Ayotte Home Improvements is a fully licensed and insured remodeling/construction company. We offer free estimates and years of experience.Take a look at our website for some of our past projects.
"We were very happy with Bob Ayotte and his team and would hire them again. We hired Ayotte Home Improvements to remodel the two and a half bathrooms in our ~25-year old house. In the two full bathrooms they stripped everything down to the studs, replaced vanity, counter tops, sinks, and toilets, and installed tile in the new bath/showers. They started demolition in January and received final sign-off from the local building inspector in April. Bob’s team was very respectful of the rest of our house, doing everything within their power to reduce the spread of dust and dirt from the construction areas. All work done was high quality. Of exceptional note was the tile work. Brian at Nashua Tile was extremely helpful in choosing the right style and colors for the bath/shower tiles to coordinate with our counter tops and overall color scheme. Kirk, who installed the tiles did a meticulous job and the result added a real visual “pop” to the two full bathrooms. As with any project of this scope, there were issues to be transcended. When the newly installed shower plumbing leaked, Bob recalled his plumber to address the issue through the hallway wall and arranged for re-plastering and painting. Similarly, when the wrong toilet and fixtures were installed and the faucet leaked, the plumber fixed the issue with little to no impact to the overall schedule. Bob’s allowances were reasonable, allowing for “better” on a scale of “good, better, best”. Our selections, which included some “best” toilets and shower fixtures, came in very close to Bob’s original allowances. Bob’s preferred suppliers were easy to work with, although those with 9 to 5 jobs may find their scarcity of evening and weekend hours problematic. Overall, a great experience!"

Family owned handyman services. Licensed and fully insured. Quality workmanship. We guarantee it is done right the first time.
"I hired Daniel to replace a door and replace weatherstripping around two other doors. He also painted my back door. The weatherstripping soon failed and came off the doors, and the paint job was poorly executed. This spring, I was preparing to move and discovered that he had dumped all his construction debris, including the old door, behind my garage and onto my neighbor's property. I also discovered he had thrown scrap wood in my bushes next to the house. He also had issues with promptness."

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.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
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.
