What it does
Handy provides booking for cleaning and smaller household tasks, alongside quote requests for larger improvement projects. Its app supports appointments, provider messaging and profile viewing.
Handy makes a useful distinction between booking a defined task and asking for quotes on a larger project. Cleaning, furniture assembly and wall hanging are presented as bookable service types, while substantial remodelling follows a different enquiry route. Start by deciding which kind of work you have, then use the matching workflow. The app keeps appointment management and provider messaging together. Its stated platform guarantee is tied to booking and paying through Handy, so an arrangement made elsewhere should not be assumed to carry the same terms.
Check the cancellation terms for the actual booking and any cleaning-plan commitment. Handy’s standard appointment terms allow fee-free changes more than 24 hours ahead, while late changes can cost up to the appointment amount. A plan with a minimum commitment has additional conditions.
