Carolyn S. says, "Tri-State One Rate Movers did an amazing job for us! We moved our family of 5 from NYC to CT, including a storage unit in Brooklyn. Although their quote came in slightly above other companies their clear concise quote let us know how they came to the Flat Rate Quoted. At the end of the day they were worth every penny! The team of movers we were given were outstanding...efficient, careful, kind, respectful...and by the end of the day as we looked in each room all the furniture was where it should be and the boxes for each room was stack neatly with all the content writing facing outward. The little things that inevitably made a big difference. I cannot recall the team leader's name, but he was awesome. Avi (Mgmt) recommended and assured us that we would not be disappointed and he was correct! Definitely use these guys...they might seem higher at first, but you will not see any extra costs or damages so well worth it! " Read more

Some states have limits on the amount handymen can legally charge before needing a license.

Can a handyman do plumbing or electrical work?

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?

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.
