"I had a variety of small handyman projects - replacing doorknobs, patching holes, fixing molding, etc. the guys were very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They took off their shoes to enter the hose, and did a great job, and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!"

"Very good. I had one small problem. They were going to clean the windows and screens. The man was trying to use a bucket of water instead of using a hose. They were a little off. They did have a man there overseeing the work. Very good overall. I do plan on using them again."

"Luis the handyman worked at my house on several different occasions. I found him to be remarkably skilled in many diverse areas, and he solved a great many problems. He is very knowledgeable, responsible, diligent, and hard-working. He takes pains to do the job right. Without question, I would not hesitate to hire him in the future, and in fact am arranging to do so."

"Ken was very easy to work with and obviously knows his business. He let us know promptly if he was running late on starting the project, and after that showed up on time and worked well until the project was completed. This was a tricky project, finishing work started by others, and using a limited supply of special wood trim. He was able to accomplish everything to our satisfaction and we would recommend him completely."

"I highly recommend K&C Home Services LLC! Jorge is very professional, friendly and expedient with responses, provided a very detailed estimate after doing a home visit to see what project I wanted done and scheduled the work within 2 weeks of our initial call. Santos on his team did excellent work on my home project and was very professional and friendly as well. I will certainly utilize K&C for future projects!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’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).

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.
