"Joe is one of the hardest workers I have ever seen. We have worked with many contractors and handyman's and we are VERY impressed. He starts his day early and stays much later then most. He takes 1 lunch break, and doesn’t stop all day. Our jobs were endless, long, and days were hot, and he didn’t complain once. He moved his schedule around to accommodate the extra work we needed. We highly recommend this company!! He is skilled and qualified!!"

"Saul proved to be very knowledgeable and professional. He consistently arrived at the agreed time. Saul had to rebolt the deck to the house. While repairing the steps attached to the deck, he found additional damage. He explained the situation, and fixed it accordingly. He also repaired a trellis, and rebuilt a shed door. It was important to Saul everything was completed to my satisfaction. Both he and his helper worked extremely neat, and cleaned up afterwards. I also discussed other projects I would like him to do. I highly recommend hiring him."

He scheduled us for next day service and the serviceman that came was on time,polite, and most importantly did an exceptional job on our bathroom repair.

"Working with Kenny at Swanhart Woodworking LLC was a terrific experience. He was able to design a dining room built-in and a custom mudroom for me based on pictures I had collected. The pieces that Kenny custom built are a beautiful addition to my home that I will enjoy for many years. He was professional in all aspects, finishing the job in a timely manner and always left my home clean and neat. I highly recommend this company for custom woodworking."

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Most professional appliance removal companies will not expect a tip, but offering one is a good way to show appreciation for a job well done. A tip of 10% to 20% is a good idea if your professionals are working in the rain or snow, if they take extra care not to damage your walls and furniture in the removal process, or if they need to maneuver the appliance through tight spaces or up or down stairs to get it out of your home.

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

The cost to hire a handyman can vary, with most charging on a per-hour or per-project basis. On average, expect to pay between $50 and $150 per hour, with a typical rate around $90 per hour. For project-based work, the average cost is about $400, though the total can range from as low as $180 to $1,500 or more. Some handypeople may also require a minimum flat rate, such as payment for two hours of work.

Several factors influence the final cost, including:

  • The type, size, difficulty, and complexity of the job

  • The amount of time the work takes

  • The handyman's experience level

  • Your geographic location

  • The cost of materials and any necessary permits

  • Accessibility of the work area and potential travel costs

Additionally, you may encounter higher rates or extra fees for emergency services or work scheduled during holidays.

You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).

Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.

Whether or not you’re moving the hookups or simply replacing your current units, you should hire a qualified appliance pro to install your new washer and dryer.
