I provide quality service at a fair price and in a timely manner. I enjoy meeting new people and building long term relationships with my clients. Being able to do so many things makes every day a new adventure. I do plumbing, electrical, window and door installation, carpentry, painting, appliance repair, locksmithing and a whole slew of other things. I really like being to help people in their time of need like when an AC stops working in our texas heat or a hot water heater gives out on one to 2 or 3 days that it gets cold here. Also, I like to see happy faces when an upgrade is complete or just doing something new for a client that makes...

I am a general contractor with over a decade of experience working for Frans Dahmen, a legendary local builder who sadly passed away recently, and also with many of my own projects large (renovating whole homes) and small (door and window repairs, porches, etc). I’ve done everything from simple repairs to tear down renovations of whole historic homes, to replacement trellises, gates, and outdoor features for Hotel San Jose, to entirely new build ADU’s and homes. I’ve also rebuilt historic windows and doors and hand built replica wood windows and doors when they’re too far gone for repair. I’ve also done stone and brick masonry work, both simp

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.

Great customer service. A1 work. Alex is very knowledgeable with garage doors. He’s been doing it for 8+ years. Any issue you have with your garage door he will troubleshoot it and let you know what’s the next step. Not to mention he has the best prices in the whole Houston area. I definitely recommend using Door Guys Overhead for all your garage needs. Oh! Almost forgot to mention he also does HANDYMAN work!!!!
