"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!"

"It went okay, it was not great. The service they did was okay but I was not happy with the wait time. They over extended themselves. They put on a bargain deal and many people bought the deal. It was window & gutter cleaning but I had to have my gutters cleaned because I could not wait. I called Angie's List to get out of the deal but you encouraged me to get the deal. I had 21 windows to clean but he should have given me credit for the gutters. I called them and they never called me back. Angies List should have respected my decision. What I wanted most was my gutters cleaned. When they came in they said I had double windows but the bathroom window wasn't double. I should have gotten me a disount since I had another person for the gutters. They did a nice job on the windows but I would not use them again. They were punctual when they finally made the appointment."

"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 questions, answered by experts

While a handyperson will do the odd small job for your home, a maintenance person is responsible for conducting regular inspections and repairs. Maintenance people may come in to do small fixes and diagnose any issues you might be facing, but may not have all the same technical abilities as a handyperson.

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.

A big resounding yes, hiring a contractor is 100% worth it. They bring expertise, manage permits, coordinate professions in different trades, and help avoid costly mistakes. A pro can keep your project on budget and schedule while ensuring quality work that adds value to your home.

Before hiring a handyperson, it's important to ask several questions to ensure they are the right fit for the job. Key areas to cover include their experience, logistics, and job specifics.

Experience and Qualifications:

  • What kind of work do you specialize in?

  • How long have you been doing this kind of work?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have references?

  • Can you provide before-and-after photos of your work?

Estimates and Contracts:

  • Do you charge for estimates?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • Does the estimate cover both labor and materials?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

Project Details and Guarantees:

  • When can you start the job, and how long do you expect it to take?

  • Do you provide a guarantee for your work?

  • Will you handle cleanup and waste disposal after the job is finished?

  • Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

Reviewing your contract for termination terms is best when ending a relationship with a contractor. If there is nothing in the contract or you had a verbal agreement, communicate your decision in writing, citing specific reasons. Afterward, pay for the completed work per your original agreement. Remember you want a record of all correspondence in case you need a lawyer later to settle disputes.
