What separates a great handyman from a cheap quote, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
Handymen handle general repairs and small jobs. Electrical, plumbing, and gas work should go to a licensed trade. A trustworthy handyman tells you when a job is over that line.
Some charge by the hour, others a half-day minimum or per-task rates. For a list of small jobs, a half-day booking is often better value; ask how they bill.
Handymen are most economical when you batch several jobs into one visit rather than calling for each. Make a punch list and book it together.
Even for small jobs, a handyman working in your home should carry liability insurance. Ask before they start, especially for anything involving ladders or water.
