Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average price for a DIY service?

The average hourly rate for a handyman service on Yoojo ranges from 16 to 20 €. Each handyman sets their own price based on their experience, equipment, and availability. You can compare profiles, genuine reviews, and displayed rates before booking, with no hidden costs.

What types of work can a private handyman carry out at home?

A handyman can handle small repairs and home improvements: assembling furniture, installing shelves, hanging curtains, repairing small items, occasional painting, applying sealant, replacing light bulbs or locks, and minor carpentry work. On Yoojo, profiles detail their skills and completed projects. Describe your project precisely (photos are welcome) when you submit your request to receive a fair and accurate quote tailored to your needs.

Can a private handyman carry out electrical or plumbing work?

For minor jobs (changing a light fixture, replacing a seal, cleaning a drain), yes. For regulated work (rewiring an electrical system, connecting to the panel, installing a water heater), call a certified professional with the appropriate insurance. On Yoojo, some handymen are electricians or plumbers by trade: check their profile, qualifications, and reviews.

Should the DIYer be provided with the materials or should they bring them themselves?

Most Yoojo handymen arrive with their basic tools (drill, screwdriver, level, tape measure). However, specific supplies (screws, wall plugs, paint, sealant, replacement parts) are generally your responsibility, purchased according to their recommendations. Specify in your request if you would like the handyman to purchase the small supplies themselves: they can add this service to their quote, with an invoice to support it.

How can I accurately describe my request to a handyman to get a fair quote?

Describe the job in a few clear sentences: the item to be repaired or installed, the materials involved, the surface area or dimensions, and the initial condition. Add photos from the Yoojo app or website; they prevent 80% of misunderstandings. Specify the estimated duration, any access constraints (floor, elevator, parking), and your availability. The more detailed your request, the more accurate and predictable the quote will be on the day of the service.

Is a private individual doing the work covered in case of damage caused during the intervention?

All payments via Yoojo are secure, and each service is governed by the platform's terms and conditions. Each service is protected up to 250 € by our Yoojo Cover insurance, and you can increase this to 1 500 € by choosing Yoojo Cover Plus when booking. For larger projects, some professional handymen also have their own professional liability insurance: request proof of insurance in the comments section of your request before booking.

What is the difference between hiring a private handyman and a construction company?

A construction company handles large projects requiring multiple trades (bricklayer, plumber, electrician, etc.), with solid insurance coverage, but at much higher rates. A private handyman on Yoojo handles small, everyday repairs at a much more affordable rate (from 16 to 20/hour). You compare verified profiles and choose based on reviews.
