Matt T. says, "We originally brought Chris with Fix to Finish Co. in for electrical work—he installed 2 new breakers in the panel, ran new circuits, and wired up two light switches. Everything was done cleanly, safely, and you could tell right away he knows his stuff! After seeing his work, we had him take on a bunch of other projects around the house, and that’s where he really stood out. It’s rare to find someone who can confidently handle multiple trades at a high level. He installed sliding closet doors in three bedrooms, put in our kitchen cabinets, mounted an over-the-range microwave, and installed a dishwasher without any issues. On top of that, he handled our plumbing projects by installing a new water main shut-off valve and new toilets in each of the bathrooms. He even took care of the soffit and fascia repairs. Everything turned out great! Thank you Chris for all of your hard work and great attitude!" Read more

Your Handyman questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a handyman service charge?

Handyman hourly rates are $50 to $80 on average, plus the cost of materials. Most handyman work costs $150 to $600, depending on the job's size and if the handyman is self-employed or corporate. Handymen who purchase materials may have a 20% to 50% markup or a trip charge of $30 to $80.

What can a handyman legally do?

A handyman can legally do small jobs and repairs like painting a room, hanging a TV, unclogging a drain, patching a wall, replacing a ceiling fan, fixing a fence or gate, cleaning gutters, or replacing a toilet. Some states have limits on the amount handymen can legally charge before needing a license.

Can a handyman do plumbing or electrical work?

Only licensed handymen can do plumbing or electrical work. Although, a handyman may legally do small electrical and plumbing jobs in some states, like replacing a toilet. For larger projects, it's best to hire electricians or plumbers in your area.

How to find a local handyman in your area?

Start by searching our list of handyman services near you. After finding and contacting potential candidates:

  • Get at least three quotes to compare.
  • Read reviews and check out their previous work on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Select handyman contractors that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
  • Discuss rates and payment methods upfront.
  • Avoid selecting the lowest quote as quality may suffer.
  • Ask for at least a 1-year labor warranty.
  • Get a full breakdown of all labor and material costs involved.
  • Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
  • Discuss job timelines, work hours, and expectations for larger projects.
  • Avoid making payments upfront. Instead, pay when the work is completed.

How do I hire a nearby handyman?

When looking to hire a local handyman, ask the following questions:

  • What type of work can you do?
  • What is your hourly rate?
  • Do you have a trip charge for getting materials?
  • How much do you mark up materials?
  • Can you provide a written estimate upfront?
  • Do you have local references or a portfolio of your work?
  • Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
  • What hours do you work?
  • How long will the job take?
  • How do you handle additional work that arises?
  • Do you provide a guarantee?
  • How do you handle damages that happen on the job?
  • Do you work alone, or will you use subcontractors?
  • What’s your payment schedule?

After asking questions and comparing estimates, hire the best handyman in your area.

Does a handyman need a license?

Many states have a “Handyman Exemption” that only requires a license for jobs over $500 to $10,000 or more, varying by state. In other states, a license is mandatory for all work. Many states also require worker’s compensation and liability insurance to protect against damage or accidents.

Do you tip a handyman?

Handymen don't expect a tip. If the handyman goes above and beyond or spends more time than expected, a tip is appreciated. Most homeowners tip a handyman $10 to $20 or between 10% and 15% of the total job.

Reviews for Columbus handyman services

Recent success stories from people in the Columbus area.
Tracy A.
Fix to Finish Co. did a great job at my home! He removed and installed several outlets throughout the house, installed a new faucet, and took care of some drywall repairs. Everything was done neatly and professionally, and he made sure it was all working before he left. Chris was easy to work with, explained things clearly, and the quality of his work was excellent. I’d definitely use Fix to Finish Co. again and would recommend him to anyone needing home repairs.
