"Jimenez Service responded to my Angi request within an hour. I explained the work to the office administrator. They had availability to do my work the same afternoon. The handyman was very polite, asked good questions, was up front with costs, and performed the work I requested within the same afternoon. He even fixed the hot tub motor, which I had not been sure could be repaired. The charge was as quoted, I payed on the spot, and can now move on with other things. I couldn’t be happier with this crew."

"We were able to schedule same day appointment, Will was on time and prepared. The price quoted was fair and comparably to other estimates. He did a great job with assembly, clean up and we were able to use immediately. I highly recommend Absolute Finishings for any handyman projects."

"I had an amazing experience and highly recommend him! I needed very large, heavy blackout curtains installed across a wide area of my loft, and the wall made the installation especially challenging. He did an incredible job making sure everything was installed securely, properly, and looked great. He also installed my electronic curtain openers and got everything set up perfectly. I can now open and close the curtains using Siri and Apple Home, which has been a huge upgrade. The blackout curtains are already making a noticeable difference in keeping my loft much cooler during the day. Beyond the quality of the work, he was extremely personable, professional, and easy to work with. His pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the difficulty of the installation. I will absolutely be using him again for other handyman projects around my home. Excellent work, great service, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Aside from a professional light installation company, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they’re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.

Discuss design preferences and material choices before work begins for cohesive results.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

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?

Hiring a handyperson offers several benefits. They can save you time and hassle by completing tasks you may not have the time or experience to do yourself. A key advantage is ensuring the project is done correctly, which can prevent future issues and save money in the long run. For projects that pose safety risks, hiring an experienced professional is a much safer option. Additionally, handypeople are often more available for smaller jobs that larger contractors may not have the schedule for.
