"I hired him to mount a TV on the wall. He was very nice and professional. Also did not leave a mess. My only complaint would be that he didn't have a professional receipt book, but he did make me a receipt. Great all around!!!"

"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!"

"I’ve used Vilardo Residential Services several times and highly recommend Julian for handyman and home improvement projects. Scheduling is easy, pricing is reasonable, and the quality of his work is excellent. What sets Julian apart is that he is conscientious, detail-oriented, respectful, and professional. He takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about how the finished project looks. He’s also knowledgeable and great at talking through design ideas, which is a huge plus. For my recent project, Julian installed crown molding, chair rail, and decorative trim around a window and along a wall. He also installed a new bathroom mirror, towel rack, toilet paper holder, and curtain rod. I completed the painting and wallpapering myself, but his trim and installation work brought everything together beautifully. Excellent workmanship, attention to detail, and service. Well worth the money. I’ll continue using Vilardo Residential Services and continue recommending Julian"

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
