"Dylan from All in One Handyman did a great job and paid great attention to detail. The entire interior of my house was painted, holes were patched, new doors were hung, a sink and faucet was replaced a large tv was hung, a bathroom mirror as well and I was able to add little extras along the way. I’m very happy with how my home turned out and would use this company again."

"He really nice and has creative way to solve a problem. I wanted to installed a exhaust fan in the mater bathroom at the 2nd floor. All other handymans require to cut opening in the exterior wall and interior wall electrical work, but he recommended to use the exist attic opening and chose the fan with remote to avoid work in the dry wall. End up no work on the drywall and minimum work on the ceiling. - He is also very patience and keep me on progress, he is willing to send progress photos before he close up anything while I am not home (at work). The project end up very nice and clean. I highly recommend get a quote from first before proceed, maybe he have a creative way to solve your problems to save construction cost."

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.

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’s included in the process.

While handypeople do not need to be licensed in many places, you should only hire insured pros for any home improvement work. Your handyperson should have active liability coverage that protects them and you in the case of an error or accident. Furthermore, if they have employees on your property, they should also have workers’ compensation insurance. If you hire an individual or a company that is not insured and they damage your property, have an accident while on the job, or become injured on your property without insurance, you can be held financially liable.

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.
