  • Carpentry: Trim, shelving, deck board replacement, fence repairs.
  • Small painting: Single rooms, touch-ups.

  • Minimum charge: Usually 2 to 4 hours, $150 to $400.
  • Drywall patch: $150 to $350.

How to Vet a Handyman

Check your state's dollar threshold for unlicensed work. Confirm general liability insurance. Ask for photos of similar completed work. Get a written scope even for small jobs. Batch tasks into one visit to maximize the minimum charge.
