Poillon ElectricJonathan with Proelco is a wonderful electrician and beautifully accomplished our big electrical upgrade in our new house in Joshua Tree, CA.

Efficient, professional and speedy installation. Todd has a facility for explaining what he intends to do regarding the job (and why) in layman's terms. No jargon. In my opinion a very good businessman and an indispensable vendor when you have electrical issues.
Hill Electric IncI recently contacted Garage and Closet Kingdom regarding an installation question, I was very pleased with their immediate response time. I would most defiantly contact Garage and Closet Kingdom in the future for my garage and closet needs. I appreciated their professionalism.
I bought this house in June. It is my first. The previous owners put in a sprinkler system right before closing, but then failed to provide me with any outline, manual, directions, etc. I had no idea about winterization. So, after this particularly wicked recent winter, it is no surprise...
Apparently the shingles he recommended and which I selected were high quality materials. The completed job looked OK, but it turned out that the shingles had been installed with nails that were too short. Within a couple of years shingles began blowing off. (The roofing contractor who...

"Jesse was extremely nice and informative; he helped me trouble shoot before he came over and told me what to do and check for. After performing the trouble shooting I figured out the problem was a short in a power strip I had plugged in the garage. I would definitely recommend him as he is kind, honest and extremely knowledgable."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
