Karen P. says, "I asked for carpentry repair and handyman help. I was contacted by Jose. He asked me to take photos of 2 damaged basement steps. After viewing them, he came to examine and take measurements. We spoke about what was needed to best repair damage. Our highest concern was to address the safety issue. I am also very happy with the quality of materials acquired to replace cracked steps and, most importantly, with the quality of Jose’s work. He also replaced a light fixture on ceiling above foot of stars. I am impressed by the attention to detail and safety throughout this process. It was completed yesterday; the experience was a positive one that progressed smoothly and in a timely way. Jose was personable, courteous, and considerate - while also very professional & focused. He additionally installed 2 smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. I am very pleased with the outcome & very happy to give Jose my highest praise. Sincerely, Karen" Read more

What impressed me most was his attention to detail - he carefully followed the instruction manual and double-checked all connections to ensure everything was secure. The assembly was completed efficiently, and he even helped position the equipment in the ideal spot. After finishing, he tested all moving parts and explained the basic maintenance requirements. He also cleaned up the workspace and removed all packaging materials. The equipment works perfectly, with no wobbling or loose parts. Thomas's professionalism and expertise made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend his services for anyone needing exercise equipment assembly." Read more

Your Handyman questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a handyman service charge?

Handyman hourly rates are $50 to $80 on average, plus the cost of materials. Most handyman work costs $150 to $600, depending on the job's size and if the handyman is self-employed or corporate. Handymen who purchase materials may have a 20% to 50% markup or a trip charge of $30 to $80.

What can a handyman legally do?

A handyman can legally do small jobs and repairs like painting a room, hanging a TV, unclogging a drain, patching a wall, replacing a ceiling fan, fixing a fence or gate, cleaning gutters, or replacing a toilet. Some states have limits on the amount handymen can legally charge before needing a license.

Can a handyman do plumbing or electrical work?

Only licensed handymen can do plumbing or electrical work. Although, a handyman may legally do small electrical and plumbing jobs in some states, like replacing a toilet. For larger projects, it's best to hire electricians or plumbers in your area.

How to find a local handyman in your area?

Start by searching our list of handyman services near you. After finding and contacting potential candidates:

  • Get at least three quotes to compare.
  • Read reviews and check out their previous work on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Select handyman contractors that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
  • Discuss rates and payment methods upfront.
  • Avoid selecting the lowest quote as quality may suffer.
  • Ask for at least a 1-year labor warranty.
  • Get a full breakdown of all labor and material costs involved.
  • Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
  • Discuss job timelines, work hours, and expectations for larger projects.
  • Avoid making payments upfront. Instead, pay when the work is completed.

How do I hire a nearby handyman?

When looking to hire a local handyman, ask the following questions:

  • What type of work can you do?
  • What is your hourly rate?
  • Do you have a trip charge for getting materials?
  • How much do you mark up materials?
  • Can you provide a written estimate upfront?
  • Do you have local references or a portfolio of your work?
  • Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
  • What hours do you work?
  • How long will the job take?
  • How do you handle additional work that arises?
  • Do you provide a guarantee?
  • How do you handle damages that happen on the job?
  • Do you work alone, or will you use subcontractors?
  • What’s your payment schedule?

After asking questions and comparing estimates, hire the best handyman in your area.

Does a handyman need a license?

Many states have a “Handyman Exemption” that only requires a license for jobs over $500 to $10,000 or more, varying by state. In other states, a license is mandatory for all work. Many states also require worker’s compensation and liability insurance to protect against damage or accidents.

Do you tip a handyman?

Handymen don't expect a tip. If the handyman goes above and beyond or spends more time than expected, a tip is appreciated. Most homeowners tip a handyman $10 to $20 or between 10% and 15% of the total job.
