Hambleton Handyman is a family business known for combining expert craftsmanship and simple pricing to give their customers a better home repair and renovation experience. The team is excited to be expanding its presence in the Charlotte area.
The company’s story started in Northern Virginia, when the Hambletons’ home and kitchen remodel business kept receiving requests from customers to offer handyman services after the renovations were complete. And so, in 2014, they opened the handyman business with the goal to offer high-end repairs without the high-end costs. Hambleton Handyman is now a thriving company with offices and staff in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina.
Better Home Repairs Start with the Right Team
The things that set Hambleton Handyman apart from other handyman companies are the rigorous hiring process, hourly pricing model and emphasis on service and relationship.
“We are very picky with our hiring process,” shared Scheduling Manager James Salmon. “We look for quality people who know how to communicate well, present themselves professionally and make a good first impression.”
“It can take a long time to find and train the right people,” Salmon continued. “But, we would rather invest in building a team, and we tell our craftsmen to focus on building relationships.”
Hambleton prides itself on hiring craftsmen who, when combined, provide a large range of skills and abilities. Their craftsmen are multi-talented professionals with decades of experience, and together, their team can handle any job, no matter how big or small. Carpentry, drywall, painting, patching, plumbing and electrical work are all within the team’s capabilities.
Their emphasis on excellent service is what customers love most. Rather than approach each job as a single opportunity to upcharge and finish the work quickly, Hambleton focuses on the client relationship just as much as the home project.
“We want to be called back again and again to help, to be a company you can trust,” Salmon said.
Founded to Solve Your Problems, Without the Surprise Fees
When Hambleton Handyman was founded, the primary goal was to reenvision a handyman company that could take on any job. Part of making that possible was sorting out how to put a price on such a wide range of services.
Instead of quoting by the project and charging more on materials, Hambleton charges by the hour. Clients are given the control and flexibility to add or remove work, based on the clients’ budgets and Hambleton’s performance.
There is a flat rate for the first hour, no matter how big or small the project, and then a lower, hourly rate for the rest of the project. Materials are charged at cost, and every customer benefits from the discounts Hambleton receives from local stores.
While the craftsman is at your home, he can work on a wide variety of services. Some people simply have the craftsman knock out a huge list of small to-dos, like hanging pictures, installing light fixtures or making minor drywall repairs. Others have their craftsman pause working on one, bigger project to help tackle smaller issues that arise.
“People love the convenience,” shared one of Hambleton’s craftsmen. “They feel relieved that they are able to take care of issues as they come up without being shocked by a big surprise bill.”
Knocking Out To-Do Lists and Wishlists with Ease
“Hambleton Handyman was born from listening to the needs of our clients,” shares Michael Accettullo, regional service manager of the Carolinas.
This means that no job is too small or too specialized. When a Hambleton craftsman arrives at your house, he stays until the job is done and you are happy with the outcome. If something arises he cannot handle, another craftsman is sent who has the necessary expertise.
“Some of our most-used services are carpentry and drywall work, along with addressing and repairing wood rot,” Accettullo said. “We regularly do full kitchen and bathroom remodels and tile work. Being able to make many clients’ dream home transformation become reality is the best part of the job.”
Get Ahead of the Seasonal Shifts
Now is the perfect time to invest in energy-efficient home upgrades, ahead of the cold winter months. Repairs such as replacing your sliding glass doors, resealing windows or fixing leaky pipes can help cut down on your monthly energy bills and prevent worse damage.
