What does handyman usually cost?

Door closer or hinge adjustment: $125–$300. Drywall patch under 2 square feet: $150–$400. TV or shelf mount on a sound wall: $150–$350. Planning estimate. Not a Fixt quote. On Fixt you pay the bid you accept. There is no homeowner fee. On-site jobs use New York ZIP codes 100–149.

What should I ask a handyman pro?

Which items are in the visit, and which are extra? Do you paint the patch, and do you have the color? Are you opening a wall, or only surface work? What is the hourly rate after the first hour? Will you haul away the old hardware?

What should not be posted as a handyman job?

Gas piping, electrical panels, structural walls, and roof replacement belong in the matching trade. A handyman post should list the small tasks and photos so the bid matches the visit.

Handyman in New York City

A handyman visit fits a short list of small repairs: doors, drywall patches, caulk, and fixture swaps. It is the wrong call for a panel, a gas line, or a structural wall.

Typical issues

A door that will not latch is often the closer, the hinge, or the strike, not a new door.
A drywall hole under a couple of square feet is a patch and paint touch, if you have the color.
A loose towel bar, toilet paper holder, or curtain rod is a short visit if the wall is sound.
TV mounts need a stud or rated anchors. Say what the wall is made of.
A punch list of five small items is usually one visit. Four separate calls cost more.
