How Much Does a Handyman Cost?

Hourly rates, minimums, and how to save on small jobs.

Typical rates

Most handymen charge $60–$110/hour, often with a small minimum or a half-day/full-day rate for bigger lists.

Bundle your list

The cheapest way to book is to combine several small jobs into one visit rather than paying a minimum each time.

Licensed vs. not

Small repairs usually don't need a license; bigger electrical/plumbing work may require a licensed trade — a pro will tell you.
