Handyman doing light plumbing, electrical, moving, assembly, and general home repair. No remodeling or construction. I've been doing many types of repairs for over 30 years. Prompt response and on time to job sites.

"Mike has been an excellent friend and worker for me. I'm so thankful to have found him to take charge of returning a rental house into a prospective home to list on the market. He does great work, responds and communicates well. He's surprised me on a couple of occasions by taking care of some items I thought would require many more dollars to hire a contractor. I didn't mention I live 2,000 miles away from the rental, so it's been a godsend to have Mike onboard. Great guy, does great work."

Welcome! Santos Construction LLC is a family operated company with over 15 years of combined experience in the residential construction area. We are known for providing the very best quality and professional services to the suburbs and Chicagoland area. We specialize in interior and exterior remodeling services such as: Interior Remodeling • Complete Framing • Additions • Dormers • Trim work • Doors • Complete Kitchens • Complete Bathrooms • Drywall • Painting • Subflooring/Flooring Exterior Remodeling • Siding • Hardie Board • Fascia • Soffit •Window installation • Window Capping • Deck/Porch Work • Garages • Sidewalks Shoot me a message or give me a call for any questions Best regards, Jose Soto -President of Santos Construction, LLC

"I began the project on Angi to switch out 2 old bathroom faucets for new ones. I explained the scope of the project in my angi query but also individually to Jose, owner of Santos construction, once he reached out. He provided me a fair price of 300 and we agreed to schedule the work for Monday, October 27. On that date, he was hours late and arrived around 8pm. I had the new faucets, and supply line kits set out for him and he got to work. The installation of the new faucets took about 2-3 hours. I paid him via personal check for the agreed amount and he left. He left quite a mess in the bathroom, a trash can full of water, and used 2 entire rolls of toilet paper to soak up some mess which were also left aside for me to pick up. It wasn't a huge deal but I wish he would have communicated the need for towels, paper towels or that he'd left a mess. The next day, Tuesday, I texted him at 7:30am because one of the faucets was dripping heavily and consistently all night long. He responded that he would return on Saturday. Saturday came and Jose said he was held up and could not come to fix the dripping faucet but could come Monday. I was growing irritated with the week of a leaking faucet and concerned about the wasted water and expense but we scheduled his return for monday evening. Monday evening Jose texted that he could not come. I suggested the next day and he said he couldn't return until Thursday. I expressed my concerns about my water bill and how delaying the correction of the issue was a problem. He committed to coming Thursday and said he wasn't sure why is was leaking because the valves were closed. On Tuesday morning, we realized that the other sink had been leaking profusely underneath, into the cabinet. Many toiletries and small appliances had sat in water for a week and were ruined. I immediately contacted Jose and asked him to return to fix both of his installations that day. I said I couldn't wait until Thursday with this major leak. He said he couldn't come but would come Thursday or try for Wednesday night. I contacted a plumber because I was concerned about the water leaking into rhe cabinet, and potentially the floor beneath them. The plumber found that one faucet had a peice of plastic and Styrofoam in it which caused the dripping and the other faucet had a valve left loose and open causing the major leak and subsequent damage. The cost of the plumber to fix the major errors by Santos Construction was $379.00! I contacted Jose and sent him the invoice from the plumber. I asked him to refund me what I paid to him so that I could apply it to the cost to fix his work. He refused and said there was no reason to contact a plumber since he was going to come back in the next day or so. I explained that he wa scheduled to return 3 times and the issues were worsening, and that I couldn't let water keep leaking into the cabinet, floor, and ceiling below while hoping he comes back. I would like Jose to refund me the $300 I paid him so that I can apply that to the $379.00 cost of the plumber to correct his apprentice or novice level errors. Both of the leaks, damage to our things and extra costs to plumber, were completely preventable had he not been negligent the night he installed them."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

The type of contractor to install a washer and dryer connection can be a local handyperson or one who offers plumbing services. You might also need to find an electrician near you to help install the correct outlets.

For a gas dryer, the type of contractor to run a gas line is either a local plumber or an HVAC specialist near you.

Aside from a professional light installation company, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they’re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.

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.

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

The biggest benefit of hiring a handyperson over DIY is guaranteeing they’ll do the project correctly. This might save money in the long run and prevent future issues from arising. Hiring a handyperson also saves you the hassle of doing the job yourself. Finally, some projects pose safety risks, so hiring an experienced pro is much safer.
