"Very professional and honest, would absolutely hire again. Not only did they provide great work for a reasonable rate, (especially compared to some others I spoke with) they cleaned up afterwards and were very friendly. One of those contractor/specialists you actually feel like you can trust not to take advantage. Would absolutely hire again, and recommended to my father in law for projects at his house."

"Abo was very efficient and pleasant. It got this done in about 2-1/2 hours. It would of taken me days. I had hired 7 handymen through wayfair and all bailed on me. Thank you Angie's for finding Abo for me."

"Garcia was a great handyman, a one man machine in getting repairs and roof work done in a professional and timely manner. I appreciate the job he did in helping restore the fascia at my parents home and not damaging the gutters and putting them back, making sure to clean everything up as well. Will consider him for other work in the future."

"I hired John to work on my deck. He came and measured, sanded, and stained it in a timely manner. He even went and got all the supplies and brought different paint samples to choose from. The deck looks fantastic. He did such a good job that I hired him 2 more times. Once to fix the fan in my daughter’s bathroom and an electrical circuit that kept going out. He fixed both issues perfectly!! I would highly recommend John for any job you have at your home!!"

"I hired Crowbar Construction to replace a large concrete staircase that was falling apart. This was not a small job, and access to heavy equipment was limited. But, Scott figured out the best solution with little to no damage to the grass. He was hands on with the entire process; form the initial estimate, providing a detailed diagram of the new stairs to me and the village, and obtaining all permits. He answered all my questions and concerns with lots of patients ( I had many questions). When it was time to pour the new stairs, Scott and his crew worked quickly, efficiently, were very detail oriented. I deal with many contractors, Scott was one of the nicest, respectful, and helpful contractors that I ve ever used. He and his crew went above and beyond the job. The stairs came out fabulous. I think a tornado could come through, and they still would be standing. I would recommend Crowbar Construction to anyone that needs concrete work done at a great price. Let Scott Miller from Crowbar Construction be your first and last call for all your home needs. Thanks Scott and crew!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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). 

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.

To install or move washer and dryer hookups, you will likely need a combination of professionals. A plumber can handle the water supply lines and drain pipes. If you have a gas dryer, a plumber certified for gas lines or an HVAC specialist will be needed to run the gas line. An electrician is required to install the correct electrical outlets. For simpler jobs, a local handyperson may suffice, while a contractor might be needed for tasks like drywall repair for the new vents.

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
