"My wife and I recently bought a home and had a long list of things we'd like to do. James at Ranch Hands was an amazing resource to talk through the list, help us prioritise, and to give us options. The work itself was done to an incredibly high standard (thank you James, Logan, and team) and it was obvious to me that so much care, attention, and respect was put into the work. I recommend Ranch Hands Construction without reservation and plan to work with them again in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"My fence had blown down in a recent storm and I didn't want my dogs getting out. All American came out promptly and gave me a quote that day and started the following Monday. The service was very well done and completed in one day. The owner was very polite and easy to work with. I am looking forward to them coming out and pressure washing my patio and decks. I would recommend this service."

"Elvis and his team were wonderful to work with. They were efficient, professional, and accommodating. The quality of their work is outstanding. They made minor adjustments to the plan at our request and couldn’t have been nicer about it. Elvis wrote out a detailed list of materials with his quote to let us know exactly where the money was going. On a personal level, Elvis has terrific communication skills. He answered all our questions and considered our needs. He is a delight guy to work with. We are so happy with new beautiful deck which has added to the space and enjoyment of our home."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

In most states, handypeople do not need to be licensed to perform simple home repair tasks and smaller jobs. When projects exceed specific cost amounts, however, ranging from $500 in California to $50,000 in other states, some municipalities consider them to be contractors, meaning they need to be licensed. To learn if your handyperson should be licensed to work on your job, contact your local governing body or state contractors’ licensing board before starting any work.

You can find a reliable handyperson by looking at professionals in your area and ruling out companies with poor reviews online. Next, check each handyperson on the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a history of complaints and rule out those that do. Finally, you can contact each handyperson to ask the following qualifying questions:

  • What is your hourly rate?

  • Are there any jobs you can’t tackle?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do you have references I can contact?

There are a few advantages to hiring a handyperson as a contractor, namely that they will likely charge less for their services since they don’t have as much overhead. A handyperson might also have more flexibility and be more involved in your specific home project, so you can communicate with one person instead of a subcontractor team.

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.
