It’s important to have proper protection and insurance if you will be working on other people’s property. Insurance is meant for catastrophic problems and accidents, it’s not necessarily meant for breaking a lamp, or damaging drywall. Any proper handyman should just cover problems like that out of pocket to keep the customer happy.
If you are booking through an app like Taskrabbit then there is no insurance or coverage for damages. Taskrabbit has a satisfaction guarantee where they will simply refund your payment if you are dissatisfied with the job that was performed by your contractor. This is not ideal as Taskrabbit assumes all of its contractors have the proper insurance coverage and are capable to perform the job at hand.
You are going to pay more hourly by booking through Taskrabbit because they add on their service fees and built in advertising.
We love when you contact us directly or you work with us privately after we meet through Taskrabbit. This saves us both money and we can typically provide a cheaper hourly rate across any tasks. We accept venmo, zelle, or cash upon completion of our services.
Most importantly we have handyman insurance so you are fully protected.
You probably have heard about contactor bonding, or a bond related to home improvement, building, or contractor work. Bonds are in place specifically for large jobs in the tens of thousands of dollars. A bond simply means you can file a claim against it if your large project is never finished. Since our work is typically in the few hundred dollar range there is no need or requirement for a bond.
In summary TaninFix is fully insured for handyman work, but we are not bonded because we don’t take on large renovation or construction jobs.
