In addition to repairing our dishwasher, Frank checked out our electric panel in another area of the house, marked the switch for future reference / need with dishwasher. In my opinion, this is going above and beyond expectations. We would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Rhode Island ApplianceWould not hire again. Poor communication and workmanship. 1-2 day repair took 9 days after I had to contact the owner. See my google review for pics and a more thorough recap. Work had been done unsafe, damage was caused to my central AC system, and scrap had been dumped behind my property...
PLJ Carpentry IncThe repair was excellent and the process went very smoothly. Luis met with me several times to go over the details of the repair, the associated costs, and the timeline. He met me according to my schedule, either early morning or after work. We had no surprises during the repair. Luis'...
Lecla Home Improvements and Roofing Inc.Fast response from owner. Not an emergency but he made appointment for less than 24 hours.

Looks much simpler, cleaner & sturdier under sink...

Countertops By Superior IncStephan did an amazing job - very professional work performed. No one is able to even tell that there were issues prior to Stephan repairing. I will definitely utilize this company again in the future. :)
H.S. REMODELING, LLCThe fellow that came out knew what he was doing but he didn't know exactly where the repairs supposed to be made. We had to instruct him as the owner had told us what needed to be repaired. There seem to be a lack of communication. The price was fine. The repair was held up as far as I know,...
Roofing DoctorThe Smart Choice serviceman came and assessed the situation. He did not have one of the bulbs he needed in his truck, so he left for a short time and went to a local store to buy what he needed. He returned and completed the repair.

"The hot water tank replacement was completed above and beyond my expectations! The timing of this repair could not have been any more stressful as I was leaving for vacation the following day! However, before I left for vacation the tank had already been delivered and the work had been scheduled. The warranties were explained, all costs were clearly identified in advance and when we return home from vacation we had a brand new properly functioning hot water tank! I would absolutely hire them to do any work necessary in my house!"

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.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
