HANDYS.now is a referral service — not a party to the work.
HANDYS.NOW (Handys Handyman Services · LARGE LLC) is a referral service. It connects clients with independent handyman professionals. All work is performed by the independent professional — never by HANDYS.NOW. The service agreement for each job is exclusively between the client and the professional; HANDYS.NOW is not a party to it.
As a courtesy, HANDYS.NOW may take calls, schedule, prepare paperwork, and process payment on the professional’s behalf. None of that makes HANDYS.NOW a contractor, employer, partner, agent, or guarantor of the work. The client releases HANDYS.NOW, LARGE LLC, and their owners from any claim arising out of the work, except for HANDYS.NOW’s own willful misconduct.
This website is information only — it guarantees nothing.
Everything on this website — service descriptions, prices and timelines in the repair guides, photos, videos, and copy on every page — is general information. It is not an offer, a quote, a warranty, or a guarantee, and none of it is part of any job agreement. Nothing verbal, nothing from this website, and nothing implied is part of the deal.
The only agreement that exists is the written, signed proposal between the client and the handyman professional. If it is written in the proposal, it is part of the scope. If it is not written there, it is specifically not part of the scope. Changes happen only by written change order.
The written documents that govern every job.
Insurance & claims.
Each professional works under their own Commercial General Liability policy. A Certificate of Insurance is available on request and can be verified with the carrier listed on it. Any claim arising from the work is between the client and the professional and runs to that policy. HANDYS.NOW carries no policy for the work and is not a proper party to any claim.
Scope limits — licensed trades.
Handyman work does not include work Florida law reserves for licensed contractors — for example new electrical circuits, gas lines, structural changes, and major plumbing or HVAC work. Any such work is excluded unless written into a proposal as performed by an appropriately licensed subcontractor.
Existing conditions, concealed items & matching.
- No ongoing guarantee against recurrence. Homes keep aging — settling, moisture, sun, and prior work continue after a job is done. There is no ongoing guarantee against recurrence caused by underlying conditions the written scope did not correct.
- Concealed conditions. The client must disclose known pipes, wires, and lines before anchoring, cutting, drilling, or ground work (call 811 for anything buried). Damage to undisclosed or unmarked concealed items is not the responsibility of the professional or HANDYS.NOW.
- Matching is not guaranteed. Aged paint, discontinued tile, and sun-faded surfaces may not match new material exactly; the professional matches as closely as reasonably possible.
Payment & records.
Payment terms live in the written proposal. HANDYS.NOW may collect payment on the professional’s behalf when that is easier for the client. Jobs are photographed before, during, and after as documentation; the photos are the property of the professional and HANDYS.NOW.
Limitation of liability, disputes & governing law.
Except as expressly written in a signed proposal, no warranties or guarantees of any kind are made. The professional’s total liability is limited to the amount actually paid for the work, and neither the professional nor HANDYS.NOW is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — lost rent, lost use, relocation costs, or diminished value. These limits do not apply to willful misconduct. The agreement is governed by Florida law with venue in Sarasota County, Florida; in any action the prevailing party recovers reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
The Service Agreement — full text.
The agreement below, together with the written proposal (Part B), is the complete and controlling agreement for every job. It overrides any prior conversation, text, website content, or understanding.
C1 — HANDYS.NOW is a referral service — not a party
HANDYS.NOW (Handys Handyman Services · LARGE LLC) is a referral service. It connects clients with independent handyman professionals. All work is performed by the independent Professional — never by HANDYS.NOW. This agreement is exclusively between the Client and the Professional. HANDYS.NOW is not a party to it. As a courtesy, HANDYS.NOW may take calls, schedule, prepare paperwork, and process card payment on the Professional’s behalf. None of that makes HANDYS.NOW a contractor, employer, partner, agent, or guarantor of the work. The Client releases HANDYS.NOW, LARGE LLC, and their owners from any claim arising out of the work or this agreement, except for HANDYS.NOW’s own willful misconduct.
C2 — The parties
This agreement is between the independent handyman professional named on the cover and at the signature block (the “Professional”) and the Client (property owner, or property manager with authority to bind the owner). The Professional is in charge of the work.
C3 — Scope of services — writing governs
The scope of services is exactly what is described in the proposal (Part B). If it is in the proposal, it is part of the scope. If it is not in the proposal, it is specifically not part of the scope. Every repair, every material, every fixture, and every task must be written. Nothing verbal, nothing from the website, and nothing implied is part of the deal. This document is the overriding, guiding, and controlling agreement.
C4 — Subcontractors, equipment & staffing — the Professional’s call
How the job is staffed and equipped is the Professional’s decision alone. The Professional may bring in subcontractors, additional personnel, rented or sublet equipment, and third-party vendors as the work requires. No Client approval is required or implied. Anyone the Professional brings in works under the Professional and under this agreement and its limits (C14). HANDYS.NOW does not select, supervise, or employ anyone on the job and has no responsibility for staffing (C1).
C5 — Materials, paints & chemical products — in writing only
All paints, stains, sealants, adhesives, solvents, and cleaning chemicals must be named in the written proposal. If it is not written in the proposal, it is not part of the job. The Client is responsible for disclosing pets, allergies, wells, septic systems, and sensitive areas near any work or treatment area.
C6 — Matching existing materials & finishes
Repairs are made into existing surfaces. Paint fades, tile lots change, texture ages, and materials get discontinued. An exact match to aged or discontinued material is not promised unless written in the proposal. The Professional matches as closely as reasonably possible.
C7 — Existing conditions & no ongoing guarantee
Repairs are made to homes that keep aging. Settling, moisture, sun, humidity, and prior work continue after the job is done. The Professional performs the work written in the proposal — but there can be no ongoing guarantee against recurrence caused by underlying or pre-existing conditions the written scope did not correct. That must be understood going in.
C8 — Concealed conditions & property access
The Client provides safe access and clears furniture, vehicles, and valuables from the work area. The Client must disclose all known concealed lines before work — pipes, wires, irrigation, septic, gas, electric, cable, and anything hidden in walls, floors, ceilings, or ground that a cut, drill, anchor, or post hole could hit. Damage to undisclosed or unmarked concealed items is not the responsibility of the Professional or HANDYS.NOW.
C9 — Permits, HOA & condo rules
Unless written into the proposal, the Client is responsible for required permits and permit fees, HOA or condo-association approvals, building access rules, and any certificate-of-insurance requirements the building imposes.
C10 — Scope limits — licensed trades
Handyman work does not include work Florida law reserves for licensed contractors — for example new electrical circuits, gas lines, structural changes, and major plumbing or HVAC work. Any such work is excluded unless written in the proposal as performed by an appropriately licensed subcontractor.
C11 — Insurance & claims
The work is performed under the Professional’s Commercial General Liability policy. A Certificate of Insurance is available on request and can be verified with the carrier listed on it. Any claim arising from the work is between the Client and the Professional and runs to that policy. HANDYS.NOW carries no policy for the work and is not a proper party to any claim (C1).
C12 — Payment, deposits & change orders
Payment in full is due on completion unless a deposit or schedule is written in Part B. If payment is not made when due, the Professional may stop work until it is paid. All scope changes require a written change order, which may adjust price and schedule.
C13 — Job photography & records
The job is photographed as part of the work — before, during, and after. The photos serve as reference material and documentation for the job and are kept in the Professional’s and HANDYS.NOW’s records. The photos are the property of the Professional and HANDYS.NOW.
C14 — Limitation of liability
Except as expressly written here, no warranties or guarantees of any kind are made. Work is performed to a professional standard for the scope written in Part B. The Professional’s total liability is limited to the amount actually paid for the work. Neither the Professional nor HANDYS.NOW is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — lost rent, lost use, relocation costs, or diminished value. These limits do not apply to willful misconduct.
C15 — Disputes & governing law
This agreement is governed by Florida law, with venue in Sarasota County, Florida. The Client and the Professional will attempt good-faith resolution before other remedies. In any action arising from this agreement, the prevailing party recovers reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
