Need a Handyman? We Finally Decided to Make It Official.\n\nSure, we're "new" to the handyman business... but only because we've spent the last 7 years flipping houses instead of printing business cards.\n\nWe've repaired, replaced, installed, painted, patched, and occasionally stared at a project wondering, "Who on earth did this?" (Then we fixed it.)\n\nWhether it's a leaky faucet, squeaky door, drywall repair, trim work, light fixtures, flooring, or that ever-growing honey-do list, we've probably tackled it before—just in houses we owned.\n\nWhy choose us?\n\n7 years of real, hands-on home renovation experience\nHonest work at fair prices\nWe show up when we say we will (crazy concept, we know)\nWe treat your home like it's one of our flips—minus the "For Sale" sign.\n\nDon't let that little repair become tomorrow's expensive repair. Give us a call, and we'll get it fixed right the first time.\n\nBecause duct tape is a temporary solution... no matter what your uncle says.

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).

Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.

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.

Rates vary by task complexity and time, often providing cost-effective solutions for homeowners.

You can find a reliable handyperson by looking at professionals in your area and ruling out companies with poor reviews online. Next, check each handyperson on the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a history of complaints and rule out those that do. Finally, you can contact each handyperson to ask the following qualifying questions:

  • What is your hourly rate?

  • Are there any jobs you can’t tackle?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do you have references I can contact?

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.
