Professionals typically have over 10 years of experience, are background checked, bonded and insured. They arrive in clearly marked company vehicles, in uniform, and guarantee their workmanship. Credentials can be verified with google reviews and official websites. Rates for professionals often run between $120-$160 per hour. Many reputable companies will now offer fixed rate pricing based on the task or scope of work, no matter how long it takes to complete the work.</p></div>

Mr. Handyman, Inc's price was a little steep but they did extras, they showed up on time, and their responsiveness was very good. I would get an estimate of what it costs beforehand but I would use them again in the future.
