All 18 trades in one place, restoration, repair, remodeling, and maintenance for Gainesville homeowners. Each trade has its own dedicated local line.
Gainesville homeowners shouldn't need a rolodex of contractors. Rock Hands is the one number: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, restoration, remodeling, plus eleven more trades, all from a single network held to one fixed-right standard. One call, one dispatcher, done.
Florida's hurricanes, extreme humidity, and year-round heat make storm-proof roofing, water damage restoration, mold remediation, and air conditioning critical services. Our Gainesville pros build every estimate around those realities, the right materials, the right timing, no surprises.
How it works here: tap any trade below to reach its dedicated line, a real dispatcher answers, matches you with a vetted local pro, and you approve a free written estimate before any work starts. Free estimates, upfront written pricing, vetted licensed pros, and the guarantee: if it isn't right, we make it right.
Just moved to Gainesville, or just never hired a pro before? Start with whatever's most urgent, then keep the number.

Speed is tempting; getting it right pays. The wrong contractor doesn't just cost you once, you pay for their work, then you pay to undo it. Dispatchers hear the same stories from Gainesville, FL homeowners every day, so here's the checklist they wish people used before signing anything:
1. Verify the license, don't take their word for it. Ask for the license number and check it against Florida's licensing records. Licensed pros have passed exams, carry required insurance, and can be held accountable. Unlicensed operators vanish when problems surface.
2. Demand proof of insurance. General liability and workers' comp, current and in force. If a worker gets hurt on your property and there's no coverage, the liability can land on you. A real pro shows certificates without blinking.
3. Get the scope and price in writing. Verbal quotes evaporate. Your written estimate should spell out exactly what's included, what isn't, the materials being used, and the timeline. Every Rock Hands estimate comes this way, free, before work starts.
4. Never pay the full amount upfront. A deposit for materials is normal on big jobs; full payment before completion is a red flag. Milestone-based payments tied to finished work keep everyone honest.
5. Ask about the final walkthrough. A pro confident in their work wants you inspecting it. Our fixed-right guarantee means the job isn't done until you sign off, and if something isn't right, we come back and make it right.
6. Check how they handle surprises. Every home hides something, old wiring, rotted subfloor, a previous owner's creative plumbing. Ask upfront how change-orders work: are you notified before extra cost is incurred, and do you approve it in writing? Pros who answer clearly have done this before. Pros who dodge the question haven't, or worse, they profit from the ambiguity.
