Write down every small job, with photos and measurements. A clear list lets a handyman quote the whole visit and bring the right parts.
Michigan licenses the work, not the title. Larger paid jobs need a LARA license, and electrical, plumbing and HVAC work beyond minor repairs belongs with licensed trades.
How we check credentials →Compare how the job is billed (by task, by hour or by visit), what materials are included, cleanup, and whether the work is guaranteed in writing.
A good handyman is the fastest way to clear a list of small repairs: sticking doors, drywall holes, loose trim, a leaky faucet, a TV that needs mounting. Use this page to pick the right service, request quotes from local pros, and know when a job is big enough to need a licensed specialist. Bigger projects belong with general contractors, and new wiring belongs with licensed electricians.
List each task, where it is, and what materials you already have. Photos of the damaged drywall, the door that sticks or the wall where the TV goes help pros quote accurately. Bundling several small jobs into one visit is usually the best value.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license from LARA; M&A licenses list trades such as Carpentry, Tile & Marble and Insulation. Electrical and plumbing work needs licensed contractors and permits, although state law exempts minor repair work without defining it. Ordinary repairs do not need a building permit, but structural changes do.
Ask how each job is priced, whether materials and haul-away are included, and whether there is a trip or minimum charge. On homes built before 1978, confirm EPA lead-safe certification for any work that disturbs paint. Then check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Handyman pros serve all six counties, but any permit comes from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, permits go through BSEED. Much of the housing here is older, with plaster walls, original wood windows and layers of paint, so ask about experience with older homes. Browse by city or county, such as Wayne or Macomb.
