Putnam Handyman Services Inc. is a #1 rated, licensed and Insured contractor that services New York and connecticut. From full remodels to your honey-do-list, Putnam Handyman Services Inc. does it all!

"I recommend making sure you know who Putnam Handyman is sending to your house & call references, even if you are a repeat customer. Here is why….. I had an in-wall air conditioning unit installed by PH in June 2022. Overall, this installation was cut & dry with a few fixes along the way. The experience was fantastic so I called on them again in May 2023 to replace another in-wall AC unit that was leaking. This installation was not as cut & dry but absolutely doable. It became clear quickly that the lead technician was not happy with the job. I explained that I understood it was different than the job in 2022 and the AC & sleeve I purchased met the specs I was given so I was not being unrealistic. It ended up taking about 1½ days & I was completely fine with paying more for the extra work but the installation was flawed. I sent an email with pics detailing the flaws; foam sealant used on outside looked terrible, trim around the unit was not set correctly and there was a gap under the unit that needed to be sealed. I also requested they send the team they sent in 2022 to fix the problems. PH called me to discuss the email. I agreed to having the team who installed it come back & we agreed on a fair price for the installation. When they came back to fix their work, the same complaints were lobbied. Again, I explained that I understood, I got the materials according to the specs they provided, etc. Now here we are in 2025 and the poor installation has created damage. The technician installed the AC too close to the electric baseboard heater and since this was a colder winter compared to the year before, the bottom trim has warped quite significantly. I didn’t discover the damage until a few weeks ago because I cover front of my ACs when the weather cools. I emailed PH with pics but since their warranty expired, I would need to pay to have it fixed. While I respect the timing of the warranty, I am still disappointed that Putnam Handyman isn’t willing to fix a job that was obviously done incorrectly by their technician. So, here I am taking this story to internet to warn others."

"The 2 go's were polite and worked quickly. They didn't follow my directions very well - don't move things on the kitchen counters to anyplacev else unless you show me, because I have disabilities and I don't want to have to hunt for those things. Took me 2 weeks to find my Braun blender for example."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Using a pro guarantees correct tools and expertise, preventing potential household mishaps.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).

Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.

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.

The average handyperson charges $50 to $150 per hour. The exact amount varies based on several factors, including where you live, the difficulty of the job, and the handyperson’s level of experience. Other factors like the cost of travel, permits, and materials might come into play, too. Customers should also anticipate a minimum flat rate of around two hours of work for a handyperson to agree to a job.
