Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of jobs can a handyman legally do in the Quad Cities?
Minor repairs, assembly, patching, trim work, and basic maintenance are squarely in a handyman's lane. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work are regulated trades — licensed statewide in Iowa, and licensed by individual cities and counties in Illinois — so those jobs need a licensed trade contractor rather than a general handyman. A reputable handyman knows where that line is and will refer you to a specialist rather than take on work that needs a permit and inspection.
How do handyman services charge in the Quad Cities?
Most charge either an hourly rate with a minimum visit, or a flat per-job rate for clearly scoped tasks. Hourly rates in the metro run well below Chicago or Des Moines. The most cost-effective approach is to batch your small repairs into one visit — a punch list of five items is far cheaper than booking five separate trips. Get the rate and minimum in writing before the visit.
Is a handyman a good choice for getting a house ready to sell?
Yes — pre-listing punch lists are one of the best uses of a handyman. Fixing sticky doors, patching nail holes, swapping dated cabinet hardware, re-caulking tubs, and tightening loose railings are exactly the small, visible improvements that help a home show well. A handyman can work through your list in a day or two where a specialist would take weeks to schedule each trade separately.
Should a handyman be insured and bonded?
Yes — ask for proof of general liability insurance before any work begins. A handyman working in your home without insurance leaves you on the hook for damage or injury. Bonding matters less for small jobs but is worth asking about for anything involving a deposit or a larger scope. A professional who carries insurance will show you the certificate without hesitation.
