PRICING QUESTIONS

STRAIGHT ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK.

We publish prices only where the service and standard scope are clear enough for the number to be useful.

START WITH YOUR HOME →

DO THE LISTED PRICES INCLUDE THE PRODUCT?

The listed ceiling-fan, kitchen-faucet, and garbage-disposal prices are labor prices for the stated standard scope. For faucets and disposals, you can supply the product. If there is no preference, we can supply a standard Home Depot faucet or disposal at cost plus 20%.

WHY WOULD THE PRICE CHANGE?

Only when visible conditions or requested work are outside the stated standard scope—for example, an improper ceiling-fan box, accessible shutoff valves that need replacement, a seized faucet, or disposal plumbing that needs exposed rework. We explain the condition before moving forward or changing pricing.

CAN YOU CONFIRM A PRICE FROM PHOTOS?

Photos, a brief description, your ZIP code, and the product model or link when available give us the best starting point. They help us confirm whether the listed typical cost applies and whether the work fits our service.

DO YOU PUBLISH AN HOURLY HANDYMAN RATE?

No. We publish pricing only where the service and standard scope are clear enough for the number to be useful. Other planned home tasks are reviewed based on the actual scope and visible conditions.

IS A HANDYMAN OKAY FOR A LEAKING FIXTURE?

A standard, visible fixture replacement can be a good handyman fit. A hidden leak, plumbing behind a wall, invasive plumbing, or a larger plumbing repair is better handled by a licensed plumber. Photos help identify the right next step.

READY FOR A CLEAR NEXT STEP?

READY TO GET THE WORK OFF YOUR LIST?

Send a few photos, your ZIP code, and a short description of the work you need done. We will help confirm whether the service is a fit and whether a published typical cost applies.

Start with what you know. We can ask for anything else needed to understand the work.

✓ 1-YEAR WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEE
