Bucktown Home Maintenance & Repair LLCArt has always been very responsive and affordable and we have used his services many times. He provides prompt, courteous and professional service and we recommend him to anyone who is in need of a handyman.
He is a good handyman. He came out and did what I asked him to do how I asked him to do it. He has been very responsive to me and he even came out early for the appointment. I give him all A's for his services.
SHE RESPONDED THAT EVERYONE HAS AN EMERGENCY AND THAT I JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE TRADES OPERATE. I LEFT MY TELEPHONE NUMBER, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RETURN CALL. I EVENTUALLY USED THE SERVICES OF A HANDYMAN AND WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH SERVICE QUALITY AND PRICE.
I’ve been running my own handyman business for about 4 years. I have work in most of the trades in my life. I have experience with roofing, plumbing, general repairs, and assembly of furniture. Estimates are always free.

Handyman business operating in Arlington Heights and the surround communities offering both senior and veteran discounts. I've always enjoyed working with my hands. When I was a little kid I was always taking apart things around the house, fortunately I was always able to put them back together. As I got older I took every shop class in high-school and when I joined the Army it was as a mechanic. I did take a 25 year detour as a designer in corporate America, however my joy was always working with my hands. Now I'm ready to make that my full time job and I'm hoping I can do that by working for you on whatever you may need help with. I've posted some samples of my work, but there is a whole lot more. Please feel free to message me at any time and I'll be glad to get the ball rolling on your next project.

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Tipping a handyman is not a requirement or necessarily expected, as they should build a fair wage into the price of the job. However, some people will tip a handyman around $10 to $20 per hour or the equivalent of a day’s pay, depending on the size of the job. But it’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping a handyman service, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip, it’s encouraged and will likely be received with thanks.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
