What changes the price
- How long the job actually takes — we quote the block before we start.
- Materials. We can pick up common supplies and add them at cost with the receipt.
- Wall and surface type — brick, tile, plaster, and older walls take longer.
- Access and parking, especially in condos and gated neighborhoods.
- Whether the job needs a licensed trade. We refer that work out instead of stretching it.
What is included
Labor, setup, cleanup, and a written price before the visit. There is no trip fee inside Lake Highlands. Payment is due when the job is done, by card, check, or cash.
Jobs that need a licensed electrician, plumber, or HVAC technician are not handyman work in Texas. We tell you before we start and help you route it to the right trade.
Questions
Straight answers.
What is the hourly rate?
The first hour is $95. After that we price in blocks: $340 for up to four hours, $640 for up to eight. You know the block before we start.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes — the Quick Fix block, $95. It covers up to one hour and one or two small jobs.
Is there a trip fee?
No trip fee inside Lake Highlands. Outside the neighborhood, call and we will tell you honestly whether the drive works.
Are materials included?
No. Materials are added at cost with the receipt. If you already have the bracket, shelf, or paint, we use yours.
Do you charge more for same-day work?
We do not advertise a same-day surcharge. Availability is the real constraint, so call or text to check the schedule.
Why not just hire a licensed contractor?
For small repairs, a handyman is usually faster and cheaper. For electrical, plumbing, HVAC, gas, structural, or permitted work, you should use the licensed trade.
