A Handyman for Vacation Rentals

E-Z Home Services reviewers describe a guest-reported toilet fixed between check-out and check-in, Jack of All Trades HHI works on rental properties, and Southern Services rental owners describe projects managed from out of town.
Keep a handyman’s number in the owner’s notes for the cleaners and the property manager, and agree how small jobs are approved and billed. For locks and keypads, see the best locksmiths on Hilton Head.
When a Handyman Is Enough, and When You Need a Contractor
Repairs, mounting, assembly, trim and small fixes are handyman work. Electrical, plumbing and heating and air conditioning work needs a Town building permit and a licensed contractor; Southern Services holds an unlimited general contractor’s license and has electricians and plumbers on staff.
Check a contractor’s license at llr.sc.gov before you sign, and see the licensing section of home services on Hilton Head Island. For a bigger job, see the best electricians and best plumbers on Hilton Head.
What a Handyman Costs on Hilton Head
Most handymen charge by the hour or by the job, often with a minimum visit. The cost depends on how many small jobs are on the list, whether parts or materials are needed, and how far the job is from the shop.
Make one list and book one visit rather than calling for each small job. For the Bluffton side of the bridges, see the best handyman in Bluffton, SC.
