"Nikko is my go-to guy for smaller projects. Most recently he helped change my shed door into a man door for my she shed. Service is always great, he’s very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend!"

"This is the 2nd time that I used Shawn's services. His skill set really extends far beyond what most handymen offer. The quality of his work is excellent and he approaches each job with an honest appraisal and a strong work ethic. I certainly have no qualms about giving him access to my home when I am not there. He is very much in demand so it isn't easy to schedule time with him but he shows up when he says he will or calls to reschedule if he gets hung up. His rates are fair but not cheap and you get quality work that he will stand by."

Handyman Services FAQs, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
