He often had to use imagination and ingenuity to make some things work. For example, he installed the floor & toilet first, since there is only one bathroom. He had to ?retro-fit? much of the plumbing because of issues with the very old ?galvanized? piping. He had to measure very carefully for the floor/ceiling trim, etc. due to some ?settling? of walls. Mark is very easy to work with and very flexible with schedules. He works with an eye toward perfection and will do whatever it takes to get the job done! I love my new bathroom and plan to use Mark?s services again. I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a multi-talented handyman professional.

They were very impatient the entire time. They dismissed my questions and seemed inconvenienced by the visit. The main plumber even said that he had had a terrible day and "didn't feel like" spending much time on our estimate. He gave us a ballpark and said he would send a better estimate via email. We did not receive the estimate until almost two weeks later, even though he said at the time that the pipe should be fixed immediately. We had someone else do the work, and that company had the estimate that afternoon. Also, two other plumbers who gave us estimates told us that something Modern Plumbing said needed fixing did not, in fact, need to be repaired. The ballpark estimate we got from Modern Plumbing included an extra $90 for the repair that they said we needed but did not need. I was uncomfortable with them in our home, and felt that they were uninterested in treating us with respect but very interested in seeing how much money they could get out of us.

FAQs for plumbing handyman service projects in Colon, MI
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.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
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.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
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.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
