Handyma’am Catskills Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Handyma’am?

So glad you asked.
Handyma’am is a queer owned and operated handy business! We can fix, install and create (almost) anything. We offer service in Brooklyn + Manhattan and the CATSKILLS!

Just like a handyman, but better.

Why Handyma’am?

Because we believe a good handy person shouldn’t be hard to find! Because sometimes you need more than just a handyman. Because you don’t live here full time and your renters just clogged the sink. Because you’re finally ready to stop putting off that project.
Because your home is special and we want you to love it.
… And because we want to meet your dog.

What are your rates?

Most work is estimated by the job but we have a minimum charge of $160 on most jobs. We offer hourly and full day rates. If you’re located in Jeffersonville, Bethel or Callicoon and are in need of a quick fix, let me know - we can often squeeze those jobs in quickly and without a minimum charge.

Why are your rates higher than others?

We are licensed, insured and we carry workers compensation for all employees. Those overheads costs are significant, necessary and required by law. Those costs are reflected in our rates.
