I’m a proud mom of three who has always loved to build, fix, and create. My business was born from a passion for problem-solving and a drive to help my neighbors keep their homes in top shape. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I don't just "get the job done"—I ensure every detail is right before I leave. Whether it’s a quick repair or a creative project, I bring a keen eye and a helpful spirit to every home I enter.\n

"I had a tricky situation in my basement, which involves dry wall, electricity and water. I didn't even know what type of contractors I need to get due to the complexity, so I decided to try handyman service, because I need some people who are truly versatile. Corey and William responded to my request within minutes, came to my house for estimation within an hour, and gave me the estimate within hours. They came up with a solution that is both practical and aesthetic, with very reasonable price. They came to do the job a few days later at a day and time of my choice, and completed the job in a very neat and efficient way. Their versatility solved a big problem for me in such a short time. I'm very happy with their work and will definitely hire them again in the future for any handyman service. I highly recommend them."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).

Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.

If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

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.

Aside from a professional light installation company, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they’re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.
