Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

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.

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. 

It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have any references?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

  • How long do you expect the project to take?

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

  • Do you provide a guarantee for the job?
