Honey-Do Punch List Completion

Honey-do list completion is a flat-block handyman visit from $300 that works your accumulated household list end to end in one trip, with one quote covering the whole list rather than per-item charges. The list on the fridge. The list taped to the bathroom mirror. The list in the Notes app that has been added to one item at a time for the past year. We sequence the items so the dry-time work happens early and the finish work happens late, and the list comes off the fridge by the end of the day.

Process

How Honey-Do List Completion Works

Six sequential steps from the whole-list booking call to the end-of-visit walk-through — how the accumulated list comes off the fridge in one visit.

Pricing

Honey-Do List Completion Pricing

Final pricing depends on the length of the list, the mix of repair classes, and whether any items push into specialty hardware. The booking call walks through each item and lands on the right block. If your honey-do is actually half-day or full-day scope, we will tell you on the call. Request a free estimate.

The list comes off the fridge. Send everything — we will quote the whole thing.

Why Homeowners Book a Handis Honey-Do

Honey-do lists go wrong one way — half the list got told and half did not because the homeowner forgot to mention items they had been carrying for months. The truck shows up sized for the spoken list, then six surprise items come out at the door. We ask on the booking call for everything — the items currently on the list, the items in the Notes app, the items the spouse keeps mentioning, the items you forgot to write down. The visit gets sized to the actual scope and the truck gets loaded for it. One quote, no surprise upcharges.

Estimate

Send the whole list — every item you can think of. Rooms, counts, wall types if you know them, any specialty items (above-fireplace mount, plaster walls, smart locks). The longer the list on the booking call, the better the quote and the smoother the visit.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about honey-do list completion — what counts, how long it takes, and how the flat-block pricing works.

How much does honey-do list completion cost?
Short lists (four-to-six small items, about 90 minutes of active work) start at $300. Typical lists (seven-to-ten items, three hours) run $500. Long lists (ten-to-fifteen items, four-to-five hours) run $700. Very long lists (fifteen-plus items, six-plus hours) run $900 — at that point a full-day at $800 is often cheaper, and we will tell you on the booking call. Specialty items on an otherwise standard honey-do (one plaster-wall item or one masonry mount) add $90; multiple specialty items push the visit to half-day or full-day pricing. Customer-supplied decorative items do not change the rate.
What is the difference between honey-do and the half-day or hourly block?
Honey-do is a flat-rate block sized to the whole list — you pay one number for the whole visit regardless of how the time breaks down. Hourly is sold by the hour with a one-hour minimum and 30-minute increments after, sized for three or four small items. Half-day is a four-hour block sized for six-to-ten items with sequenced dry time. The honey-do rate sits between them and is the right booking when your list is mixed and accumulated but not big enough to need the half-day structure.
What counts as a honey-do item?
Anything on the list. A TV mount that has been waiting since the housewarming, a closet door that drags, cabinet pulls in the bathroom, a leaking caulk seam, a smoke detector chirping at 3 a.m., a loose doorknob, a wobbly toilet seat, a picture that needs hanging, a smoke detector swap, a kitchen faucet handle that broke off. The mix is the whole point — different categories, different tools, one tech that carries everything.
What if my list has one item that needs specialty hardware?
One specialty item on an otherwise standard honey-do list adds $90 to cover the truck loadout. Plaster-wall heavy mirror, single above-fireplace mount, one smart-lock door — any single item that needs specific specialty hardware loaded. The booking call identifies it and the surcharge gets included in the upfront quote. If you have two or more specialty items, the visit usually pushes to half-day or full-day pricing.
Can I add items to the list once you arrive?
Yes, within the block scope. If you remember three more small items after the tech arrives and they fit in the time budget for your block, we add them and close them with the rest. If the new items push the visit past the block size, we tell you the upgrade cost (to a longer honey-do block, half-day, or full-day) before continuing. Never a surprise on the invoice.
How long does a honey-do visit take?
Depends on the block. A short list (four-to-six items) runs about 90 minutes of active work plus 15 minutes setup and 15 minutes cleanup — call it two hours on site. A typical list (seven-to-ten items) runs three hours active, about three and a half on site. A long list (ten-to-fifteen items) runs four to five hours active, five and a half on site. A very long list (fifteen-plus items) is at the edge of full-day territory and usually runs six to seven hours on site.
Will you tell me on the call if my list is actually a half-day or full-day?
Yes. If your honey-do list runs longer than five hours of active work, includes multiple specialty items, or has whole-home scope (childproofing across every room, pre-listing prep across a three-bedroom house, end-of-renovation finish), we will tell you on the booking call. The [half-day](/services/handyman-and-home-repairs/general-handyman-services/half-day-handyman) block at $450 and the [full-day](/services/handyman-and-home-repairs/general-handyman-services/full-day-handyman) block at $800 each cover bigger scope at a lower per-hour rate. Picking the right block is part of the quote.
Do you do honey-do lists that include painting or floor refinishing?
Touch-up paint at drywall patches, yes — we feather the patch and color-match if you have leftover paint. Full-wall or full-room painting, no — that routes to a painting contractor. Hardwood floor refinishing also routes to a flooring specialist. The honey-do block covers handyman-class items; we will be honest on the booking call about what fits the trade and what does not, and route the rest to the right specialist.
What if an item on the list routes to a licensed contractor?
We tell you on the booking call. Gas appliances, hardwired electrical, new 240V circuits, anything inside a wall on a supply or drain line, anything requiring a permit — those route to a licensed Washington L&I contractor. The rest of the honey-do list still gets booked as a handyman visit. After the licensed trade does their rough-in, we come back for the handyman finish work (the trim, the patches, the caulk, the cabinet hardware around the new appliance) at a follow-up rate quoted on the call.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every item on the honey-do list carries the 30-day workmanship guarantee. If a mount shifts, a patch cracks, a caulk seam pulls, an anchor pulls out, or a door we adjusted starts dragging again within 30 days because of our installation, we come back and fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers our work — it does not cover damage from overloading a shelf past its rated weight, settlement in an old foundation, or wall failure unrelated to our hardware.
How far ahead do I need to book a honey-do?
Most honey-do lists schedule three to seven business days out. Short lists sometimes fit in three days; longer lists with specialty hardware may run a week to ten days because the truck loadout takes more planning. Spring and early summer are our busiest seasons. If you have a deadline (in-laws visiting, a baby due, a listing date), tell us on the booking call and we will work to find the slot that lands before that date.
