"I hired Frank from Small Jobs and he was extremely knowledgeable , friendly and efficient. He assembled an elliptical bike for me and did an amazing job! I spoke to several other handymen prior to speaking with Frank and they were extremely rude and arrogant. While speaking to Frank I knew he was the right person. His professionalism and demeanor sealed the deal."

"We used Silver Hammer Services for several jobs. His employees made some major mistakes (they had to re-do a complete shower tile job, and faulty bathtub plumbing caused a leak through ceiling below). Robert did follow through and made the necessary fixes even though they caused some lengthly delays. There was one exception. We had Robert install a new bathroom door. It started to stick and would not close unless a forceful pull or push was made (therefore it was very loud). We asked him to look at it. He agreed it was sticking and said he would have one of his men take a look and fix it. More than three months later, after numerous texts and verbal assurances he would fix it, nothing had been done. Excuses were given, including staffing problems and a busy schedule. We finally had to hire our own handyman at a cost of $172 to get the door fixed."

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Prioritize tasks and arrange a consultation to discuss scope and timeline with the handyman.

Reviewing your contract for termination terms is best when ending a relationship with a contractor. If there is nothing in the contract or you had a verbal agreement, communicate your decision in writing, citing specific reasons. Afterward, pay for the completed work per your original agreement. Remember you want a record of all correspondence in case you need a lawyer later to settle disputes.

You can find a reliable handyperson by looking at professionals in your area and ruling out companies with poor reviews online. Next, check each handyperson on the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a history of complaints and rule out those that do. Finally, you can contact each handyperson to ask the following qualifying questions:

  • What is your hourly rate?

  • Are there any jobs you can’t tackle?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do you have references I can contact?

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.
