FAQ

New York Handyman — Quick Answers

What tasks can a handyman handle in NYC?
Handymen handle smaller repairs and maintenance: door/window fixes, painting touch-ups, shelf/cabinet installation, bathroom caulking, minor appliance repairs, furniture assembly, general upkeep. For major electrical, plumbing or structural work, use a specialist.
How much do handymen charge in New York?
NYC handyman rates typically run $75–$150 per hour, 10-20% higher than national averages due to labor costs and building access. Many offer half-day or full-day rates for multiple tasks, which can save money.
Do handymen need licenses in New York?
NYC requires a handyman or general contractor license for certain work. All handymen on AllBetter are identity-verified — ask about licensing and insurance directly in the app before hiring.
Can handymen work in co-ops and condos?
Yes, but check your building rules first. Many co-ops/condos require board approval, certificates of insurance, and restricted working hours. Mention building requirements when posting your job.
What’s the difference between a handyman and a contractor?
Handymen handle smaller, miscellaneous repairs and maintenance. General contractors manage larger projects like renovations. If your job is a list of small fixes, a handyman is usually the right choice.
What should I include in my job post?
List every task clearly, describe each briefly, add photos of the areas/items. Include building type (pre-war, high-rise, etc.), floor number, and access rules. More detail = better, faster bids.
