How to choose a handyman
- Describe every task in one request, with photos — it makes quotes comparable.
- Ask whether any task needs a licensed trade (electrical, plumbing, A/C, structural) and who will do that part.
- Ask how they price: per hour, per task or a fixed quote, and what happens if a job takes longer.
- Read the published reviews on the profile and how the company answered them.

Questions and answers
- Do small handyman jobs in Boca Raton need a permit?
- Small jobs such as assembly or minor repairs often need no permit. Electrical, plumbing, mechanical (A/C), gas and structural work need a permit and a licensed contractor. Since July 1, 2026 Florida (HB 803) lets owners of single-family homes ask for an exemption from the building permit for some projects under $7,500, but not for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, gas or structural work. When unsure, ask Boca Raton's building department (link above).
- What is the difference between a handyman and a contractor?
- A handyman takes small, minor jobs. Work that a state license covers — electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, structural — is contracting and needs a licensed contractor, whatever the size of the job. In Florida the line is set by chapter 489 of the Florida Statutes (see the Florida page).
- Can I send the same job to several handyman companies?
- Yes. Pick up to three companies on BisHub and send one request; each replies and quotes separately in its own conversation.
- Does BisHub check handyman licenses or insurance?
- License, insurance and other details on a profile are stated by the company itself. BisHub shows them as provided and does not verify them — check a license with the issuing authority before you hire.
