Professionals typically have over 10 years of experience, are background checked, bonded and insured. They arrive in clearly marked company vehicles, in uniform, and guarantee their workmanship. Credentials can be verified with google reviews and official websites. Rates for professionals often run between $120-$160 per hour. Many reputable companies will now offer fixed rate pricing based on the task or scope of work, no matter how long it takes to complete the work.</p></div>

They hung pictures, installed curtain rods, put up a ceiling fan, and some other miscellaneous stuff. I thought their work was excellent, and would use them again.

Armando did an excellent job. He started work immediately and finished very quickly. Did a pretty large remodel in under two weeks. Didn't inflate his price at the end like some handymen and contractors will. Definitely recommend for those who need an experienced handyman.
