I. PARTS & MATERIALS

If you purchase materials that you do not have the means of transport, we offer a "materials trip service" starting at $60 (price may vary based on location and size of order/load). Some jobs require materials that we do not keep in stock, such as sheetrock, lumber, etc. If we install an item in your home/business at your request, and you later decide that you would like the item removed, please note that a removal/restocking fee of $95 minimum will be billed to you, depending on degree of difficulty and time required for removal. If we can return the item, we will deduct that item from your invoice, but if the item is non-returnable, it will remain on your invoice In the event you provide the customer with the materials or fixtures and the materials or fixtures are defective, the customer will be responsible for the time and services that we provided, whether the job was able to be completed. If time in our schedule permits, the technician may swap out the fixture for the customer to complete the installation that day. In this instance the customer will be charged at our hourly rate of $95/hr. for any work or time over and above the requirements needed to complete the initial job we were hired for.
Sheet Rock/Drywall: If your job requires any sheetrock work, please be aware that Sheetrock installation and sanding produces fine, white dust. McCray’s Handyman Inc. team members will cover their immediate work area, but we advise that any nearby valuables and electronics are covered before sheetrock work begins. Please note that matching textures is not always easy and will be done to the best of our ability. Larger patch jobs are more likely to be seen to some degree.

Paint/Stain: If your job requires paint or stain, please be aware that matching paint is often difficult. Customers are responsible for providing the paint or stain color of their choice. If for any reason the paint or stain does not match once dried or you the customers are not happy with the color; McCray's Handyman will not be held responsible and full payment will still be required.

Water Faucet Use: We use the customer's water faucet, but it is not our fault if a faucet stays leaking afterwards. If a hose was connected for a very long time, it might have been damaged and after we leave the faucet it may start leaking. This is not our fault, if we notice any leaking while on the property, we will notify the homeowner right away.
