What drives the price on handyman work
- A minimum callout, since travel often exceeds the work itself
- Labor at an hourly or half-day rate
- Materials, frequently bought per job rather than held in stock
- Trips to the supplier, which are real cost and easy to leave unbilled
Jobs handymen price most often
- Hang doors or fit locks
- Assemble and mount furniture
- Patch and repaint drywall
