3-4 employees, no subs, free estimates. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charge. No emergency service.

"Our project was to replace a deck with a new larger one and build a roof over it. I was nervous about hiring a contractor but Hugo was recommended by a friend. « Go with Hugo, he did a superb job of carpentry in my house ! ». I am so grateful to her! I did hire Hugo. As for his work, the words “top-notch”, “first-rate” come to mind. He and his crew are outstanding professionals. The whole construction was done with such care and proficiency. My husband and I are delighted with the result. Hugo’s work was not inexpensive but I did not want to end up with a car port ! Considering that we got exactly what we wanted, with the quality of both material and workmanship, we felt it was a fair deal. Also, I appreciated Hugo’s passion for his own work and the advice of an experienced builder. As a bonus, he was completely trustworthy, showing up when he said he would, meeting all date-lines, explaining small delays while waiting for Inspections from our County, etc… and taking care of “everything”, like permits or attending to last minute requests. And then, there is another aspect of the total experience: giving us peace of mind instead of worries.. That, to me, was very valuable."

"Mike responded right away to my request and was available when I was available -- twice! (I accidentally cancelled my first appointment when I was sleepy). He came out and after trying several things, we both agreed that the reason my disposal wasn't working was because it tired out after 18 years. He went an purchased a new one and came back and installed it all within 1 1/2 hours. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again."

Our mission is to help with updating, repairs or routine maintenance of your household. With experience in different trades, we can take care of multiple areas without the headache of finding different companies.

"Our home required rotten wood to be replaced in a number of areas that were exposed to water runoff from poorly installed gutters. Heath did an initial assessment of the work required but advised it could change once he got behind the rotten boards to see the extent of the damage. Of course there were more replacements needed and the price went up but in the end he and his team did a great job getting the work completed. Would definitely hire H&H again in the future."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Before starting handyman projects in Durham, clearly define your project scope and budget, then check with the City of Durham Inspections Department for any permit or inspection requirements. Gather all materials in advance, and consider the impact of Durham's seasonal weather on your timeline. Creating a detailed checklist and scheduling inspections early helps prevent unexpected delays and ensures your project stays compliant and on track.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Durham often overlook the need for proper permits or fail to verify contractor credentials. Assuming all materials are included or not confirming the project scope can lead to misunderstandings. Ignoring local HOA or historic district guidelines may cause delays. Scheduling projects during peak university move-in periods or not planning for local traffic can also disrupt timelines. Skipping a final walkthrough is another frequent oversight.

Helpful?

In Durham, most handyman projects involving structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work require permits, as outlined by the City of Durham Inspections Department. For example, building a deck or updating electrical wiring will need official approval. Cosmetic tasks like painting or tiling usually do not. Always verify permit requirements with the City of Durham before starting, as unpermitted work can lead to fines or project delays.

Helpful?

In Durham, hidden costs during handyman projects can include permit fees for electrical or plumbing work, especially in historic neighborhoods. Uncovering issues like outdated wiring or water damage in older homes may require extra repairs. You might also face disposal charges for old materials, additional trips for specialty supplies, or parking permits in busy areas. Weather-related delays can sometimes extend project timelines and impact scheduling.

Helpful?

In Durham, small handyman repairs such as fixing faucets or patching drywall typically take a few hours. Medium-sized projects like painting or cabinet installation often require one to three days. Larger home repair jobs, including deck restoration or kitchen updates, may take one to two weeks. Project timelines can be affected by seasonal demand, university events, and local weather conditions.
