"I chose "handyman services" but that really understates what Chris and Joe did. They set up 2 temporary walls, then demo'd a load-bearing wall (which was plaster and lath so MUCH more labor-intensive than drywall would have been), then installed a large LVL beam. They also removed trim (as needed to see the old framing) and closed in a window. They were terrific workers and I'd have them back in a heartbeat. The owner of the company was also so easy to work with. HIGHLY recommended -- I will continue to use them!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Andre arrived a few minutes early. Which is great because I like people who are on time. He proceeded to carry the AC unit from my car located in the garage, to the bedroom where it was going to be installed in a window there. He immediately unpacked the contents of the box. Andre is very knowledgeable about this type of work. He had to adapt some pieces, as the unit was not compatible with the type of window I have. Andre did this with ease. His work ethic is excellent. In less than 2 hours he had the unit installed in the window. Andre was also very polite and personable. Thank you for referring him for this job. With Appreciation, Gilda Cannavino"

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

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.
