"Chris is extremely efficient and accurate. He completed A LOT of tasks in a few hours. I was amazed. Communication is easy. He has a unique pricing policy, which I still have to fully understand, but I know I’m getting VALUE for my money. I’ve hired him to return and he will be doing my projects from now on. It’s a relief for me to have a trustworthy and easy going problem solving handyman."

"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

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.

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

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.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

Rates vary by task complexity and time, often providing cost-effective solutions for homeowners.
