Questions to ask before you hire
Does a handyman need a license in Illinois?
Illinois has no statewide handyman license, but plumbing work requires an IDPH-licensed plumber and roofing requires an IDFPR-licensed roofer. Your city may have its own rules.
Do I need a written contract?
For home repair or remodeling work over $1,000, the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act requires the contractor to give you a written contract with the total cost, plus the “Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights” pamphlet.
What jobs should go to a licensed trade instead of a handyman?
In Illinois, plumbing work needs an IDPH-licensed plumber and roofing needs an IDFPR-licensed roofer. For electrical work, ask your town what it requires. A handyman is a good fit for repairs, carpentry, drywall, painting and assembly.
How are handyman jobs usually priced?
Some charge by the hour with a minimum, others quote per job. Ask which method they use, whether materials are included, and get the price in writing before work starts.
