable efforts to accommodate service requests 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to technician availability.

Work requested outside normal operating hours may be subject to an after-hours, weekend, emergency, expedited, or priority-service charge.

Any applicable surcharge should be disclosed or reflected in the applicable estimate, work order, invoice, or customer authorization.

7. Customer Responsibilities

The customer agrees to:

  • Provide safe and reasonable access to the work area.
  • Disclose known hazards, leaks, electrical issues, structural concerns, pests, mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, or other potentially hazardous conditions.
  • Secure pets and keep children and unauthorized persons away from active work areas.
  • Remove or protect fragile, valuable, or personal items located near the work area.
  • Provide working utilities when reasonably required to perform the work.
  • Obtain HOA, condominium association, landlord, or property-management approval when required unless Handyman Can Help specifically agrees to obtain it.
  • Provide accurate information concerning the property and requested work.

Handyman Can Help is not responsible for delays or additional costs caused by undisclosed conditions, lack of access, or inaccurate information supplied by the customer.

8. Concealed and Unforeseen Conditions

Handyman and repair projects may reveal conditions that could not reasonably be identified before work began, including:

  • Water damage
  • Rot
  • Termite or pest damage
  • Mold
  • Improper prior repairs
  • Hidden plumbing or electrical components
  • Structural deterioration
  • Code deficiencies
  • Damaged framing
  • Underground or concealed utilities
  • Substandard installation by prior contractors

Unless expressly included in the original scope, correcting these conditions constitutes additional work and may require a revised estimate or change order.

9. Customer-Supplied Materials and Products

When the customer supplies materials, fixtures, appliances, hardware, equipment, paint, flooring, doors, windows, or other products, the customer is responsible for confirming that the products are:

  • Correctly sized
  • Complete
  • Compatible with the existing installation
  • Undamaged
  • Suitable for their intended use
  • Available at the job site when required

Handyman Can Help is not responsible for manufacturer defects, missing parts, incorrect measurements supplied by the customer, product incompatibility, shipping damage, or delays involving customer-provided materials.

Additional labor required because a customer-provided item is incomplete, defective, incorrectly sized, or incompatible may be billed separately.

10. Materials Purchased by Handyman Can Help

When Handyman Can Help purchases materials on behalf of the customer, the customer may be responsible for the cost of:

  • Materials
  • Delivery
  • Pickup or procurement time
  • Disposal
  • Restocking charges
  • Specialty-order fees
  • Applicable taxes
  • Other documented project-related expenses

Special-order or custom materials may be non-refundable once ordered.

11. Deposits and Advance Payments

Certain projects may require a deposit or advance payment before scheduling, ordering materials, or beginning work.

Deposit requirements will be identified in the applicable estimate, proposal, invoice, or agreement.

Deposits applied to materials already purchased, special-order items, permitted nonrecoverable expenses, or work already performed may be non-refundable to the extent allowed by Florida law.

Nothing in this section limits any cancellation or refund right that cannot legally be waived.

12. Payment Terms

Payment is due according to the terms stated on the applicable estimate, invoice, proposal, or work order.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the customer is responsible for paying for:

  • Completed labor
  • Approved additional work
  • Materials
  • Applicable taxes
  • Disposal charges
  • Authorized service fees
  • Other charges shown on the invoice

Failure to inspect the work immediately does not automatically postpone payment when the work has otherwise been substantially completed.

The customer should promptly notify Handyman Can Help of any legitimate concern so we have a reasonable opportunity to review it.

13. Returned Payments and Past-Due Accounts

Returned checks, rejected transactions, chargebacks made without a legitimate basis, and past-due balances may be subject to fees or collection costs to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If an account remains unpaid, Handyman Can Help may suspend further work and pursue lawful collection remedies.

Where permitted by law and by the applicable agreement, the customer may be responsible for reasonable costs incurred in collecting an unpaid balance, including collection-agency costs, court costs, and reasonable attorney's fees.

14. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Customers should contact Handyman Can Help promptly if they believe an invoice or payment is incorrect.

A chargeback does not eliminate an otherwise valid debt for services or materials properly supplied.

Handyman Can Help reserves the right to submit estimates, approvals, photographs, communications, invoices, completion records, and other relevant documentation to financial institutions or payment processors when responding to a payment dispute.

15. Cancellation and Rescheduling

Customers should provide as much notice as reasonably possible when canceling or rescheduling an appointment.

Handyman Can Help may charge a cancellation, trip, mobilization, restocking, or other reasonable fee when permitted and when the customer cancels after:

  • Materials have been purchased;
  • A technician has been dispatched;
  • Specialty equipment has been arranged;
  • Labor has been specifically reserved; or
  • Non-refundable expenses have already been incurred.

Any applicable cancellation policy stated in an individual estimate or service agreement will control if it differs from this general website policy.

Florida Cancellation Rights

Certain transactions may qualify as a home solicitation sale or otherwise carry statutory cancellation rights under Florida law.

When Florida law requires a particular cancellation notice, rescission period, written agreement, or refund procedure, the legally required provisions will control over any inconsistent provision in these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any consumer cancellation right that cannot lawfully be waived.

16. Emergency or Immediate Work

If a customer asks Handyman Can Help to perform urgent or immediate work, including work intended to prevent additional property damage, the customer authorizes the work specifically approved.

Emergency circumstances do not automatically waive statutory rights that cannot legally be waived.

Additional charges may apply for emergency, after-hours, weekend, expedited, or priority service.

17. Permits, Inspections, and Code Requirements

Some projects may require permits, inspections, licensed specialty contractors, engineering, association approval, or governmental authorization.

Unless specifically included in the approved scope, permit fees and related professional or governmental costs are not included.

Handyman Can Help may stop or decline work if it determines that performing the requested work would violate applicable licensing, permitting, building-code, safety, or other legal requirements.

18. Existing Code Violations and Prior Work

Handyman Can Help is not responsible for defects, code violations, concealed deficiencies, or improper installations created by previous owners, contractors, tenants, manufacturers, or other third parties.

If these conditions interfere with the requested work, additional repairs may be required before the original service can be completed.

19. Completion and Customer Inspection

Customers are encouraged to inspect completed work promptly.

If the customer believes there is a workmanship issue, the customer should notify Handyman Can Help within a reasonable period and provide photographs or other information when requested.

Handyman Can Help should be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and, when appropriate, correct covered workmanship before the customer hires another company to perform corrective work.

20. Workmanship Warranty

Any workmanship warranty applies only if specifically stated in the applicable estimate, invoice, proposal, or warranty document.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, any workmanship warranty does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Customer misuse or abuse
  • Accidental damage
  • Storm, hurricane, flood, lightning, or other weather damage
  • Settlement or structural movement
  • Pest or termite damage
  • Water intrusion from unrelated areas
  • Manufacturer defects
  • Customer-supplied materials
  • Work altered or repaired by another person
  • Conditions outside the original scope of work
  • Failure caused by an underlying condition that Handyman Can Help did not create

Manufacturer warranties, when applicable, are provided by the manufacturer and are subject to the manufacturer's terms.

21. Color and Material Variations

Exact matching of existing paint, stain, grout, wood grain, flooring, tile, texture, caulk, siding, masonry, countertops, finishes, or aged materials cannot always be guaranteed.

Existing materials may have changed because of age, sunlight, moisture, wear, discontinued production, or prior repairs.

Handyman Can Help will make reasonable efforts to obtain an acceptable match when matching is part of the approved scope.

22. Landscaping, Exterior, and Pressure-Washing Services

Customers understand that exterior surfaces can have pre-existing deterioration, oxidation, loose paint, failing sealants, damaged mortar, damaged screens, weakened wood, aged siding, or other conditions.

Pressure washing and exterior cleaning may expose existing defects or remove loose or deteriorated surface material.

Unless damage results from Handyman Can Help's failure to exercise reasonable care, Handyman Can Help is not responsible for deterioration that existed before the service and became apparent during normal cleaning or maintenance.

23. Moving, Hauling, Junk Removal, and Cleanout Services

The customer represents that they have authority to dispose of, move, donate, transport, or remove all items they direct Handyman Can Help to handle.

Customers must identify:

  • Fragile items
  • High-value property
  • Hazardous materials
  • Chemicals
  • Firearms or weapons
  • Medical waste
  • Paint or solvents
  • Fuel
  • Pressurized containers
  • Items requiring specialized disposal

Handyman Can Help may refuse to transport or dispose of any item that is unsafe, prohibited, hazardous, unusually valuable, or outside the agreed scope.

24. Photographs and Documentation

Handyman Can Help may photograph or video the work area before, during, and after service for:

  • Estimating
  • Documentation
  • Quality control
  • Training
  • Warranty review
  • Insurance or dispute documentation
  • Project records

Photos containing identifying customer information will be handled reasonably and in accordance with applicable privacy practices.

Photos used publicly for marketing should not intentionally disclose private personal information. Where appropriate, Handyman Can Help may seek separate customer permission for identifiable or privacy-sensitive content.

25. Website Information

Handyman Can Help makes reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current.

However:

  • Website descriptions are general.
  • Website pricing, if shown, may not apply to every property.
  • Service availability may vary by location.
  • Photographs are illustrative and do not guarantee identical results.
  • Website content does not replace a project-specific estimate or written agreement.

26. Online Requests Are Not Guaranteed Appointments

Submitting a contact form, booking request, text message, email, or online request does not by itself guarantee that an appointment has been accepted.

An appointment is confirmed only after Handyman Can Help communicates confirmation or otherwise accepts the requested service.

27. SMS, Telephone, and Electronic Communications

By providing a telephone number or email address in connection with a service request, you authorize Handyman Can Help to contact you regarding your inquiry, estimate, appointment, job progress, payment, follow-up, and related customer-service matters.

Consent to receive marketing communications is not required as a condition of purchasing services where prohibited by law.

Message and data rates may apply to SMS communications.

Customers may request that optional marketing communications stop in accordance with applicable law.

28. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party services, payment providers, scheduling platforms, suppliers, manufacturers, financing providers, review platforms, or other websites.

Handyman Can Help does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, security, or terms of third-party websites.

29. Property Damage and Limitation of Responsibility

Handyman Can Help will exercise reasonable care while performing authorized services.

The customer understands that repair and improvement work can involve disturbing existing finishes, concealed components, landscaping, flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinetry, fixtures, or other areas reasonably necessary to complete the work.

Handyman Can Help is not responsible for pre-existing damage or conditions that could not reasonably have been discovered before performing the authorized work.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.

30. Delays Outside Our Control

Handyman Can Help is not responsible for reasonable delays caused by circumstances outside its control, including:

  • Hurricanes
  • Tropical storms
  • Flooding
  • Severe weather
  • Government restrictions
  • Supplier shortages
  • Material backorders
  • Transportation interruptions
  • Utility failures
  • Labor shortages
  • Emergencies
  • Acts of God

We will make reasonable efforts to resume affected work when conditions permit.

31. Construction Liens

Florida law may provide contractors, subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers with lien rights when they are not paid for labor, services, or materials used to improve real property.

For contracts where Florida law requires a specific construction-lien warning or statutory notice, Handyman Can Help will provide the applicable notice as required by law.

Any required statutory notice should be contained in the applicable project contract rather than relying solely on these general website Terms.

32. Disputes

If a dispute arises, the customer and Handyman Can Help agree to first make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter directly.

Customers should provide Handyman Can Help with written notice describing the concern and a reasonable opportunity to investigate and, where appropriate, correct the issue before pursuing further remedies, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

33. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any legal proceeding arising from these Terms or services provided by Handyman Can Help will be handled in a court having proper jurisdiction under Florida law, subject to any different dispute-resolution provision contained in a separately signed agreement.

34. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

35. No Waiver

A delay or failure by Handyman Can Help to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.

36. Changes to These Terms

Handyman Can Help may update these Terms periodically.

Changes will become effective when the revised Terms are posted on the website with an updated "Last Updated" date, except that changes will not retroactively alter a signed project agreement unless permitted by law and agreed to by the parties.

37. Project-Specific Agreements Control

If an estimate, signed contract, work order, proposal, warranty, financing document, or other project-specific agreement conflicts with these general website Terms, the project-specific agreement will control with respect to that project, except to the extent prohibited by law.

38. Entire Agreement

For website use, these Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the general terms governing use of Handyman Can Help's website.

For services, these Terms together with the applicable estimate, proposal, work order, invoice, change order, and any other signed or accepted project-specific documents constitute the agreement between the parties regarding the applicable work.
