A handyman handles a wide range of small to medium home repairs and maintenance tasks. Here are the most commonly requested services:
Look for handymen with multiple real reviews. On HandymanCan, reviews are dual-direction — both sides rate each other, so feedback stays honest.
Check if they carry liability insurance and any required licenses. Ask about years of experience with your specific type of job.
Get quotes from 2–3 handymen. Look for transparent pricing — per hour or per job. Be wary of quotes that seem too low.
Many small repairs are doable in an afternoon. Save the call to a pro for the trickier jobs.
Pricing, licensing, insurance, and how to grow your handyman business.
Start by browsing profiles on HandymanCan — each handyman has real customer reviews, photos of past work, and transparent pricing. Check their years of experience, service area, and whether they carry insurance. Start with a small job before committing to bigger projects.
Most handymen charge $50–$100 per hour, though rates vary by location, job complexity, and experience. Simple tasks like mounting a TV or fixing a faucet typically run $75–$200, while larger jobs like deck repair can cost $500–$1,500+. Many handymen offer flat-rate pricing per job.
A handyman handles smaller repairs and maintenance (typically under $500–$1,000 per job). A general contractor manages larger projects that require permits, inspections, or subcontractors. If your job involves structural changes or costs over $1,000, you likely need a licensed contractor.
It depends on the state. In California, handymen need a Handyman Registration for jobs over $500. Specialized work like plumbing or electrical always requires a license regardless of cost. Check your state's requirements before hiring.
