Handyman services in Oakland

A handyman takes on the many small and mid-sized jobs that come up around a home, from fixing a stuck door or swapping out a toilet to painting a room or tiling a floor. Many of these businesses also handle larger projects such as kitchen or bathroom remodels and roof repairs, so you can often get several jobs done by one person. When you are choosing one, ask whether they carry their own liability insurance and whether they are licensed for the type of work you need, since some projects like plumbing or roofing have specific rules. Get a written estimate that lists materials and labor separately, and book early in the week or season you want, because good handymen in busy areas often have full calendars.
