These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, services, and communications. By using our website or booking any service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please refrain from using our website or services.

2. About iB Handy

iB Handy is a licensed handyman service offering residential and light commercial repairs, maintenance, installations, and general improvement projects. Owner Isaac Buchannan operates under a handyman license, providing lawful services within the scope allowed by state and local laws. For any work requiring specialized or additional licenses—such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or major construction—iB Handy refers customers to qualified and specialty-licensed contractors to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.

3. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using iB Handy’s website or services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding legal agreement. Your continued use constitutes acceptance of all current and future Terms and related policies, including our Privacy Policy.

4. Modification of Terms

We may modify or update these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted on our website with an updated ‘Last Revised’ date. Your continued use of our site or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.

5. Scope of Services

iB Handy provides general handyman services, including home maintenance, installations, painting, carpentry, furniture assembly, and minor repairs. We do not perform services requiring trade-specific licenses unless we subcontract that portion of the job to a licensed specialist. This ensures compliance with safety, building, and professional standards under Texas law and applicable local regulations.

6. Appointments and Estimates

Service requests may be submitted through our website, email, or phone. All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation. Estimates are based on information provided by the customer and may change following an on-site inspection. Prices, timelines, and materials may vary depending on project complexity and unforeseen conditions.

7. Payments and Invoicing

Payment for services is due upon completion unless otherwise agreed in writing. Accepted forms of payment include cash, check, or secure digital payments through approved processors. We use PCI-compliant systems to protect your financial information. Late payments may incur fees, and failure to pay may result in suspension of services or legal recovery actions.

8. Cancellations and Rescheduling

You may cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours’ notice. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation fee. iB Handy reserves the right to reschedule work due to weather, emergencies, or equipment issues.

9. User Responsibilities

By engaging iB Handy, you agree to provide accurate project information and safe access to your property. You must ensure that utilities, structures, and work areas are safe and accessible for our technicians and subcontractors. Misrepresentation of conditions or scope may result in additional charges or service refusal.

10. Licensed Work and Specialty Referrals

iB Handy performs only work permitted under a general handyman license. We do not claim to hold specialty trade licenses. If a service requires a licensed electrician, plumber, or HVAC technician, we will refer that portion of the job to a qualified specialty contractor. This approach ensures all work complies with applicable building codes and safety standards.

11. Liability for Third-Party Contractors

When we refer you to a specialty-licensed professional, that contractor operates independently and assumes full responsibility for their work. iB Handy is not liable for damages, warranties, or outcomes related to work performed by independent contractors. We may coordinate project scheduling but do not supervise or guarantee third-party workmanship.
