FAQ

Q:What is a Handyman?

A: A handyman is someone who can perform a wide assortment of small tasks
and odd jobs. Handymen can be found in communities all over the world,
offering low-cost services ranging from gardening to home repair to their clients.



Q: Handyman services in my area often charge $40 or more per hour.
This seems awfully expensive. How can I get the work done for less?

 A: You probably cannot get the work done well for less, because the economics
of contracting has changed over the years. Forty dollars an hour is about the
minimum it takes to provide professional service. While you may be able to find
 "bargain" contractors who will work for less, these firms are rarely licensed and
insured, are far less likely to back up their work, and will probably be much more
cavalier about returning calls and keeping appointments.

Q: Can one firm handle all of my small plumbing, electrical, painting and
carpentry repairs?

A: While theoretically possible, such firms are extremely rare. In addition to
 the different skills involved, each trade requires different licenses, has
 different permit processes and is regulated by different codes and agencies.

Q: I have no real experience working on my home, but it seems I should
be able to learn how to do at least some basic home repairs.
Where can I get help?

A: Many local home center stores offer classes (often free) on various do-it-yourself
 repairs and improvements. For more in-depth training, check with the adult education
division of your county government for courses offered in your area.
