No licensing body means quality ranges from highly skilled tradesmen to hobbyists. A proper handyman arrives with cordless drills, masonry bits, stud finder, and anchor kits — and charges accordingly. One with only a screwdriver is a hobbyist. Pricing models also differ: per-job (fixed price), hourly (S\$40-80/hour), or half-day (S\$180-400).
Anything involving water supply lines, waste pipes, or electrical circuits. PUB requires licensed plumbers; EMA requires licensed electricians. Handymen offering "cheaper" plumbing or electrical work are breaking the law, and any resulting damage voids home insurance. Use handymen for furniture assembly, TV mounts, silicone reseals, door adjustment — not plumbing or electrical.
Small per-job rates: TV mount S\$60-120, curtain rod S\$40-80 per window, door hinge realignment S\$30-80. For 3-5 small jobs accumulated, half-day booking (S\$180-280 for HDB) is cheapest. Landed full-day booking (S\$400-700) clearing 8-15 jobs is the most cost-efficient way to handle backlog.
Specify scope in writing before booking — exact items, wall types if known, included materials. Get fixed-price quotes where possible. For hourly bookings, agree a cap and what triggers exceeding it. Handymen who refuse to specify scope or quote tight are planning to add charges on arrival.
Reputable handymen offer 30-day workmanship warranty — return free for curtain rods that fall, silicone that cracks, or TV mounts that wobble. Those who say "job done already" and ghost you when things fail are the pattern to avoid. Check Google reviews for post-job complaints before booking.
