Frequently asked questions
Do handymen charge by the hour or per job?
Most charge by the hour ($50-150) plus materials, but many offer flat rates for common tasks like TV mounting or faucet repair.
Should I supply my own materials?
It can save money if you know what's needed. However, handymen get trade discounts and may include warranty on their parts.
How do I find a reliable handyman?
