Q: Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div>Handypeople usually don&rsquo;t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren&rsquo;t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines.

Q: Should you tip an appliance removal company?

• <div>Most professional appliance removal companies will not expect a tip, but offering one is a good way to show appreciation for a job well done. A tip of 10% to 20% is a good idea if your professionals are working in the rain or snow, if they take extra care not to damage your walls and furniture in the removal process, or if they need to maneuver the appliance through tight spaces or up or down stairs to get it out of your home.</div>

Q: Do handypeople need to be licensed?

• <div>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&rsquo; licensing board before starting any work.</div>

Q: How much do handypeople services cost?

• <div>Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyman costs</a> around $400 per project, but the total could range from $65 to $1,500 or more, depending on the type of project and how long it takes. Most handypeople charge on a per-hour basis, usually around $90 per hour. Less experienced handypeople could charge as low as $40 per hour, while experts or highly experienced handypeople may charge up to $140 per hour. Here are some additional factors that affect your pricing:<ul><li>Amount of time the job takes</li><li>Difficulty level of the work</li><li>Material costs</li><li>Accessibility of the work area</li></ul></div>

Sean fixed a variety of issues that needed repair on the house. He got them done quickly and it looked even better than it did before. Haven't had any issues since and would highly recommend him for any handyman needs.

"My handrails had been dinged from the hailstorm in May. This pro came to see what needed to be done, gave me an estimate of the cost to redo these by sanding, spray painting with primer, and the material cost. When he showed up as promised, he covered all the exposed portions of the porch with plastic and cardboard to avoid unwanted paint smears. The handrails look almost new and that is amazing since they are original to the house and have been painted many times. Very professional."
