Top 10 Handyman Services in Brookfield, IL
Top questions to ask before hiring a handyman
Handymen are hired to do many various home improvement tasks. Some are general tradesmen, who have a variety of experiences. Others have licenses and training in electrical work or plumbing. The key is asking what their level of experience is for the type of work you need done. Before you call a handyman, know what you need done along with any important details. You'll want an in-home consultation so that you can walk through the project.
Handyman licensing varies from state to state however it's a good question to ask your handyman. You'll also want to verify the dollar amounts for their surety bond (a third party that can cover payments in case the handyman doesn't pay subcontractors or employees) as well as insurance (in case they damage your property or injure themselves).
After the handyman has had a chance to walk through the project, have him or her outline the scope of work. The details of the project, including labor, materials, supplies, rental equipment, or subcontractors, should be listed as separate line items. If you are on a tight budget or timeline, this is the time to discuss options or alternatives for your project. If the project is small, like hauling debris or performing minor repair work, the handyman should request payment when the job is complete. For larger projects that require ordering of materials or multiple subcontractors, it's more common to pay a deposit.
Obtaining proper permits for home improvement is the responsibility of the homeowner. But very often professional file the permits on behalf of the homeowner and should have a good understanding of the process. When the structure of the home is altered, or when changes are made to the electrical system or gas lines, you may need to file a permit. Discuss your particular project with your handyman and ask if a permit is required.
A good handyman should be happy to share references. Anywhere from three to five past clients should be able to give you a good idea about the handyman's work style, ability to get the job done, and the satisfaction when the job is complete. If a homeowner wasn't satisfied with the handyman, be sure you ask specifically why. Sometimes miscommunication can contribute to unsatisfied customers.

Dan has always been very responsive to work on both big and small projects. He has good ideas to share and I've been especially impressed in dealing with on the electrical issues in our old home.
Makes a good handyman with experience in a lot of things you need around the home. Was very innovative creating a glass brick window box for me. Good prices.
I want to amend my previous review. This job was done well and he actually took care of the problem before he saw the negative review. I would use this contractor again.
Jeremy, the owner, gave me a quote to repair the roof on my shed. During the quote, he verbally told me that haul away of all the debris was included. He even told me on the last day of the project that he would be back to pick up the scrap. 3 days later...
Completed the job very efficiently and on time. Excellent work. Would recommend
Great general contractor. Gives you realistic timelines, keeps the work area clean, does what he said he will do. Would use him again any time.
