Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it’s not necessary to tip a contractor, as it’s not customary or expected from most home improvement, renovation, or construction professionals. However, if a worker goes above and beyond, stays late to meet a deadline, works on a holiday weekend, or gives you exceptional service, you might choose to tip them.

Almost all houses require soffits. The exception is in houses where you know without a shadow of a doubt there is adequate airflow throughout the entire house including, and most importantly, the attic. Almost all modern homes have soffits installed whether you notice them or not because on most homes, the roof eave extends beyond the walls of the home, naturally creating soffits.

The appeal of hiring a handyperson 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.

Cleaning a gutter, replacing fixtures such as a cabinet or light, and painting are common reasons to call a handyperson. You can also call on a handyperson for simple tasks, like assembling new furniture, and complex ones, such as installing a dishwasher. Overall, handypeople are ideal in all areas of home repair that do not require a specific certification, such as with plumbing, electrical, or structural issues.

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.
