"I recently hired a handyman for some home repairs, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment he arrived, he was punctual and ready to work. His professionalism stood out immediately; he took the time to assess the tasks at hand, explained what he would be doing, and answered all my questions with patience. The quality of his work was exceptional. He tackled various tasks—from fixing leaky faucets to patching drywall—and each job was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. It was clear he takes pride in his work, as everything was finished to a high standard. Additionally, he maintained a clean workspace, which I appreciated. It’s always nice to have someone who respects your home. I highly recommend this handyman to anyone in need of reliable and skilled help. His combination of punctuality, professionalism, and quality workmanship makes him a standout choice. I will definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

"I’ve used Vilardo Residential Services several times and highly recommend Julian for handyman and home improvement projects. Scheduling is easy, pricing is reasonable, and the quality of his work is excellent. What sets Julian apart is that he is conscientious, detail-oriented, respectful, and professional. He takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about how the finished project looks. He’s also knowledgeable and great at talking through design ideas, which is a huge plus. For my recent project, Julian installed crown molding, chair rail, and decorative trim around a window and along a wall. He also installed a new bathroom mirror, towel rack, toilet paper holder, and curtain rod. I completed the painting and wallpapering myself, but his trim and installation work brought everything together beautifully. Excellent workmanship, attention to detail, and service. Well worth the money. I’ll continue using Vilardo Residential Services and continue recommending Julian"

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

A big resounding yes, hiring a contractor is 100% worth it. They bring expertise, manage permits, coordinate professions in different trades, and help avoid costly mistakes. A pro can keep your project on budget and schedule while ensuring quality work that adds value to your home.

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.

While a handyperson will do the odd small job for your home, a maintenance person is responsible for conducting regular inspections and repairs. Maintenance people may come in to do small fixes and diagnose any issues you might be facing, but may not have all the same technical abilities as a handyperson.

To install or move washer and dryer hookups, you will likely need a combination of professionals. A plumber can handle the water supply lines and drain pipes. If you have a gas dryer, a plumber certified for gas lines or an HVAC specialist will be needed to run the gas line. An electrician is required to install the correct electrical outlets. For simpler jobs, a local handyperson may suffice, while a contractor might be needed for tasks like drywall repair for the new vents.

The cost to hire a handyman can vary, with most charging on a per-hour or per-project basis. On average, expect to pay between $50 and $150 per hour, with a typical rate around $90 per hour. For project-based work, the average cost is about $400, though the total can range from as low as $180 to $1,500 or more. Some handypeople may also require a minimum flat rate, such as payment for two hours of work.

Several factors influence the final cost, including:

  • The type, size, difficulty, and complexity of the job

  • The amount of time the work takes

  • The handyman's experience level

  • Your geographic location

  • The cost of materials and any necessary permits

  • Accessibility of the work area and potential travel costs

Additionally, you may encounter higher rates or extra fees for emergency services or work scheduled during holidays.
