"I had a variety of small handyman projects - replacing doorknobs, patching holes, fixing molding, etc. the guys were very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They took off their shoes to enter the hose, and did a great job, and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!"

"Very good. I had one small problem. They were going to clean the windows and screens. The man was trying to use a bucket of water instead of using a hose. They were a little off. They did have a man there overseeing the work. Very good overall. I do plan on using them again."

"Luis the handyman worked at my house on several different occasions. I found him to be remarkably skilled in many diverse areas, and he solved a great many problems. He is very knowledgeable, responsible, diligent, and hard-working. He takes pains to do the job right. Without question, I would not hesitate to hire him in the future, and in fact am arranging to do so."

"Ken was very easy to work with and obviously knows his business. He let us know promptly if he was running late on starting the project, and after that showed up on time and worked well until the project was completed. This was a tricky project, finishing work started by others, and using a limited supply of special wood trim. He was able to accomplish everything to our satisfaction and we would recommend him completely."

"I highly recommend K&C Home Services LLC! Jorge is very professional, friendly and expedient with responses, provided a very detailed estimate after doing a home visit to see what project I wanted done and scheduled the work within 2 weeks of our initial call. Santos on his team did excellent work on my home project and was very professional and friendly as well. I will certainly utilize K&C for future projects!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

A handyperson is the professional term used to describe professional fixers who can tackle a wide range of general home repairs. Some pros may prefer to use the term handyworker, handyman, or handywoman, so we recommend politely asking your pro how they would like you to identify them during the project.

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.

While handypeople do not need to be licensed in many places, you should only hire insured pros for any home improvement work. Your handyperson should have active liability coverage that protects them and you in the case of an error or accident. Furthermore, if they have employees on your property, they should also have workers’ compensation insurance. If you hire an individual or a company that is not insured and they damage your property, have an accident while on the job, or become injured on your property without insurance, you can be held financially liable.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
