1.2k+ He did a great job, but he caulked the threshold with silicon caulk.. Never heard of that before, and had to clean the smeared caulk off the new floor. But I am grateful that he put the new casing on the door for me, which was not part of the job at no cost.
I & A RemodelingMatt is excellent. This is the third time I've used him. I did ask him to use a premium caulk this time around (lasts years longer than regular). He went out and bought it, used it, and left the rest with me. I paid him for the caulk ($25 vs $7 for a regular grade), got a great deal with an...
Mr GroutChris answered the phone and he was here a couple hours later. While walking through the inspection, he pointed out hot spots that I should repair, old or missing caulking. Chris then did his job and our uninvited guests should be gone. As always pricing is very fair and Bigfoot does the...

The Grout Medic of Fox RiverThe service turned out fine. There were no additional costs, and I provided the caulk for them to caulk.
When I called Doug, I was looking for a pest control service that would go above and beyond what other services provide. Basically, I needed someone to not only apply pesticide to take care of our carpenter bee problem, but I also wanted someone who would be willing to caulk the holes after...
I scheduled the service because I was pretty sure my upstairs A/C unit needed freon, the A-coil had started to freeze up when I had run it purposefully for a long period of time, that unit needed 2 pounds of freon. The other unit did not require any freon. The work Fred performed for the...
Air-Rite Heating & Cooling IncExcellent. Mr. Plummer painted a large square footage 2br, 2ba condo unit in one day plus a few hours. He also beautifully re-caulked the shower, bath and kitchen areas.

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.
Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:
Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew
Provide realistic cost estimates
Develop construction timelines
Ensure deadlines are met
Acquire permits as needed
Purchase supplies and materials
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
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.
