Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right handyman in Boston?
Check online reviews and the number of reviewers to gauge consistency, and read recent feedback for similar jobs. Ask about insurance, necessary licenses for trades like plumbing or electrical, and request references or photos of past work before committing.
What should I check before hiring a handyman?
Confirm the provider carries liability insurance and, if applicable, workers’ compensation coverage for anyone working in your home. Get a written estimate that outlines scope, timeline, materials, and payment terms, and clarify who will pull permits if the job requires them.
How much does hiring a handyman typically cost?
Prices vary widely based on task complexity, materials, and whether a job is billed hourly or at a flat rate. Request written quotes from multiple providers, compare what each quote includes, and avoid paying large sums up front without a clear contract.
