"Yacoub is super quick, friendly, and professional. I hired him to mount my TV. He even purchased the mount himself, giving me multiple options and prices. On top of TV mounting, he also does wire concealment so everything looks great and clean on my wall. I was so happy with his work, I hired him for additional shelf installment and furniture assembly jobs. And Iâ ll hire him again! Highly recommend him for all your home projects. "

"I welcomed Brett into my home for an assessment and visualization of my plan. I have an older home and want to incorporate modern touches that accentuate the home. The house is over 100 years old with a recent kitchen remodel. However, there was no over the stove hood vent. The house would smoke entirely everytime I cooked, especially with a cast iron. I have a brick chimney next to the stove that served as the original vent for the wood burning stove. When Brett came in, he had the perfect visualization of running spiral duct through the cabinet and out the sidewall. This saved me a lot of time and money; as I did not have to restore the chimney and less material was used for the project. The work came out beautiful, now my kitchen is functional and it has an industrial feel that doesnâ t detract from the Victorian architecture. I highly recommend his work. He went above and beyond and met all my expectations. "

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a handyman?

It costs an average of $60 to $65 per hour to hire a handyman. Handymen charge a flat rate for larger jobs, like installing a toilet or hanging a chandelier.

Here's a glance at some common jobs and prices:

  • Garbage disposal installation: $150
  • Ceiling fan hanging: $100
  • Hall light installation: $65

Do I need a handyman or a contractor?

A handyman is extremely versatile and can help with many types of jobs, but these are usually smaller in nature. They cannot complete certain types of work, like some plumbing and electrical jobs that require additional licensing. Some jobs also require a permit in addition to contractor licensing - the specifics of this can vary by cities and state.

When do I need to hire a contractor instead of a handyman?

Ask your handyman if he or she has the specific licenses and can pull any permits necessary to complete the job. Hire a separate contractor if not. A contractor, not a handyman, usually completes jobs that include:

  • Structural work.
  • Electrical work or repair.
  • Additions and remodeling.
  • Gas line repair or installation.
  • New plumbing or modifications.

How do I hire a handyman?

First, evaluate the work you need done. If a handyman can complete the project, begin your online research to find a pro near you. Get at least three bids and ask the perspective pros the following questions:

  • What is your hourly rate?
  • Do you have insurance?
  • How long will the project take?
  • Do you have experience working on a project like this?
  • Do you have references I can call?
