"Excellent. I reached out to Ivan late Sunday afternoon, the day before a holiday. He called me right back and came right over! He was very professional, courteous and the price was great. We needed to change air conditioners to fit the window. We purchased the correct one and he came over at 8am on a Holiday and installed the unit!. I would highly recommend Ivan for handyman services and will be using him regularly for my home improvement needs Bianca Q."

"Great experience with this handyman. He installed a new light for me, fixed another light that wasn’t working, and helped sort out a couple of electrical issues around the house. He showed up on time, worked quickly, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Everything is working perfectly now. Super easy to work with, fair price, and very professional. I’d definitely recommend him and will call him again if I need help with anything else."

"Jose was outstanding. He was very thorough in his approach and talked through all the options and considerations with us in advance of installing two of our TVs on wall mounts. He first came to do an assessment to get a better sense of what the job would entail and then quoted us a fair price. The job ended up taking longer than the initially quoted time, but he held true to the quoted price. He sent us pictures at various stages to ensure we were happy with the result. Would highly recommend Jose for TV mounting and other jobs."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Almost all houses require soffits. The exception is in houses where you know without a shadow of a doubt there is adequate airflow throughout the entire house including, and most importantly, the attic. Almost all modern homes have soffits installed whether you notice them or not because on most homes, the roof eave extends beyond the walls of the home, naturally creating soffits.

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?

If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.
