Most handymen charge between $50 and $80 dollars per hour depending on experience, location, and the project needed completed. Independent handymen are likely to charge less than those working for established companies.

Many of the common projects homeowners need assistance with are drywall repairs and installations, home remodeling and renovations, basic plumbing repairs, flooring, painting, furniture assembly, and home security installations.

A handyman's ability to understand your specific needs and your vision for a project, choose the most efficient and affordable approaches for the customer, and complete projects in the set windows of time are qualities of a good handyman. Although they are well-versed, they should know their limitations in knowledge and experience and know when a project is outside of their wheel house to ensure the customer gets the quality of work they are looking for.

Handymen don't need formal training to offer their services to customer but there are training courses available to those looking to receive qualifications.

Handymen can do many types of work without a license, although not all work that a homeowner or business may need. This may vary by state but handymen don't need a license in the state of Florida. For structural repairs, however, handymen require contractor licenses and could face penalties for unlicensed work in these areas.
