What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div>It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:<ul><li>Are you licensed and insured?</li><li>Do you have any references?</li><li>Will you provide a written estimate and contract?</li><li>How much do you expect materials to cost?</li><li>How long do you expect the project to take?</li><li>Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee for the job?</li></ul></div>

What services does a handyperson offer?

• <div>The appeal of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiring-quality-handyman-service.htm">hiring a handyperson</a> is two-fold: first, they usually cost less than hiring certified experts, and second, they complete a massive variety of projects, ranging from installing light fixtures and fixing plumbing leaks to refinishing wood floors and replacing doors in your home. Provided the job doesn’t require a specific license to complete—like a plumber’s license or electrician’s license—a handyperson will likely be able to tackle the work. Handypeople have a broad range of home improvement experience, so professionals can usually handle any project in your home that doesn’t need to be done by a licensed tradesperson.</div>

Q: Is it better to pay a contractor with a credit card or check?

• <div>Many contractors prefer checks because they&rsquo;re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).</div>

Q: Do contractors charge for meetings?

• <div>Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what&rsquo;s included in the process.</div>

Q: How much do handypeople services cost?

• <div>Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyman costs</a> around $400 per project, but the total could range from $65 to $1,500 or more, depending on the type of project and how long it takes. Most handypeople charge on a per-hour basis, usually around $90 per hour. Less experienced handypeople could charge as low as $40 per hour, while experts or highly experienced handypeople may charge up to $140 per hour. Here are some additional factors that affect your pricing:<ul><li>Amount of time the job takes</li><li>Difficulty level of the work</li><li>Material costs</li><li>Accessibility of the work area</li></ul></div>
