Stacy B. says, "Thomas did an outstanding job assembling my exercise equipment. He arrived on time and came prepared with all the necessary tools. What impressed me most was his attention to detail - he carefully followed the instruction manual and double-checked all connections to ensure everything was secure. The assembly was completed efficiently, and he even helped position the equipment in the ideal spot. After finishing, he tested all moving parts and explained the basic maintenance requirements. He also cleaned up the workspace and removed all packaging materials. The equipment works perfectly, with no wobbling or loose parts.

Hello! Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is José. I am a carpenter with 20 years of experience. I work from framing to finishing. I love what I do. If I were a doctor, I would have to be a great surgeon because people's lives would be entrusted to my hands. And that’s exactly how I see carpentry—because people’s dreams, something they are building to live in, pass through my hands. That’s why I understand that I must do my work with perfection. But words alone are not enough. We can only truly show our work when it is finished. And it would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to demonstrate my professionalism. I’m

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.

We used them to do major renovations on our large, old Victorian and incredibly glad we did. Our project was a 203k home purchase, which requires a lot of quote approvals from our bank. Our initial renovations included: FHA upgrades, lolly column replacement, new roof, paint of trim, foundation repairs and entire second floor (down to studs). Second floor needed new electrical, bathroom remodel and insulation (to name a few). As anyone who's done these massive projects on older homes knows, we encountered some unexpected problems. Any changes we made that impacted costs were explained, in writing, shown to and approved by us and bank before they moved forward. The project included much more than listed here, and all of it was beyond our expectations. We were so impressed with how the work was done, we kept them as "our repair guru". We were incredibly lucky to have found Bill from Advanced Mod. I don't know any other contractors who would have been as flexible and professional as they were with us as well as our bank!
