Annette R. says, "About the work: Extremely knowledgeable. Beautiful work. Clean and astonishingly fast. He replaced 2 water valves, fixed a third, dismounted a door, removed a bathroom vanity, sink and all, installed a new vanity, installed the fixtures, replaced the plumbing, and caulked the bathtub all in under 4 hours. Got to my house at 8:15 was out the door by 12:05. Left the house clean too! 100% would recommend for fast reliable and honest work. About the people: Pablo came with his wife. Both quiet and kind. I was honestly pleased and grateful when they took off their shoes at the door having taken notice we keep an Asian shoe free home. Pablo was very patient with me , communicated well and often. He texted me from the second he got a notification about my interest and the need for a plumber. And throughout the day. It is really the only reason that I decided to go with him amongst other people that had reached out. Points of improvement if any are to be taken; Perhaps don’t be so pushy about your brother’s business. While one can appreciate the camaraderie and respect he has for his brother and the craftsmanship of his brother’s work. It was a little much. I had a leak underneath my bathroom sink which needed to be repaired, and I had interest in changing the trim of my showerhead handle and bath spout. While, I have a really nice home I’m not made of money and I work very hard for it. So I don’t have $10,000 to drop on a whim for a full bathroom remodel. Doing simple things like updating the trimming, which is stained from hard water and spending what I did for four hours of work close to$800 on repairs is all that I was currently willing to do. He criticized the state of my bathroom tiling and recommended that I have a full bathroom remodel. Repeatedly reinforcing the notion that I should replace the full fixture to the shower which would mean him having to cut through the tile which he would not be able to repair or replace because it’s not his specialty, thus in comes the brothers business, tile work. Even after telling him I was not interested in doing tile work he then repeated that if he changed the trimming, he would need to update the valve for the shower which would include having to cut away the tile at which point I might as well just keep going and replace it all. The point wasn’t cutting across. I finally had to blatantly say I will not be hiring you to do a full bathroom remodel and I do not want you cutting into tile. Overall I was extremely happy with the work delivered, the cost is fitting to the craftsmanship, detail and dedication to the work. I would hire again for other work just minding the conversations better maybe in a few years I’ll gut the bathroom. Not now. I have attached pictures of my bathroom so you guys can judge for yourself just how much “work it needs” Also, the plumbing work that he did, the grout work, and the picture of the fixture that I wanted replace."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does a handyman charge?

Minimum rates for handyman jobs typically range from $60-$100. Pricing will depend on skill and experience required for the job, as well as regional labor rates. Here are a few examples of average handyman flat rates:

  • Attic ladder replacement: $150.
  • Toilet replacement: $75.
  • Ceiling fan and light fixtures: $75.
  • Faucet replacement: $125.
  • Garbage disposal: $75.

A handyman performs general maintenance and repairs for residential and commercial properties. A handyman may charge a flat fee for standard services that take a predictable amount of time, such as installing a new appliance, as well as an hourly rate for larger projects such as digging out and replacing a rotted fence post. A cost-saving strategy when hiring a handyman is to bundle all the tasks you want them to do into one visit to make the most of any minimum service fees.

What do handymen charge per hour?

On average, you can expect to pay a handy person around $55 per hour. However, this cost can range between $35 and $80 per hour, depending on a number of factors. For instance, a handyman may charge a minimum fee of $50-$100 for small jobs that won’t take much of their time. The complexity of the job will affect the price as well. Your final price will also depend upon where you live, as certain regions have higher labor rates than others.

What does a handyman do?

A handyman is a skilled laborer who provides basic home repairs. Anyone can call themselves a handyman, although most who do so are skilled with repairs and home projects. Reading reviews is a good way to determine their fitness for your job. The tasks a handyman can perform include assembling furniture, painting interiors and exteriors, repairing fences, repairing broken doors or replacing trim, hanging lights, hooking up appliances, and much more. Handymen may have flat fees for certain services, or charge an hourly rate. Handyman rates are often lower than those of a contractor, as they don’t have the same specialization. Some states have no limit on the work a handyman can perform, while others do. For example, California’s Building and Professions Code section 7048 (small operations) permits handymen to provide work similar to that of a contractor (floor installation, painting, etc.) provided the total cost of labor and materials does not exceed $500. A handyman is a great resource for minor home repairs at a lower cost than a licensed contractor, but for more complex projects, it pays to hire a specialized contractor. Fore more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

Is it worth it to hire a handyman?

It’s worth it to hire a handyman in many cases. For example, you should hire a handyman when the project’s size and scope make it challenging to complete by yourself. These projects may include major home remodels or additions, foundation work or electrical/plumbing/HVAC-related tasks. However, make sure the handyman has the proper credentials or license to perform the necessary work.

You might also want to hire a handyman if a contractor’s price is too high. Handymen often charge less than general contractors, but contractors typically have the required license to perform certain tasks.

And, lastly, think about the complexity of the job and the cost of future repairs. It’s worth it to hire a handyman when the project is complex. Doing something incorrectly can wind up costing more than hiring the pro in the first place.

Can a handyman do plumbing?

In some states, a handyman can provide plumbing services, but it may be in your best interest to call a plumber, particularly for issues more major than unclogging a drain or attaching a new sink. Hiring a plumber is important because mishandling your water and gas lines has the potential to do great damage to your home, your family’s health, or even the safety of your neighborhood. A handyman is not legally required to have any training or licensing in plumbing matters, while a licensed plumber has undergone years of education and on-the-job training. In some cases, homeowners insurance won’t cover damage caused by plumbing repair done by an unlicensed handyman.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, most plumbers learn their trade through a four- or five-year apprenticeship with 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job training. They also receive classroom education including “safety, local plumbing codes and regulations, and blueprint reading. They also study mathematics, applied physics, and chemistry. After completing an apprenticeship program, plumbers … are considered to be journey workers, qualifying them to perform duties on their own,” according to the DOL. Licensed plumbers should do continuing education to keep abreast of safety and technology changes. Poor plumbing can lead to sewage backups, a flooded home or even natural gas leaks, so it’s best to leave it in the hands of a specialized professional.
