About Oakland Property Services.

Why call us instead of a single-guy operation

Hiring a handyman usually means one of two bad options. The big national chains churn through handymen — different guy every week, no accountability, missed details, surprise add-ons. The one-person operators are great until they get sick, take a vacation, or get booked out for a month. Customers end up bouncing between bad options, and the small stuff never gets done.

We built Oakland Property Services to be the one call you need. You tell us what's on the list — no job too small — and we schedule a vetted local handyman, handle the billing, and stay on the job until it's done right.

What we actually do

Three things, plainly:

• We answer and schedule — you call or request a quote, we confirm pricing and get a job on the calendar
• We vet and staff every job — verify insurance, licensing, references, and customer history before a handyman joins our network
• We bill you and stand behind the work — one invoice from us, and we follow up afterward to confirm you're satisfied

You deal with Oakland Property Services, start to finish. The handyman who shows up is a vetted, insured independent pro from our network — but your call, your quote, and your invoice all come from us.

How we vet handymen

Every professional accepted into our network has been:

• Verified as a registered Michigan business (LLC or DBA on file)
• Confirmed to carry $1M general liability insurance — we hold a copy of their COI
• Confirmed to hold applicable city-level business licensing where required
• Background-checked at the business owner level via a third-party screening service
• Verified through 2+ customer references contacted directly
• Required to commit to network standards in a signed Service Provider Agreement

If a professional stops meeting any of these, they're removed from the network. We'd rather match you with a smaller pool of vetted professionals than a larger pool of unverified ones.

You deal with us, not a stranger subcontractor

We handle: your call, your quote, scheduling, billing, and any job-specific issues. If something comes up mid-job, you call us — not a number you don't recognize.

Behind the scenes: we vet and staff the handyman who does the physical work, and we follow up after every job. If a quality issue comes up, we fix it — including sending a different handyman out if that's what it takes, on our dime, not yours.

Locally owned, locally focused

We're based in Oakland County and serve homeowners across Wayne, Oakland & Macomb counties. We're not a national franchise with a corporate office in another state, and we're not a tech company in San Francisco scraping handyman listings. The handymen in our network live and work in this area, and so do we.

If something ever goes sideways, that's a feature — there's a real owner you can talk to, not a customer service portal overseas.

Insurance & licensing

Oakland Property Services is a licensed Michigan business. Every handyman we schedule also carries their own $1M general liability insurance and applicable trade-specific licensing for the work they perform. Property managers, realtors, and HOAs can request a Certificate of Insurance before service — just ask us.
