How much do handymen charge?

<div>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">cost to hire a handyman</a> 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. </div>

What are my options when it comes to countertops?

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/countertop-types-materials.htm">countertop options</a> available to fit your lifestyle and needs. <ul><li>Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.</li><li>Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.</li><li>Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.</li><li>Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.</li><li>Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.</li><li>Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.</li><li>Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.</li><li>Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.</li></ul></div>

What's the cost to install countertops?

<div>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-countertops.htm#cost-by-material">cost to install countertops</a> 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.</div>

What questions should I ask a handyman?

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiring-quality-handyman-service.htm">questions or things to know before hiring a handyman</a> to do any work in your home.<ul><li>What kind of work do they do?</li><li>Do they have proper licensing?</li><li>Do they charge for estimates?</li><li>Is the estimate for both labor and materials?</li><li>Do they provide references?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee?</li><li>When can you start and finish the job?</li><li>Do you have any before and after photos of your work?</li><li>How long have you been doing this kind of work?</li><li>Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?</li></ul></div>

Should handymen be certified or licensed?

<div>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local handymen guidelines.</div>

Located in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Your reliable handymen can handle anything inside and outside of your residential property. Your property, our pride!

"When I submitted the project, they came up immediately as interested. I received an automated text saying that they would be happy to help with the project and asking for more details. I replied asking them to call me to discuss the details. Waited a day or 2 - no call. I replied again asking for a call. Waited a day - no call. I then called their number an left a voicemail message. Have not received a call back. It appears they have an auto response to the submitted projects set up, but are no really interested in the business."

I have many references from satisfied customers over 20 years now--as my reviews indicate. I generally handle one project at a time--as a rule-- and I give my full attention to each project. I am available to help with all aspects of the project from concept to finish. I am also architecturally qualified to assist in the design concepts. I personally do most of the detail work and finish work myself and am qualified as a master-carpenter. I'm probably one of the few "working contractors" still around. My rates are very reasonable and I can usually work within a customer's budget. 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2021 Super Service Award Winner in Dutchess County , Remodeling - Kitchens & Bathrooms are my specialty.

"Let me start by saying that John is our hero - we had been looking for someone to do our bathroom for a reasonable price for over 2 years. 12 years ago I used a general contractor to remodel my bathroom, and had nothing but issues from cracked grout to leaks inside the walls and rotting supports. John came in the fall of 2024, inspected the site, understood that this was our only bathroom and worked with us to expedite our renovation. He is extremely focused on problem resolution, patiently explaining each issue he uncovered, showing what was wrong and how to make it right, and keeping costs from spiraling out of control. Our new bathroom is fresh and modern, and more importantly leak free. I have been enjoying this bathroom since the project finished in December. John is fantastic!"
