We knew what we wanted and had Mr. Gold come in to do measurements so we could custom order our cabinets. Once they arrived he started the demo work. It was really just a matter of one day to clear out the whole space. The demo was quick and clean and they were able to work around our infant's schedule which was really important us. Installment of the new cabinets, door knobs/door pulls, crown moulding, new appliances and countertops. We were especially pleased with his thoroughness and straight forward approach. We didn't know it at the time but there an issue with the kitchen sink, an access panel below behind the cabinets and the flooring directly below. Water had been leaking for years and there was damage to wall and floor. He investigated further and found damage on the opposite side where our bathroom is. Everything was patched up and repaired to our satisfaction and he made further suggestions as to how to handle the bathroom wall damage, though that was not part of the original project. (Check out my other review because we hired him again for our bathroom project where that wall was an issue.)

Dominion Granite and Marble made it an option for $250 extra, and Fairfax Marble and Granite refused to install it in one piece. Mark knew that a seam in the middle of it wouldn't look right and didn't charge me extra. He gave me a very reasonable quote before coming out to my house and then stuck with it. He didn't charge for all the extras that other places get your on ($75 per extra sink hole or outlet hole, etc) and they removed and disposed of our old countertops at no additional charge. Our cabinets weren't even close to level, but you wouldn't have known because they did a great job shimming them and making them level. Also, there were able to close a gap that we had behind our old countertop's backsplash and our walls. I'm so glad that I found them!

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.
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.
