"I love Home Advisor. They have found someone reliable, trustworthy and professional for all the projects I have encountered in updating my new home. Including, painting with removing the popcorn ceilings, plumbing and electrical. Now, my last project was leveling the sidewalk, adding a front porch with walkway and a slab for a storage room. Home Advisors always stays in touch with me on how the project is progressing and how I feel about it. I really appreciate that. They CARE about me! Thank you."
"I’ve hired Jay for a few projects (showers, bathroom sink faucets, and a leak), and the work has always been done quickly, correctly, and better than previous plumbers I’ve hired. He is upfront and informative of what needs to be done, what he is doing, and pricing. Most importantly, he answers your messages, works with your schedule, and can be trusted to show up and do the work he promises.
Highly recommended and who I will call for any future projects."
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.
Pros save time and ensure quality by handling complex tasks and repairs efficiently.
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
Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room).
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:
What is your hourly rate?
Are there any jobs you can’t tackle?
Are you fully insured?
How many years of experience do you have?
Do you have references I can contact?
