"These installers will do a great job with the actually installation. In my case, I wanted to install my antenna's in the attic. After the installation, vhs (particularly PBS) signal did not come in. I followed up to see if an adjustment could be made to try to get pbs. The correspondence got into a couple of minor issues that we disagreed about, but the main point was that i couldn't get pbs. They offered to come install the antenna outside, which i turned down. I called PBS and gave them the antenna model installed. They told me that the problem was likely that the model was designed for UHF. I googled Antenna's Direct and talked to their tech support. They confirmed that the antenna I had was likely the issue with VHF but would be very good for UHF. They suggest that I add a VHF only antenna and a UHF/VHF combiner. They looked up my address and told me exactly where to place the VHF antenna. It took me an hour or so to set up the VHF antenna, run the cable and hook up the combiner. They also directed me to Amazon where I could buy the antenna and combiner I needed. IT WORKED GREAT! All the UHF & VHF channels I need and more. Bottom line is that this company is great on installation. The installer did a very good job and they adjusted my bill for a travel time question. However, they didn't know about the UHF/VHF issue that Antenna's Direct knew about immediately. I would recommend talking to tech support at Antenna's Direct before any installation to ensure the antennas are correct and follow up with Antenna's Direct before deciding on any adjustments or moving the antennas from your preferred location."

"The company was paid to diagnose and fix a leak to my roof. They determined that a small patch of roof needed to be replaced. A couple of weeks later the leak continued from the same spot in the ceiling. The tech again came out and claimed it was another leak in a different spot although the leak inside was in the exact same spot. They did not fix the problem the first time and wanted more money for this “new leak.”"

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.
If your TV antenna is good quality and was installed by a professional, you can expect it to last between 10 and 20 years without needing repair or replacement. This can vary based on your geographic location, weather conditions, and antenna location.
The cost to repair your TV antenna is around $200 for the average homeowner. However, charges could be as low as $60 or as high as $450. Factors such as multidirectional or unidirectional, indoor or outdoor, and amplified or non-amplified all play an essential role in determining the cost of your repair. For example, outdoor antennas cost more on average to repair than indoor ones, much like amplified antennas cost more to repair than unamplified ones.
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.
Before your TV antenna stops working, there are a few ways to tell it’s starting to break. Some common signs that your antenna needs repair include:
A repetitive “no signal” issue
A redundant “searching” issue
Increased signal issues during a cloudy or rainy day
A sudden drop in signal strength, regardless of the weather
If you’re experiencing these problems, you’ll want to ensure that your cables are still in good shape and have not deteriorated. In addition, check to make sure that your cables are firmly in place at the wall outlet. Finally, check the position of your antenna to ensure there are no obstructions in its path. If you’ve checked your antenna thoroughly and are still having these problems, a repair is most likely needed by an antenna technician.
