What to ask before you hire

  • Get it in writing: ask whether the quote is flat-rate or hourly, and get the scope, price, and timeline in writing before work starts.
  • Ask about a minimum charge: many handymen have a minimum visit fee (often one hour) even for a five-minute fix. Batching several small jobs into one visit gets you the most value.
  • Materials: ask whether materials are included in the quote or billed separately — and who supplies them.
  • Know the limits: a handyman is right for drywall, painting, carpentry fixes, and small repairs. Electrical panel work, gas lines, sewer mains, and roofing need licensed trade pros — and permitted work needs the permit pulled.
  • Insurance: ask for proof of liability insurance. A legitimate company provides it without hesitation.

Handyman FAQ

How much does a handyman cost in Aurora, IL?

Most charge hourly or flat-rate per job, and a minimum visit charge (often one hour) is common even for quick fixes. Get the scope and price in writing before work starts — and batch small jobs into one visit to make the minimum work for you.

What should I ask a handyman before hiring?

Written scope and price, the minimum charge, who supplies materials, the timeline, and proof of liability insurance. For anything beyond basic repairs, ask how they handle surprises found mid-job.

Do handymen in Illinois need a license?

There’s no state handyman license in Illinois — but trade-specific work (electrical, plumbing, roofing, HVAC) requires the relevant license, and larger jobs may need contractor registration with the city. Ask what applies to your project.

What jobs should I not hire a handyman for?

Anything involving the electrical panel or service, gas lines, sewer mains, roofing, or structural changes — those need licensed trade professionals and usually permits. A good handyman will tell you when a job is outside their lane.

Should I get a written estimate from a handyman?

Yes — always. Scope of work, price (and whether materials are included), timeline, and payment terms, all in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
