"Poorly!! I would never hire again nor will I recommend them to anyone! Unprofessional, unprepared, wrecking crew that have no respect for your property or cleanup of any mess they create! Not only was work poorly done, but the biggest disaster was that they put oil stains on my newly installed driveway and large spills of rust water from old pipes too. When I complained, owner suggested that I try cat litter. I was shocked. Cat litter cleaned oil stains but rust cleaner was needed to clean the rust stains. Owner showed up 2 days later to pressure wash the remaining stains, which didn’t clean up anything. To date I still have stains on my driveway, which the owner condescendingly stated, “I’m sorry you have three small dots on your driveway”! I asked to be compensated and owner suggested that I call it even because he had costs too and his time spent pressure washing was valuable, texted me a copy of his store receipt and stopped responding. A company (so I thought) will work hard and spend money to rectify customer issues that their employees create, not treat them as if they did something wrong. I have photos attached so that you can see what was done to my brand new driveway! Stay away and please do something i obviously didn’t do before hiring; check out the complaints against them on the BBB site!"

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.
