"Chris is extremely efficient and accurate. He completed A LOT of tasks in a few hours. I was amazed. Communication is easy. He has a unique pricing policy, which I still have to fully understand, but I know I’m getting VALUE for my money. I’ve hired him to return and he will be doing my projects from now on. It’s a relief for me to have a trustworthy and easy going problem solving handyman."

"I recently hired a handyman for some home repairs, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment he arrived, he was punctual and ready to work. His professionalism stood out immediately; he took the time to assess the tasks at hand, explained what he would be doing, and answered all my questions with patience. The quality of his work was exceptional. He tackled various tasks—from fixing leaky faucets to patching drywall—and each job was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. It was clear he takes pride in his work, as everything was finished to a high standard. Additionally, he maintained a clean workspace, which I appreciated. It’s always nice to have someone who respects your home. I highly recommend this handyman to anyone in need of reliable and skilled help. His combination of punctuality, professionalism, and quality workmanship makes him a standout choice. I will definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

In most states, handypeople do not need to be licensed to perform simple home repair tasks and smaller jobs. When projects exceed specific cost amounts, however, ranging from $500 in California to $50,000 in other states, some municipalities consider them to be contractors, meaning they need to be licensed. To learn if your handyperson should be licensed to work on your job, contact your local governing body or state contractors’ licensing board before starting any work.

Before hiring a handyperson, it's important to ask several questions to ensure they are the right fit for the job. Key areas to cover include their experience, logistics, and job specifics.

Experience and Qualifications:

  • What kind of work do you specialize in?

  • How long have you been doing this kind of work?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have references?

  • Can you provide before-and-after photos of your work?

Estimates and Contracts:

  • Do you charge for estimates?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • Does the estimate cover both labor and materials?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

Project Details and Guarantees:

  • When can you start the job, and how long do you expect it to take?

  • Do you provide a guarantee for your work?

  • Will you handle cleanup and waste disposal after the job is finished?

  • Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

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.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

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.
