I finally found a handyman who has been great -- does a good job at a very reasonable price. However, he's unlicensed & uninsured...has his own little "business" with little business cards and everything, but apparently not official in any way -- I doubt he would know the Florida Dept of Revenue's contact information, for example :).
Anyway, he has roofing experience and I'm tempted to use him for some roofing repairs that our rental desparately needs. However, roofing is more dangerous than a lot of other repairs and couldn't I be held liable if he hurts himself? Is there anyway I could protect myself from liability in the event that he hurts someone or is negligent and someone else gets hurt during the job? Perhaps a waiver or something? If you strongly recommend I steer clear of him for the roof, what exactly do I need to see from a potential repairman (independent contractor) to be sure I won't be held liable?
