"Sosa’s Property Service was fantastic! Josue and Tatiane answered our call well after typical business hours when we needed emergency cleaning services. They were here the next day to give us a quote (which was more than reasonable) and then came the next day to clean. Tatiane and her sister were incredibly thorough! The house has not been this clean in years!! I would absolutely hire Tatiane again."

"Livingston and his team addressed five projects within one day, all to perfection and with attention to detail that I had not even anticipated — and all within the cost of the estimate! Livingston communicated clearly, arrived with every bit of the tools and supplies necessary to complete all five jobs and worked as a team to address any problems that came up. Livingston and his team are all experienced, safety-conscious, and independently minded professionals, who additionally were unfailingly positive and courteous. This is perhaps the most amazing experience that this disabled veteran has had with a contractor. Livingston is an outstanding planner, communicator, and leader. I highly recommend anyone with home-related needs to turn to him first when entrusting your home repairs to someone in the field."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Before hiring a handyperson, it's important to ask several questions to ensure they are the right fit for the job. Key areas to cover include their experience, logistics, and job specifics.

Experience and Qualifications:

  • What kind of work do you specialize in?

  • How long have you been doing this kind of work?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have references?

  • Can you provide before-and-after photos of your work?

Estimates and Contracts:

  • Do you charge for estimates?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • Does the estimate cover both labor and materials?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

Project Details and Guarantees:

  • When can you start the job, and how long do you expect it to take?

  • Do you provide a guarantee for your work?

  • Will you handle cleanup and waste disposal after the job is finished?

  • Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

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

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.

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.

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.
