General Questions About Absolute Repair LLC
Q: Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
Absolute Repair LLC is based in Greensburg, Pennsylvania (15601). Our primary service area is Greensburg and surrounding communities in Westmoreland County. For some jobs we may travel a bit farther, but every project is evaluated individually.
Q: What kinds of services do you offer?
We provide a mix of handyman and home services, including:
- Handyman repairs within legal, non-permit limits (drywall, minor carpentry, caulking, etc.)
- Home cleaning (move-in, move-out, and lived-in cleanups)
- Low-moisture carpet cleaning (no steam extraction)
- Junk removal & light hauling for household-sized loads
- Basic tech & small appliance help for certain simple, safe issues
- One-time handyman & cleaning packages built from AI photo estimates
We do not perform large remodels, major structural work, or specialized trade work that clearly requires a licensed electrician, plumber, HVAC technician, roofer, or similar contractor.
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Absolute Repair LLC is a licensed and insured home-improvement / handyman business in Pennsylvania. We operate with appropriate insurance and follow Pennsylvania home-improvement rules for contracts, advertising, and deposits within our scope. We stay inside the limits of what a handyman-type business is allowed to do.
Q: Do you work 24/7 or offer emergency services?
We are a scheduled service business, not an emergency-response company. We primarily work standard business days and hours. If you have an emergency or a situation involving immediate danger (fire, gas smell, major leak, structural collapse, etc.), you should contact emergency services or appropriate licensed professionals, not a handyman.
AI Photo Estimates & Pricing
Q: How do your AI photo estimates work?
We ask you to text clear photos of your project to 878-786-0091 along with your name, service address, and a short description of what you want done. We then use AI-assisted tools to help read the photos (size, layout, visible damage, stains, clutter, etc.) and combine that with our real-world experience in Greensburg homes to create a written estimate just for you.
The AI does not replace human judgment – it simply helps us see more from your photos. We still confirm everything on-site before major work begins.
Q: Do you have a price list or flat-fee menu?
No. We do not publish flat-fee price menus such as “$X per room,” “$X per hole,” “$X per truckload,” or “$X whole house.” We also do not sell open-ended hourly “time blocks” like “3 hours of handyman” with no clear scope. Every job is priced from a custom written estimate based on your AI-reviewed photos and description.
Q: Why don’t you post standard prices on the website?
Because two homes with the “same number of rooms” can be completely different in size, damage, furniture, and cleaning level. Public flat fees can be misleading. We believe it is more honest to say: “Send photos and we will tell you what it realistically takes.”
Q: Can I just pay you by the hour until my budget runs out?
Our main model is not open-ended hourly work. We want a written scope and estimate so you know what is being done and why. In some limited situations, we may reference time when explaining how we reached a price, but the job itself is still tied to a written description of work, not a vague time block.
Q: What if the AI estimate is off?
That’s exactly why we confirm everything on-site. If your photos did not show hidden issues (for example, rot behind siding, heavy buildup behind furniture, deeper stains, etc.), we pause, explain, and go over any necessary changes with you before continuing. AI is a tool – we never rely on it blindly.
Deposits, Payments & Online Pay
Q: Why do you require deposits, even if there are no materials?
Deposits are how we reserve time for your project. Even if your job uses little or no material, we are still scheduling labor, planning travel, and turning away other work to hold that slot. Deposits help protect both you and us from no-shows and last-minute cancellations.
Q: How much is the deposit?
The deposit amount is always listed on your written estimate or invoice. It may be a flat dollar amount or a percentage of the project, depending on the scope. We do not take random deposits with no paperwork – the deposit is tied to a written estimate for a real job.
Q: How do I pay my deposit or remaining balance?
Our primary online payment method is Cash App. You can pay using:
- Cash App Tag: $Handymanpa
- Or by clicking the secure button below
In the payment note, please always include your name, service address, and your estimate or job number so we can apply the payment correctly.
PAY NOW – Cash App $HandymanpaQ: When is the remaining balance due?
Unless your paperwork says otherwise, the remaining balance is typically due when the agreed work is substantially completed. If weather, materials, or other factors force us to break the job into phases, we will explain how that affects payment timing in advance.
Scheduling, Cancellations & Rescheduling
Q: How do I schedule an appointment?
First, send photos and basic information. After we provide a written estimate and you approve it, we agree on a date and time window, and, when required, receive your deposit. That is when your appointment is considered reserved.
Q: Do you give exact arrival times?
We schedule using time windows (for example, 9–12 or 12–3). Traffic, weather, and job conditions can affect the exact arrival time. We do our best to keep you updated and to respect your schedule.
Q: What if I need to reschedule?
Please contact us as early as possible. In many cases, we can move your deposit to a new date as long as you give reasonable notice and we are able to rework the schedule. Exact details may be written into your estimate or invoice.
Q: What happens if I cancel last minute or I’m not home?
If we arrive and cannot start work because there is no access, no adult present, or the job is completely different from what was described, the appointment may be treated as a cancellation. Part or all of your deposit may be used as a cancellation fee to cover travel and lost time. We explain these rules up front so there are no surprises.
Legal & Safety Limits – What We Do and Don’t Do
Q: Do you pull permits or handle major construction?
No. We operate as a handyman and home-services business. We focus on projects that do not require building permits and stay in the lane of small to medium repairs, maintenance, and cosmetic improvements. For major structural work, large remodels, or projects that clearly require permits, we recommend hiring a licensed general contractor or specialist.
Q: Do you work on electrical, gas, or HVAC systems?
We may handle very minor, low-risk tasks that fall within typical handyman limits, but we do not perform complex or high-voltage electrical work, gas line work, or major HVAC repairs. If your project clearly needs a licensed electrician, plumber, gas fitter, or HVAC contractor, we will tell you instead of taking it on.
Q: Will you handle hazardous waste or serious biohazard cleaning?
No. We do not remove hazardous materials, large-scale biohazards, or major hoarding situations. We focus on normal residential junk, clutter, and routine cleaning. If specialized crews or environmental services are needed, we recommend those instead.
Cleaning, Carpet & Junk Removal – Common Questions
Q: Do you offer steam carpet cleaning?
No. We offer low-moisture carpet cleaning only, focused on surface-level soil and freshening. We do not perform full hot-water extraction or flood-type water removal.
Q: Will you empty my whole house of junk for one flat price?
We offer junk removal & light hauling based on your photos and a written estimate – not one-size-fits-all “$X per truckload” menus. Pricing is based on volume, access, weight, and dump fees where applicable.
Q: How clean will my house be after one visit?
That depends on your starting point and the scope we agree on. We do everything we reasonably can within the written estimate and the time and budget that match your photos and priorities. Some situations may need more than one visit, especially if there is heavy buildup, clutter, or long-term neglect.
Warranty, Refunds & Paperwork
Q: Do you offer warranties on your work?
Certain services may come with a limited workmanship warranty, which will be stated directly on your estimate or invoice. Normal wear and tear, misuse, new damage, or pre-existing conditions are not covered. For full details, please refer to our separate Warranty page and the specific language in your paperwork.
Q: What is your refund or cancellation policy?
Our refund and cancellation rules depend on the type of job, how close we are to the scheduled date, and whether materials or special planning were involved. We will reference our Refund / Cancellation Policy and your estimate if a refund or reschedule is requested. In all cases, we aim to be fair based on the time and costs already committed.
Q: Will I get everything in writing?
Yes. You will receive a written estimate and, when applicable, additional written terms for deposits, payment plans, or warranties. For qualifying home-improvement projects, we follow Pennsylvania requirements for written contracts and clear disclosures within our scope as a handyman and home-services business.
