"Ed and his team did a wonderful job assembling our gazebo for our new patio. They were on time and worked hard all day until the job was completed. It was refreshing to have such great service and a professional respectful team. I am waiting for an estimate for more to have more work done. I would recommend this company without hesitation."

Customers say: True professional

"We initially reached out to Chris in connection with a few small projects (fixing a leaky roof, hanging art, installing curtain rods, etc.) that we needed done around our house. Once we met Chris and realized how competent and helpful he is, we decided to hire him not only for those projects, but also to install flooring, paint staircases, and renovate our bathrooms. Chrisâ s work is impeccably done and he is very thoughtful in how he approaches his workâ always asking us our thoughts when appropriate and communicating clearly and with photos. Chris provides a detailed breakdown of his work and what each element will cost, which has been really helpful for us in planning out the work weâ d like Chris to approach first. In renovating our bathroom, Chris even provided some really helpful advice on what materials to choose and gave suggestions on what fixtures (toilet, light fixture, sink, etc.)!would look best for our style of home. Heâ s been a fantastic collaborator at every turn and weâ re looking forward to working with Chris on more home improvement projects in the coming years."

"Phil was professional and a good advisor for my home projects. He fixed broken doors, completed a full paint job, and also recommended tile work in the kitchen that up-leveled the appearance and value of our home. I would hire Phil again for my next project."

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

The cost to hire a handyman can vary, with most charging on a per-hour or per-project basis. On average, expect to pay between $50 and $150 per hour, with a typical rate around $90 per hour. For project-based work, the average cost is about $400, though the total can range from as low as $180 to $1,500 or more. Some handypeople may also require a minimum flat rate, such as payment for two hours of work.

Several factors influence the final cost, including:

  • The type, size, difficulty, and complexity of the job

  • The amount of time the work takes

  • The handyman's experience level

  • Your geographic location

  • The cost of materials and any necessary permits

  • Accessibility of the work area and potential travel costs

Additionally, you may encounter higher rates or extra fees for emergency services or work scheduled during holidays.

There are a few advantages to hiring a handyperson as a contractor, namely that they will likely charge less for their services since they don’t have as much overhead. A handyperson might also have more flexibility and be more involved in your specific home project, so you can communicate with one person instead of a subcontractor team.

Reviewing your contract for termination terms is best when ending a relationship with a contractor. If there is nothing in the contract or you had a verbal agreement, communicate your decision in writing, citing specific reasons. Afterward, pay for the completed work per your original agreement. Remember you want a record of all correspondence in case you need a lawyer later to settle disputes.

Hiring a handyperson offers several benefits. They can save you time and hassle by completing tasks you may not have the time or experience to do yourself. A key advantage is ensuring the project is done correctly, which can prevent future issues and save money in the long run. For projects that pose safety risks, hiring an experienced professional is a much safer option. Additionally, handypeople are often more available for smaller jobs that larger contractors may not have the schedule for.
