Mano Dienste is a guide to hiring help for your home in the United States: contractors for repairs and renovations, movers for a big move, and nannies, housekeepers and caregivers who work in your home. Most problems with hired help are avoidable, and the checks that prevent them take minutes, not days.
Our guides
- Hiring Contractors: choosing a contractor, checking licenses and insurance, and contracts.
- Payments and Protection: liens, permits, repair scams and disputes.
- Movers and Home Help: interstate movers and household employees.
How we check our facts
The rules here come from the agencies that set them, including the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the IRS, FEMA and state contractor licensing boards. Because licensing, permit and lien rules vary by state and city, our guides say where local rules apply. AI tools are part of how we research and draft; nothing is published until it has been checked against those sources.
We don’t refer contractors
We don’t run a contractor directory, sell leads or take payment from contractors, movers or agencies.
