Big difference between a contractor and a handyman. I have had better luck with contractors, although there is more at stake. I checked out the work the contractor did for others and talked with his customers to see how satisfied they were with his performance.
Most of the handymen I have hired are living on the edge. Reliability is a major issue. I have had one for the last year that seems loyal, but there are always issues as to when he does the work.

Removing vynal floors is time consuming and that equals more labor , more $$. I would buy the vynal squares and put on top of existing floor after you give it a very good clean to remove all dirt and grease. They are very easy to install, takes very little time, most any one can do it. For tenants will be the right thing to do, save you money and time. I did a ceramic floor to a large area,kitchen and breakfast nook as well as three bathrooms, when tenants moved out I had to replace 27 tiles that they had been broken. So you choose which one you want.
I have never dealt with an insurance company that would not refund. In fact, I had forgotten to notify the insurance company that I sold a property last year. I discovered this when I began receiving renewal notices for insurance. I called my agent and she had me submit the HUD-1 from the sale and I expect to get a refund.

References, license, and insurance. Be sure to see copies of license and insurance, be sure to check references and view prior work.
When I hire a contractor or handman, what type of contract should I use a just in case they to sue me
example.... if they left their tools in house and someone broke in or they got hurt on the job. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I agree with Konte. Invest your money in the 2nd home.
thanks so much for the reassurance of my own inclinations. You guys are great!!!
Sounds like a 50/50 deal to me.
Thanks Beachmaster. Anyone else willing to share their thoughts?
Not all policys operate that way. The one I use does and it takes forever to get the unused part back. Check with your insurance agent.

Is it a (your) home or a rental?
It was a flip. Owned it just over 3 months. I just got off the phone with my agent who tells me I have a nice refund coming!
Good. Remember to check the earned premium clauses on those non-owner occupied-type policies...
