"We were in a tight timing situation and needed someone as soon as possible for some bathroom work. Reed's Home Improvement came through for us big time! They were prompt, professional, and completed the job quickly without sacrificing quality. The pricing was very reasonable and they were friendly and easy to work with throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and reliable service. Will definitely be reaching out again for future projects!"

"Had doors tightened & drywall repaired. Easy to get a quote. Work scheduled a few weeks later (company is quite busy). Very professional, personable & does excellent work. We have been pleased with the results— done at a good value as well. Kudos also to them for communicating with the customer every step of the way. Would use the service again."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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’ 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.

The appeal of hiring a handyperson is two-fold: first, they usually cost less than hiring certified experts, and second, they complete a massive variety of projects, ranging from installing light fixtures and fixing plumbing leaks to refinishing wood floors and replacing doors in your home. Provided the job doesn’t require a specific license to complete—like a plumber’s license or electrician’s license—a handyperson will likely be able to tackle the work. Handypeople have a broad range of home improvement experience, so professionals can usually handle any project in your home that doesn’t need to be done by a licensed tradesperson.

From drywall repair to fixture installations, pros address diverse home maintenance needs.

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.
