3.8k+ While the serviceman Anthony was very nice, this was unfortunately the worst quality maintenance service I've ever received. I told Anthony I needed my small TV mounted, a light curtain hung, 2 plant hooks, and 3 pictures on the wall. I am not exaggerating when I say every service Anthony...
Jeeves Handyman of WashingtonExcellent! Ricky and his team were fast and thorough. I was worried about the plaster wall, but he was able to install the TV and disguise the wires using a wire cover. He reinstalled the cable boxes and sound bars. We are very pleased with his work and would 100% hire him again.
Went beautifully and quickly, this TV repair shop does superlative work!!
Excellent experience from initial consult with Jennifer to installation.
Closet America, LLCBarrett's did a terrific job. They showed up on time, the two workers were cheerful and enthusiastic about their work, and they worked independently on the installation until it was complete. They then connected cable to my TVs and programmed all the channels. They showed me how everything...
If I remember correctly Mr. Davis was on time. He gave me a list of things to buy and left. He then returned and fixed the TV.

These guys are a scam. No prices and I told them to have the repair person call me before arriving. No call, no prices. And, then the repair person has the stones to tell me that everyone overcharges!! Let’s start with not using Beacon!!!"

"Do not use this company. They will rip you off. The contract was for eight 300W LED 40 ft pole lights, but I caught them redhanded installing 240W. Who does that? Then, they broke my lock and broke into my sprinkler room which I saw on my video which they admitted. Then, Kolb sued me for not paying the bill which I disputed due to lost tools as result of the break-in. Who does that breaking into a customer's sprinkler room and not informing that they did. I had to catch them on my video. Not only that it took over one year to the work proposed work. TOTAL FRAUD. I will be going to court...."

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.
If your TV antenna is good quality and was installed by a professional, you can expect it to last between 10 and 20 years without needing repair or replacement. This can vary based on your geographic location, weather conditions, and antenna location.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
The cost to repair your TV antenna is around $200 for the average homeowner. However, charges could be as low as $60 or as high as $450. Factors such as multidirectional or unidirectional, indoor or outdoor, and amplified or non-amplified all play an essential role in determining the cost of your repair. For example, outdoor antennas cost more on average to repair than indoor ones, much like amplified antennas cost more to repair than unamplified ones.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Before you hire a licensed electrical contractor, you should learn the cost to run electric from the road to your house so you can budget for the project.
Electrical panel replacement costs $530 to $2,100, depending on the location, the type of hardware, and any required building materials.
