What changes the price

  • Hourly rate or minimum visit charge
  • Number of jobs on your list
  • Materials and parts
  • Specialty tools or a second person for heavy items

How to pay less

  • Make a list and book one visit. Bundling small jobs avoids paying a minimum charge several times.
  • Buy specific fixtures yourself if you have a strong preference, and ask about material markup.
  • Send photos ahead of time so the handyman brings the right parts on the first trip.
  • Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
