Lets Go Maintenance LLC
Before you hire
The $200 line matters. The city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) requires a Home Improvement Contractor license for work that costs more than $200 on a home, whatever the person calls themselves. Each business on this page shows its license number. If you hire someone without a license for a bigger job, you can’t claim from the city’s Trust Fund if things go wrong.
Plumbing and electrical are different. Even replacing a sink or a light fixture needs a licensed plumber or electrician, not a handyman; see who can do what in NYC. In a co-op or condo, check your building’s rules first.
Ask for a flat price or an hourly rate up front, and ask what the minimum charge is. Listings are free and are not endorsements. Spot an error? Contact us and we will fix it.
