Question 2

How much does a typical job cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the complexity and scope of the project. We provide firm-fixed quotes before starting a job, ensuring you won’t face surprise costs.

Free Virtual Estimates Available

I offer free online/virtual estimates for all services.
The more details you provide (especially clear photos of the work needed), the more accurate and interactive I can make your quote. Many jobs can be fully quoted virtually, while others may require a quick on-site visit for complete accuracy.
Submit your request through the form above, and I’ll get back to you with pricing and options usually within 24 hours.

Question 3

Are estimates free?

Accepted Answer

I offer free virtual estimates for most jobs. Simply send details and photos, and I’ll provide pricing quickly.

For jobs that need an in-person visit, there is a $125 on-site estimate fee. This amount will be deducted from your total if you approve the quote and proceed with the work.

Question 4

How soon can you start the job?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and complexity of your project.

For quick repairs (under a few hours), I can often start within 1–3 days — sometimes even the same week.
For medium or larger projects (half day to multiple days), I recommend scheduling 1–3 weeks in advance so I can give it the proper time and attention it deserves.

I prioritize quality and communication over rushing. Once I review your request, I’ll give you a clear timeline and do my best to work with your schedule.

Feel free to mention your preferred dates in the request form — I’m usually pretty flexible!

Question 9

How long does a typical job take?

The time it takes depends on the size and complexity of the project.

We'll give you an estimated timeframe before starting the job.

Question 13

Do you charge for travel time?

Accepted Answer

Yes — travel time is included in nearly all of our quotes.

As a full-time handyman, I build in a fair travel allowance so we can show up on time and ready to work. This amount is always listed clearly in your estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

Most customers in the local area find it very reasonable.
