5 Things to Check Before Hiring a Handyman in Queens

• Are they licensed and insured? In NYC, contractors should carry general liability insurance. Always ask for proof.
• Can they provide a COI? Co-ops and condos often require a Certificate of Insurance. Not all handymen carry one.
• Do they offer flat-rate pricing? Hourly pricing can balloon quickly. Flat rates give you certainty.
• 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.
