Questions people ask

Where can I check a handyman's license?

If the work is plumbing, electrical or mechanical, use the Construction Industries Board licensee search. Roofing has its own registration search.

Does a small repair need a permit?

Ask the contractor to show you the permit before work begins if one is needed. Inside Oklahoma City, call the permit office at (405) 297-2525 to confirm.

Is there anything special about painting or drywall work in an old house?

For homes built before 1978, Oklahoma DEQ says larger paint-disturbing jobs and any window replacement need an RRP-certified firm. Ask whether the firm is certified.

How Local Times OKC lists and checks handyman services

Listings are free, and no business can pay to appear higher. Each checked fact on a card shows the date we checked it and links the page it came from: we confirm a listed website answers and shows the business's name or phone number, read the service area the business names on its own site, and look for a dated post or update there. Facts older than 6 months drop off. We do not use review stars or ratings from other sites. Items we have not checked yet are marked that way. How we list and check businesses.
