How Can I Find (and Hire) A Good, Responsible Handyman?

How Can I Find (and Hire) A Good, Responsible Handyman?

Start Your Search in the Right Places

 
The first step to finding a great contractor or handyman is to start by searching in the right places. Even if you do own a phone book, resist the urge to start flipping through it. This isn't the kind of decision you want to leave to chance, or to the person with the biggest ad. Here are a couple of places to start your search:

 
    Yelp: You'd be surprised at the things people review on Yelp, and you can easily find contractors, maintenance companies, and handymen all listed with detailed contact information, photos of their work, and plenty of customer reviews to help you decide how the person's work really is. While you should always take Yelp reviews with a grain of salt, I've seen a number of contractors with great reviews, written by customers who actually shared their photos to back up their assertions. There's a little "people only come here to rant when they're angry" aspect to it, like there is with any Yelp review of any business, but on the whole, Yelp can be a great starting point to find well-regarded and capable hands in your neighborhood.

 
    Angie's List: Angie's List may be paid members-only, but it's one of the web's most trustworthy resources for real reviews of hundreds of different services, from home contractors to babysitters. Membership fees vary depending on where you live, but you can expect to pay something like $30/yr (they do have monthly plans if you just need access for a short time) to get access and poke around. You can check how much a membership in your area would be here. The service's membership-only approach to reviews and ratings is generally regarded by both customers and contractors as a good deal—contractors can't pay to be featured or listed and they can't buy reviews—they can, however, post discounts for other users if they're highly rated. There are no anonymous reviews, and reviewers are (usually) verified by the service. Reviewed services actually respond to their reviewers, and the service even has an arbitration team to help resolve any disputes between a reviewer and the company they found through Angie's List. It's hard to suggest Angie's List if you're only hiring someone once in a blue moon, but if you hire frequently or are getting a lot of work done, it can be a huge help.

 
    Word of Mouth: Word of mouth is the way most great repairmen and handymen get business. Ask any good one and they'll tell you that customer referrals are their livelihoods. Ask your friends and neighbors if they've had any work done, and if they have, who did their work (and of course, whether they would recommend them to someone else). Don't stop with just your friends or neighbors though—if you've recently purchased your home, give your real estate agent a call and see if they have any suggestions—odds are they will. Get the word out that you're looking for someone good, and you'll probably get a few referrals from people you can trust. That doesn't automatically mean they're a good handyman, and it doesn't mean you should hire them right out of the gate, but it's a good start.

 
    Community Bulletin Boards/Message boards: Continuing on the word of mouth theme, if you live in a condo building or an organized community, see if there's a local message board or building website that lists some of your neighbors' picks, or where you can ask for suggestions. For example, my building has a site just for residents, and more than a few of my neighbors have posted their favorite contractors for different types of work—all of whom are familiar with the building, the floorplans, the appliances and equipment standard in each unit, and so on. It can be a big help to hire someone who's already familiar with your facilities. Similarly, if there are no recommendations for the type of work I want to do, I can always post to the bulletin board and ask the whole building for their suggestions, which is almost always sure to turn up some great options (and a little debate).

 
    Your Local Hardware Store: While it's unlikely that someone at your local hardware store is just looking for a little side repair work, most hardware stores do have bulletin boards where local contractors post their business cards, web addresses, or phone numbers to advertise their work. Between this and checking Craigslist, you're getting dangerously close to the "open the phone book" level of vaguery, but on the bright side, this method could at least give you some guidance if the other methods fall short. Plus, if they have a website, you can visit and check out photos and references, or use their information there to do more research, maybe on Yelp or another site to see if they're legit.

 
Once you have a few good options or people to get in touch with, the first thing you want to do (if you're in the United States or Canada) is to check and see if there are any outstanding or open complaints with the handyman or the company they work for with the Better Business Bureau. Regardless of what you may think about the BBB, people do lodge their complaints there more often than anywhere else, and if there's an open complaint about work they've done, you'll know to think twice about hiring them.

 
Also, check with your local housing authority or city government office that handles building, construction, and permits to make sure they're a familiar face down there (if you're getting work done that requires permits) or that there aren't any outstanding complaints or pending legal issues with the handyman from City Hall's perspective. Plus, your local building or code inspector will have a good idea of who they enjoy working with, who does good work, and who can barely pass inspection (or doesn't bother to get inspections done).

 
Interview First, Before Anything Else

 
By now you should have a short list of contractors you want to interview to see if they can handle the work you need done. Whether it's hanging drapes or building an addition, you want to interview them first before agreeing to let them do any work in your home. Don't let them just give you a raw estimate for the work you're asking for—especially if they've never seen your home, or have no idea of the scope of the work involved.


Call them up or meet with them and ask them about the kinds of work they've done in the past. Ask what their expertise is, and whether they've done this kind of work before. If you're in a state or region where a contractor has to be licensed, ask for their license number so you can verify it. If they want to give you an estimate on the spot, let them, but make it clear that this isn't binding and you're not hiring them for any work.

 
Most importantly, get some references. Every decent handyman or contractor will be happy to give you a list of people they've worked for in the past, what they've done (and if they're good, they'll give you references for similar work to what you're asking), and even show you pictures of the before and after job, tell you how much it cost, and show you the kinds of plans they'll draw up for the job, how long it'll take, and walk you through the details of those previous gigs.

 
References are of the utmost importance when you're hiring someone to work on your home—don't just take the handyman's references for granted either, go see the work they've done, and call up the people they worked for. That's the point of references, after all—you should be comfortable calling the person they're using as a reference, asking to see the work yourself (so you can make sure it hasn't deteriorated or the photos hid a larger issue), or that the handyman isn't just using the person's name because they were happy a week after the work was complete, but had to get it torn out and redone a month later. Call their references. Go see their work. Talk to their prior customers. We can't stress it enough.

 
Get Your Estimates—and a Plan

 
Once you have your candidates and you're pleased with their referrals, it's time to get your estimates (if you don't have them already) and get a firm plan for the work you'd like done. Most contractors won't put too much into a plan before you've actually hired them, but the good ones will at least rough out what they expect the job will take. They should even help you understand what the cost will be in time and materials, even before you hire them for the job.

 
We have some great tips to help find good contractors and weed them out from the bad ones. Some of the tips are ones we've mentioned—like checking with your city inspector or building office, and checking with the BBB. However, here are some other good things to remember when getting your estimates and reviewing project plans:

 
    Never choose the lowest bidder. Even if all of your bids seem like they're in the same ballpark, the lowest bidder is usually skimping on something, or assumes that something will be easier than it actually will be. Beware.

 
    Never choose the contractor that promises you the world. If you start hearing things that sound too good to be true, like the work will only take a few days, when everyone else is estimating a week or two, or someone who says that work you know will be complicated will be no problem at all for them, be careful. It doesn't necessarily mean bad things, but you should never choose a contractor who offers you more than you know your budget will allow, or promises to be finished sooner than everyone else you're comparing to—especially if it's unusually soon.

 
    Make sure they present you with a detailed plan. Even the most minor contracting jobs or minor fixes around the house should have a plan. It doesn't have to be a full-on project plan, but it should be in writing, and it should detail what the handyman is planning to do to fix the problem, what materials and equipment they plan to use, and of course, how much it'll all cost. Again—this should all be in writing. They can stand in front of the wall you want knocked down and tell you how they're going to do it and how long it'll take, but "you told me X" is useless if they're running over time and over budget.

 
    Make sure they have insurance. Even if a handyman or contractor doesn't have to be licensed or bonded where you work, they should at least have insurance to cover any issues or problems that come up on the job. Remember, your homeowner's or renter's insurance doesn't cover work done by a contractor (if you hire them), so if they accidentally cause major damage to your home, they should have a way to pay for it.

 
Ideally before you even really hire someone, you'll have written estimates, and written plan for the work you'll want done (to be fleshed out and detailed upon hiring), and more than a few contractors willing to take your job, all of whom you've interviewed and you feel comfortable with (remember, this person will be in your home—you should feel comfortable with them too). Now you can go about picking the right one for you and your home with confidence.

 
Hire Wisely and Stay Involved in the Project

 
Once you've selected a contractor and delivered the good news (PS - when you give your second and third choices the bad news, treat them kindly and respectfully. You never know when your first choice will screw up and you'll need to call your second choice and ask them to come and finish up—or fix what the first guy broke), hire them on the contingency that they stick to their plan, timeline, and estimate and don't make any changes without your authorization. For example, if they open up a wall only to discover a major problem, their first instinct should be to call you—not just go forward and work around it. Any budget overruns or new materials required should be cleared by you first. You should have a written agreement, and that agreement should include all those details and contingencies in case you and the contractor disagree (contingencies that should give you a favorable out if the work isn't done to your satisfaction).

 
Never, ever, pay anything up front. If your contractor starts moaning that they need the money to go get the materials for the job, call up your second choice (unless you're getting custom supplies that need to be ordered). Your contractor should be able to pay their own way so you can pay for special materials and upon completion of the work—or at least after you've seen some results. It's not strange to pay a portion after some of the work has been done, or to pay for special equipment, and then pay the rest when everything's finished. It is uncommon however to do a "half now, half when I'm finished" arrangement unless you're hiring someone's brother or best friend. If that's the direction you want to go, be very careful—paying half of the overall budget before they lift a finger (essentially, for nothing), is a great way to lose half of the money you budgeted for your new addition or garage makeover.

 
Finally, make sure you stick to your contractor like glue. Make sure you're actively engaged in the work—don't just give your contractor the keys and walk away. This isn't a reality TV show: Pay attention to what they're doing, ask questions, and while you don't want to slow down the process, you do want it clear that you're involved, interested, and want to make sure the work is done right.


 Hopefully these tips will help you find a good contractor, Harried Homeowner! It can be a tricky process, but whether your job is large or small, with some research and the right questions, you can be sure you'll find one of the good guys eager to work with you to improve your home. Good luck!
