Frequently Asked Questions

We do all kinds of work that do not require licensing or permitting. We specialize in small to mid-size jobs including painting, drywall repair, grab bar and aging-in-place installations, flooring, tile, furniture assembly, and general installations. While we don't hold plumbing or electrical licenses, we can handle basic replacements like ceiling fans, faucets, drains, and garbage disposals.

We are a registered business with the Colorado Secretary of State. We do not hold a General Contractor's, plumber's, electrician's, or similar license. We only perform work that does not require licensing or permitting, so you never have to worry about unpermitted work.

Yes. Dad's Handyman CoS carries general liability insurance, workers' compensation, a surety bond, and comprehensive vehicle coverage. You can hire us with confidence knowing your home and our team are fully protected.

Yes. Dad's Handyman CoS is proudly veteran-owned, founded by Army veteran Cameron Tinker in 2022 while he was still on active duty. Cameron retired from the U.S. Army in 2024 after 22 years of service. The same discipline, reliability, and attention to detail he brought to his military career drives how we operate every day.

We proudly serve Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities including Monument, Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, Tri-Lakes, Northgate, Briargate, Black Forest, Gleneagle, Jackson Creek, Flying Horse, Powers, and Fountain. We can also work outside our regular service area — an additional fee will apply to cover the technician's travel time.

Our regular business hours are Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, which is when our team is scheduling and completing jobs. If you reach out outside those hours, the fastest way to get in touch is through our contact form on this site — we check it regularly and will get back to you as soon as we're back online. For true emergencies (an active water leak, a safety hazard, something that needs to be stopped immediately to prevent damage or injury), give us a call — we'll do what we can to help stop the immediate problem, with the full repair scheduled during normal business hours.

Scheduling availability varies by season — summers tend to be our busiest time. Generally speaking, smaller jobs (less than a full day) can often be scheduled within the following week, depending on your flexibility. Larger projects typically book out one to two weeks. The best way to get on the schedule quickly is to reach out early and have a few date options in mind.

We warrant our labor to be free of defects for one (1) year from the date of completion. This warranty covers labor only and excludes materials, customer-supplied materials, and any damage resulting from misuse, neglect, or modification after completion.

We ask that cancellations and reschedules be made as far in advance as possible — we understand life happens and will work with you when we can. Cancellations made more than 48 hours before your appointment won't incur any charges, and deposits may be refunded if materials haven't been purchased. Changes within 48 hours or no-shows may incur a fee of up to 50% of the service cost and will forfeit any deposit. This helps us protect the time we've reserved for you.
