Top 10 Handyman Services in Lebanon, IN
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.

Jeff couldn't have been more professional. He was timely, neat and very respectful. It's hard for us to get people we trust in our home to complete updates, because we have large dogs. It didn't phase Jeff and his partner did not bat an eye, and even help...
Thanks Jeff. Had the entire inside of my house painted. They did an excellent job in a timely manner. Even asked for a few other things to be done and Jeff did a great job with everything!! I will definitely use again. John
Sir fix a lot did a thorough job painting our rooms and landing.....not to mention installing a ceiling fan and light fixtures...it was all done in the time frame discussed..and a very reasonable price...we have other future jobs to be done!!
Jeff hung our Christmas Lights and gave estimates for a large painting project. Excellent service. Will hire again!
Kerry did some drywall repair on 4/21/26. The results were ok, but he was dishonest in the price. He doubled his hourly rate for two people, which was never discussed. Get your quotes/estimates in writing!
Quality work, reliable. Very happy with my crown molding installation. Offers ideas and suggestions for many of my carpentry projects.
Kerry added a privacy screen to our deck, looks great and the price was very competitive to three other bids. Won't hesitate to go back to Heston Construction with our next job.
