"Robert is a thorough professional and we had a great experience working with him and his team. We had to get our entire 5 bedroom 4000sq ft single family home completely renovated, because our tenant destroyed the house. We had to get the entire wooden floors sanded and polished, carpets stripped and Kiltz treated and walls/ceilings painted. Robert completed all the work within 2 weeks and most importantly he did everything while me and my family were staying out of state in Philadelphia. After meeting Robert and speaking to him, I handed him the house keys, and we laid full trust in him. We instinctively knew that he is a thorough gentleman and a great professional and would get the complex job done on time. Robert kept sending me pictures of work completed each day and he started and finished his work with utmost precision and on time. His team subsequently remodeled our master bathroom and also helped with kitchen remodeling. You will not be disappointed with Robert and his team’s professionalism, workmanship and punctuality. His quote estimates and final pricing are fair and accurate. I thoroughly recommend him and his company for any handyman and house repair service. I will rate Robert A+++, since we got our house back fully restored, after being gutted by a nasty tenant. Loved working with Robert, Roger, Mike and Mark. Excellent team."

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
