Handyman Services in Staten Island, NY

Each provider listed on this page has an active license number on file in the ServHom data. ServHom does not independently re-verify or re-check licenses in real time, so you should confirm the license status directly with the issuing agency, such as NYC DCWP or NYC DOB, before hiring.

Costs vary depending on whether the handyman charges hourly or per job, what materials are needed, how many small tasks you bundle into one visit, and whether the work requires a licensed trade instead. Bundling several small tasks into one visit usually lowers the per-task cost.

Ask which tasks they can legally handle versus work that requires a licensed trade, such as real plumbing, gas, or electrical. Confirm whether they charge hourly or flat pricing up front, get a written list of agreed tasks, and ask about insurance for in-home work.

Find out if they can do the specific job you need, whether they charge by the hour or per task, and if they carry insurance. For larger home improvement work over a certain dollar threshold in NYC, make sure you use a DCWP-licensed Home Improvement Contractor with a written contract.
