Q: Does a handyperson need to be insured?

• <div>While handypeople do not need to be licensed in many places, you should only hire insured pros for any home improvement work. Your handyperson should have active liability coverage that protects them and you in the case of an error or accident. Furthermore, if they have employees on your property, they should also have workers&rsquo; compensation insurance. If you hire an individual or a company that is not insured and they damage your property, have an accident while on the job, or become injured on your property without insurance, you can be held financially liable.</div>

Q: What is a professional handyman called?

• <div>A handyperson is the professional term used to describe professional fixers who can tackle a wide range of general home repairs. Some pros may prefer to use the term handyworker, handyman, or handywoman, so we recommend politely asking your pro how they would like you to identify them during the project.</div>

Q: What are the most common handyperson jobs?

• <div>Cleaning a gutter, replacing fixtures such as a cabinet or light, and painting are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-call-handyman-service.htm">common reasons to call a handyperson</a>. You can also call on a handyperson for simple tasks, like assembling new furniture, and complex ones, such as installing a dishwasher. Overall, handypeople are ideal in all areas of home repair that do not require a specific certification, such as with plumbing, electrical, or structural issues. </div>

Q: What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div>It&rsquo;s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they&rsquo;re the right person for the job:<ul><li>Are you licensed and insured?</li><li>Do you have any references?</li><li>Will you provide a written estimate and contract?</li><li>How much do you expect materials to cost?</li><li>How long do you expect the project to take?</li><li>Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee for the job?</li></ul></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>
