"Jimenez Service responded to my Angi request within an hour. I explained the work to the office administrator. They had availability to do my work the same afternoon. The handyman was very polite, asked good questions, was up front with costs, and performed the work I requested within the same afternoon. He even fixed the hot tub motor, which I had not been sure could be repaired. The charge was as quoted, I payed on the spot, and can now move on with other things. I couldn’t be happier with this crew."

"We were able to schedule same day appointment, Will was on time and prepared. The price quoted was fair and comparably to other estimates. He did a great job with assembly, clean up and we were able to use immediately. I highly recommend Absolute Finishings for any handyman projects."

"I had an amazing experience and highly recommend him! I needed very large, heavy blackout curtains installed across a wide area of my loft, and the wall made the installation especially challenging. He did an incredible job making sure everything was installed securely, properly, and looked great. He also installed my electronic curtain openers and got everything set up perfectly. I can now open and close the curtains using Siri and Apple Home, which has been a huge upgrade. The blackout curtains are already making a noticeable difference in keeping my loft much cooler during the day. Beyond the quality of the work, he was extremely personable, professional, and easy to work with. His pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the difficulty of the installation. I will absolutely be using him again for other handyman projects around my home. Excellent work, great service, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

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:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

The cost to hire a handyman can vary, with most charging on a per-hour or per-project basis. On average, expect to pay between $50 and $150 per hour, with a typical rate around $90 per hour. For project-based work, the average cost is about $400, though the total can range from as low as $180 to $1,500 or more. Some handypeople may also require a minimum flat rate, such as payment for two hours of work.

Several factors influence the final cost, including:

  • The type, size, difficulty, and complexity of the job

  • The amount of time the work takes

  • The handyman's experience level

  • Your geographic location

  • The cost of materials and any necessary permits

  • Accessibility of the work area and potential travel costs

Additionally, you may encounter higher rates or extra fees for emergency services or work scheduled during holidays.

Pros save time and ensure quality by handling complex tasks and repairs efficiently.

Most professional appliance removal companies will not expect a tip, but offering one is a good way to show appreciation for a job well done. A tip of 10% to 20% is a good idea if your professionals are working in the rain or snow, if they take extra care not to damage your walls and furniture in the removal process, or if they need to maneuver the appliance through tight spaces or up or down stairs to get it out of your home.

Aside from a professional light installation company, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they’re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.
