If you’re one of the people searching for the best handyman services near me, you’re not alone. We, too, used to do that search not too long ago.
But luckily in this new age of technology, there are a multitude of websites and apps that help you book a licensed, background-checked, peer-reviewed handyman instantly (the same way you’d call an Uber)!
The Best Handyman Services Near Me (and You)
We’ve written about this before in the past, but our big recommendation now for finding a handyman near you is: Use a handyman marketplace app or website. A couple examples (which we’ll describe more below) are Takl, Handy, and Thumbtack. These places have gathered up high-quality handymen and allow you to easily and securely book them right through their app or website.
Below are the most popular handyman booking services and some details about them (and discounts)!
Takl (Our Favorite)
Takl has a huge range of common handyman jobs and housework help. Jobs are pre-priced, so you don’t need to haggle.
Book instantly through the app.
Get 10% off with the code C2A74.
Thumbtack
On Thumbtack, you post what you want completed and contractors will offer five quotes that you can sift through.
Pay through the app.
No current discounts offered.
Handy
Handy is more commonly known for their cleaning services, but they also offer some very common handyman jobs (like painting, plumbing, etc).

TaskRabbit
You must describe your own task and wait for TaskRabbits to offer to help. But you can use a TaskRabbit for any job, no matter how odd it may seem.

As you can see from the list above, there are multiple options for booking your handyman online in a safe and simple way. Note: Not all of the services are offered in all cities, so you’ll have to check to see if each of those places above offer handymen in your area.
Share Your Opinion!
We can only book so many handyman jobs for our own office and home, so we haven’t been able to try out each of these services multiple times yet. So we’re looking for your opinions!
If you’ve used one of the services mentioned above (or another one), share in the comments. How was your experience with the ease of booking? With the contractor himself? Would you use the same service again or try a new one?
