Brian is an excellent carpenter and pays very close attention to details. Steve is an excellent all around "handyman" and painter/stainer who takes pride in doing a job well. Kevin asked and confirmed where items were to be installed, and performed a wide variety of tasks well, including the demolition, insulation, and moulding installation. On this job subcontractors were used for the plumbing, electric, tile installation, and shower enclosure installation. There were numerous issues with the plumber: water pipes run on incorrect side (hot on left side) inside the wall of one shower when there was no need to reverse them because they were completely new runs from the basement immediately below the bathroom; the pedestal of the sink was installed upside down; the toilet was not seated properly; and the shower valve was installed incorrectly because they did not account for the reversal of the pipes in the wall which caused the temperature adjuster inside the valve to malfunction. All the plumbing issues were in the first bath to be remodeled. I spoke to Rick about the problems and I fired the plumber hired by Vann Remodeling, then I hired a plumber of my choosing to correct the issues and finish the installations in the second bathroom. Rick adjusted the cost of the plumbing portion of the contract, although the adjustment covered less than a third of the cost of the new plumber. The electrician installed the incorrect type of timer switch to control the exhaust fans. I found the error when I read the boxes and insert materials. I called the switch manufacturer to confirm and was told the installed switches were not applicable to service devices with a motor; they were for use with incandescent lights only. The manufacturer's service representative gave me the correct product number to use for the exhaust fans. I called Rick, who called the electrician and he corrected the switch installations. The boxes clearly stated the switches were not for motorized devices. Mistakes happen, and I'm glad that I ask for all boxes and inserts for all materials be left for me to review and dispose or keep for my records. The tile sub-contractor did excellent work. The tile contractor did a masterful job of designing the wall installation to avoid the the shower fixtures and light switches interfering with the decorative design, and accommodating the floor design to account for the unusual shape of the vanity base in the larger bathroom. The shower enclosure installations went perfectly. In one bath it is a corner-angled enclosure that is framed, and in the large shower with the bench it is a frameless all glass enclosure. Precision Glass and Mirror did the installation, and I highly recommend them. In 2010 when Vann Remodeling redid the family room and half-bath a drywall sub-contractor was hired. This time the Vann Remodeling crew did the drywall finishing. That is not their specialty and unfortunately it shows as some of the screw heads and tape lines show. The carpentry work they did is excellent. They installed a linen cabinet, vanity, and wall cabinet in the bathrooms. The door replacements and new moulding installations surrounding each door and bathroom window were professionally completed. Steve did a professional job staining and finishing all the windows, painting all the new moulding and doors, and both bathrooms. The final charge for the window refinishing was increased by over $800 from the original estimate. This up-charge was added because Rick did not originally account for the grilles in all the windows, even though the grilles were in the windows when he came to do the estimate. The largest issue I have with Vann Remodeling is that the estimates are a paragraph with a total estimated price, and not an itemized cost estimate. That makes it difficult to know exactly what is and isn't included in the price estimate--for example the window grilles and cost for the work to be done by the plumber. Vann Remodeling has done several jobs for me including: building a 10x12 shed with concrete floor; replacing all the windows, including a large picture and a bay; gutting and remodeling the family room and half-bath/laundry room; and remodeling a three-season room. Any work that involves carpentry and painting I would highly recommend them. If there is plumbing or electrical work be aware that Rick will be hiring sub-contractors and as I learned with this job, sometimes there are problems with them.

FAQs for plumbing handyman service projects in Ballston Spa, NY
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.
