Q: What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they&rsquo;re the right person for the job:</p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any references?</p></li><li><p>Will you provide a written estimate and contract?</p></li><li><p>How much do you expect materials to cost?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the project to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide a guarantee for the job?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you find a reputable handyman?

• <div><p>You can find a reliable handyperson by looking at professionals in your area and ruling out companies with poor reviews online. Next, check each handyperson on the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a history of complaints and rule out those that do. Finally, you can contact each handyperson to ask the following qualifying questions:</p><ul><li><p>What is your hourly rate?</p></li><li><p>Are there any jobs you can&rsquo;t tackle?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>How many years of experience do you have?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references I can contact?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do handypeople need to be licensed?

• <div><p>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&rsquo; licensing board before starting any work.</p></div>
