5 Things to Check Before Hiring a Handyman in Queens

• Are they insured and COI-ready? In NYC, contractors should carry general liability insurance. Always ask for proof and confirm building COI needs.
• Can they provide a COI? Co-ops and condos often require a Certificate of Insurance. Not all handymen carry one.
• Do they review scope before pricing? Hourly pricing can balloon quickly, but fixed promises before photos can also miss access, material, or building-rule issues. Scope-reviewed quotes keep expectations clear.
• Check Google and Yelp reviews. Look for consistent patterns, especially how they handle problems.
• Are they local? A Queens-based handyman knows the buildings and logistics. Travel time affects cost.
