We charge a fairly “reasonable” retainer fee which covers the first hour of work. This ensures that even small jobs like hanging a TV or replacing a garbage disposal are worth the trip for our professional, insured technicians.
2. Why the Price Difference? Skills, Insurance, and the California Law
When evaluating a
handyman cost per hour CA, ask these critical questions. Low prices often mean high risk for you.
- Insurance Matters: We carry liability insurance to protect your property and worker's compensation insurance to protect our employees. If a "cheap" handyman gets hurt on your property without insurance, you could be held liable.
- The California $500 Rule: In California, an unlicensed person cannot legally contract for work that costs more than $500 for labor and materials. If your job (like a deck repair or large drywall fix) is over this limit, you must hire a licensed contractor to protect yourself legally. We are a
Legally Operating Handyman and will always advise you when a job requires a different license.
- Expertise: A professional will complete the work faster, cleaner, and to a higher standard, saving you time and money in the long run.
3. Maximizing Value: The Handyman Pricing Guide Tip
To get the best value from your handyman: Bundle your tasks!
Use our minimum charge to your advantage. Instead of calling for one small job, save up your to-do list: hang that shelf, replace that leaky faucet, and install the new doorbell camera all in one visit. This is the most cost-effective way to utilize our service.
