It varies by pro. Each profile shows which credentials our team has checked and the date of that check — a pro without badges has not been reviewed, which is not the same as having failed a review. We do not monitor credentials after the check, so ask for a current certificate of insurance before work begins. Licensing requirements differ by state and by the specific work — check the Texas licensing board and confirm a pro's credentials before you book.

Sometimes — it depends on which pros currently cover Austin and how booked they are. Use the search above and filter by 'available today' to see real availability. For genuine emergencies (burst pipes, no heat, sparking outlets) contact an emergency service directly rather than waiting on a booking.

A handyman generally handles smaller repairs and installations, while larger structural, electrical-panel and plumbing work typically requires a licensed contractor. Many states set a dollar threshold or work-type limit above which a license is required, and those rules vary — check the Texas licensing board for the current requirements where you live.
