1.5k+ I have been a long time customer of Ron’s Tidy Tank. They serviced my septic system less than a year ago. I am an 81 year old women who lives alone.

Mr. Rooter Plumbing NE Illinois.We have had this company here for our pool heater about 5 times. It has failed to work for various reasons, 2 times mice got in it, one time a valve needed to be replaced and another time a switch needed to be replaced. The service was very good although a little price at times.. The...
I would highly recommend them. They did excellent service. It was great to deal with for a pool company.
We noticed a few silverfish in our house early in the summer. Combined with a spider issue in our newly finished basement, we figured it was time to call a pest-control expert. I should have done my research before I called Orkin, because they charged me $250 for a one-month service (as I...

Handyman doing light plumbing, electrical, moving, assembly, and general home repair. No remodeling or construction. I've been doing many types of repairs for over 30 years. Prompt response and on time to job sites.
"Mike has been an excellent friend and worker for me. I'm so thankful to have found him to take charge of returning a rental house into a prospective home to list on the market. He does great work, responds and communicates well. He's surprised me on a couple of occasions by taking care of some items I thought would require many more dollars to hire a contractor. I didn't mention I live 2,000 miles away from the rental, so it's been a godsend to have Mike onboard. Great guy, does great work."

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.
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.
You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:
Pros
Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.

Regular maintenance is necessary.
Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.

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.
