Frequently asked
How does handyman pricing work?
Every job on this page shows a good / typical / max range from our real price book. Final price is confirmed before any work starts. If a pro opens it up and finds something the photos didn’t show, you hear the new number before the work starts. Never after.
What’s the $85 trip fee?
If you supply the part yourself, or we can’t get access to the work area, an $85 trip/wrong-part/blocked-access fee applies — we’ll tell you upfront whenever that’s a real possibility.
Do you charge more for emergencies or after-hours calls?
Yes. After-hours or weekend visits add 25%, same-day service adds 40%, and true emergencies add 65% — the surcharge applies to the higher end of the range you’re quoted, disclosed before the visit, never added afterward.
What if my handyman job isn’t listed above?
Some jobs need a look or a couple of photos before we can price them — text us what’s going on and we’ll get you a number.
