What services does a handyperson offer?

• <div><p>The appeal of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiring-quality-handyman-service.htm">hiring a handyperson</a> is two-fold: first, they usually cost less than hiring certified experts, and second, they complete a massive variety of projects, ranging from installing light fixtures and fixing plumbing leaks to refinishing wood floors and replacing doors in your home. Provided the job doesn’t require a specific license to complete—like a plumber’s license or electrician’s license—a handyperson will likely be able to tackle the work. Handypeople have a broad range of home improvement experience, so professionals can usually handle any project in your home that doesn’t need to be done by a licensed tradesperson.</p></div>

What do most handypeople charge per hour?

• <div><p>The average handyperson charges <b>$50 to $150</b> per hour. The exact amount varies based on several factors, including where you live, the difficulty of the job, and the handyperson’s level of experience. Other factors like the cost of travel, permits, and materials might come into play, too. Customers should also anticipate a minimum flat rate of around two hours of work for a handyperson to agree to a job.</p></div>

Can you use a dremel tool?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a dremel tool to cut plexiglass. Follow the instructions under “How to Cut Plexiglass with a Saw,” and use a dremel tool with a 561 bit instead of a saw.</p></div>

Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:</p><ul><li><p>Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom</p></li><li><p>Replacing plumbing pipes</p></li><li><p>Installing or repairing septic systems</p></li><li><p>Running new electrical wiring</p></li><li><p>Installing a subpanel</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do you really need soffits?

• <div><p>Almost all houses require soffits. The exception is in houses where you know without a shadow of a doubt there is adequate airflow throughout the entire house including, and most importantly, the attic. Almost all modern homes have soffits installed whether you notice them or not because on most homes, the roof eave extends beyond the walls of the home, naturally creating soffits. </p></div>

The service took awhile to get up and going, but we have no problems now. Their price is way to high. We had trouble with the cable at first, but it is right now.

Tony is awesome. He is a one man show but does bring in friends to help. He has done quality work and he is extremely nice. He doesn't really have a set schedule to work which is fine with us and also likes to socialize but he has done awesome work and cleans up after himself. He is even going...
