If you’re unsure if your project would be a better fit for a contractor or a handyman, just reach out and they’ll be happy to guide you in the right direction.

Drywall Installation & Repair Pricing

By far, one of the most common services that customers reach out for is drywall repair or installation. Sometimes it’s because a homeowner is just making a small change to an accent wall or there was a one-off accident. Or, in Florida specifically, it can be because they had some storm damage. No matter the reason, this is a job that any professional handyman service is well equipped to take on for you.

The average handyman cost for a drywall repair varies widely depending on the location within your home, the size of the project, and the drywall finish you’d like. But on average you can expect a typical repair with a textured finish and painted to match the existing area to cost between $400-$500. Keep in mind, that because there are so many differing factors that come with a drywall repair, you won’t be able to get an exact estimate for your project until a handyman service is able to see your space.

Interior & Exterior Home Painting Pricing

Whether you decide to take this on yourself or hire it out is completely your decision. But, in our experience, painting is one project that the majority of homeowners would prefer not to do themselves. It can be a bit time consuming and to do it correctly, it requires a lot of prep work. All things that a professional handyman service can complete quickly and efficiently due to years of experience.

The average handyman cost for interior and exterior home painting differs based on a variety of factors. For exterior painting, the height of your home will be a factor, as well as the square footage of your home. In St. Petersburg, FL. the majority of the homes are single story and approximately 1500 sq ft. For this home, you can expect to pay between $3500-$4500, which would include all prep work to assure that paint did not get on unwanted areas. As well as all materials and two coats of paint.

For interior painting, you can expect to pay between $400-$500 per room. This will differ based on room size and also if you’d like to include painting of trim and ceilings or not.

Flooring Installation & Repair Pricing

The majority of homeowners will replace some flooring in their home at least once in the time they live there. Currently, most of the flooring jobs we are booking are for installing either tile or LVP flooring. Each type of flooring requires a different skillset and different materials, making the installation cost vary widely.

Tile Flooring Installation Cost

Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation Cost

Tile flooring is the most expensive when it comes to installation costs as it requires a lot more skill and time to complete than other types of flooring. The cost of installation also varies based on the style of tile you choose as well as the pattern you’d like it laid in. For example, a herringbone pattern is more expensive to get installed than a traditional brickwork pattern. But you can expect to pay between $1100-$1800 to get tile flooring installed in a powder room by a professional handyman service.

In recent years, LVP has become the most popular type of flooring to get installed in homes due to price, durability, and the wide range of styles available. In St. Petersburg, FL. specifically, many homeowners choose it due to it’s waterproof qualities. However, if flooding does occur in your home, it’s important to know that you’ll still need to remove your LVP to prevent mold growth underneath.

To get LVP flooring installed in your home, you can expect to pay a handyman anywhere between $2-$4 per square foot. This pricing varies based on the style of LVP flooring you choose and the layout of your home.

Light Fixture Installation Pricing

Getting new light fixtures installed is one of the most popular projects homeowners complete to make the style of their home fit their preferences. The cost of hiring a handyman for light fixture installation varies widely based on the type of lighting that you would like to get installed as well as the height of the lighting. But, this is something that is generally very affordable to hire a handyman service to complete as they’re incredibly experienced in this type of project and can get it completed rather quickly.

On average you can expect to spend between $100-$200 per light fixture installation.

Door & Window Repair Pricing

Door and window repairs and replacements are very common in a tropical environment like St. Pete. It’s really important to stay up-to-date on these repairs to protect your home during hurricane season. Not doing so can lead to even more expensive repairs in the future.

Oftentimes homeowners will have a leak and are unsure of what needs to be done in order to fix the issue. Sometimes the solution is as simple as repairing the door jam and other times it’s replacing the entire door. Any professional handyman service will be able to assess your specific situation and determine the best course of action.

The cost of door and window repairs and replacements differs widely based on the type of door/window, size, and location. On average you can expect to spend between $800 and $1500 for a door or window replacement (not including the cost of the door/window you choose). Trim and door jam repairs are a lot more affordable, typically ranging from $200-$400.

Fence Installation & Repair Pricing

Fencing is something that often takes a big hit during our hurricane season here in Florida. So this is something we tackle often. Most homeowners either have a white vinyl fence or a wooden fence. These two styles of fencing do not differ very much in terms of pricing or skillset for installation. So the pricing is very similar for installation and repairs.

On average, you can expect to spend between $250-$350 per 8′ panel of fencing to get replaced. However, like everything on this list, this pricing does vary based on your specific situation.

Small Miscellaneous Home Repairs

Many homeowners hire a handyman service to come to their home and complete multiple miscellaneous small repairs in one day. Just little things that they’ve compiled a list of over time and want to get fixed on the same day. While you don’t have to wait until you have a long list of these types of repairs, most handyman services do have a minimum charge for service calls, so for small repairs, it can often make more sense financially to have multiple completed on one day. Our minimum service call price is $200.
