Visit our Services pages to learn more about most of our popular tasks performed.
​
Many homeowners have a growing list of small projects that never seem to get done. Our handyman services are designed to take care of those items efficiently and professionally, saving you time while protecting the value and appearance of your home.
Are you licensed and insured for handyman services in Minnesota?
Yes. Minnetonka Home Services operates with the proper insurance coverage and professional standards expected of a trusted home service provider in Minnesota. Protecting our customers and their homes is extremely important to us, which is why we maintain appropriate liability protection for the work we perform.
​
Homeowners should always verify that anyone working on their property is insured. Hiring a properly insured handyman helps ensure your home, your property, and your investment are protected throughout the project.
How do you price your work—by the hour or by the project?
Our handyman services are typically priced by the project, depending on the type and scope of work. For straightforward repairs or maintenance tasks, we often provide a clear project estimate so you know exactly what to expect before work begins. We use a book rate for most predictable tasks and you can use Google or some type of AI agent to validate our pricing is fair and competitive.
Can you provide a written estimate before starting the job?
Yes and no. We believe every homeowner deserves clear communication and honest pricing. Whenever possible, Minnetonka Home Services provides written estimates for handyman and home repair projects before work begins. This allows you to understand the scope of work, expected cost, and timeline so you can make an informed decision. Our goal is to make home repairs simple, predictable, and stress-free. Most often, an estimate can be handled over the phone for simpler projects and perhaps a few photos/videos.
​
However, an estimate could change depending on "hidden unknowns" and this is where a "fixed quote" comes into play. When we provide a quote, we visit your home, inspect the project, look for any "hidden complications" that may affect the cost, head back to the office and research different solutions and find the supplies as needed for costing. Then we can create for you a custom fixed quote. This level of value is important because it protects you from cost increases. An estimate does not include a site visit and may change once work begins. The cost of the fixed quote, diagnostics, and research plus solutioning averages $150 and include one (1) on-site visit.
Do you offer any guarantees or warranties on your work?
Yes. Minnetonka Home Services stands behind the quality of our workmanship. If something isn’t right, we want to know about it so we can make it right.
​
Our reputation depends on satisfied homeowners, and we take pride in delivering dependable results you can trust. Quality workmanship and long-term relationships with our customers are always our priority.
Do you offer eco-friendly or low-impact repair options?
Whenever possible, we look for solutions that are both effective and responsible. Many modern products and cleaning techniques allow homeowners to maintain their homes while minimizing environmental impact.
​
For example, our soft-washing and exterior cleaning methods are designed to clean surfaces effectively while helping protect landscaping, siding, and surrounding materials.
How do you manage scheduling when multiple projects overlap?
We carefully manage scheduling to ensure every project receives the time and attention it deserves. Smaller handyman tasks are often grouped efficiently so homeowners can get multiple repairs handled during one visit.
​
Clear communication is part of our process, so you’ll always know when to expect us and how long your project should take.
Do you clean up the site after the work is done?
Absolutely. Respecting your home is a core part of our service. After completing a project, we make sure the work area is clean, organized, and ready for you to enjoy.
​
Professional cleanup is part of delivering a high-quality handyman experience. We believe the job isn’t finished until the space looks great and everything is put back in order.
Do you offer regular maintenance plans or recurring services?
Yes, many homeowners benefit from routine home maintenance services that keep their property in excellent condition year-round. Preventative maintenance can help avoid costly repairs and keep your home looking its best.
​
Minnetonka Home Services can assist with recurring services such as seasonal exterior cleaning, small repairs, and ongoing upkeep for busy homeowners.
How do you stay up to date with local building codes or regulations?
Professional home service providers must stay informed about current best practices and applicable regulations. We take that responsibility seriously with training, certifications and licensing.
​
Whenever work involves building standards or safety requirements, we ensure our methods follow appropriate guidelines so your home improvements are done correctly and responsibly.
