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.
