Handyman & Home Repairs

The short list that never gets shorter — a TV still on the stand, a closet door that drags, a hole behind the kitchen trash can, a dishwasher leaning against the garage wall in the box it came in, a clogged gutter overflowing onto the foundation bed. Handyman and home repairs is the trade for the work that is too small for a specialty contractor and too varied for any single tool. Handis sends one vetted, insured handyman who carries the right hardware for eleven different repair classes (interior plus exterior) and works through the whole list in one visit — from $65 for a single screen patch to $1,800 for a full punch-list day.

Handyman & Home Repairs Pricing

Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and how many tasks fit into a single visit. Each sub-category page lists detailed pricing for that family of work. Multi-task visits are cheaper per task than booking each item separately. Request a free estimate for an accurate quote.

Why Homeowners Book Handis for Home Repairs

Most handyman calls fail the same way — the technician arrives with a drill, a tape measure, and good intentions, then realizes the doorknob hole needs a corner-bead patch instead of a flat patch, the cabinet pulls are 96 mm on center instead of 3 inches, the dishwasher drain hose is short by four inches, and there is no closet door track in the truck. After a few thousand mixed-trade visits across Seattle drywall, plaster, brick, tile, and concrete, every one of those gaps has a fix in the truck. We carry ten repair classes of hardware, not one — and we ask you the right questions on the booking call so the truck shows up loaded for the actual list.

Estimate

List the tasks, the rooms, and any specifics you know — wall types, door types, appliance models, hardware on hand — and we will send back a clear estimate for the full visit.

What Our Customers Say

Recent handyman and home-repair reviews from verified customers.

Move-in punch list. A TV mount, three doors that would not close, two cabinet pull rows, a kitchen backsplash recaulk, and a half-dozen drywall patches behind every door. The crew worked the list in order — patches first so the mud could dry, doors next, then the cabinet pulls, mount and caulk at the end. House felt finished by dinner. One visit, one trip charge.

Derek and Laura N., Move-In Punch List

1924 bungalow, every wall plaster over lath. The drywall guys we tried before could not anchor anything heavier than a picture frame. Handis tech showed up with longer-shank toggle bolts specifically rated for plaster, hung four heavy mirrors, mounted a 65-inch TV, and re-caulked the original tile around the tub. Nothing has moved in six months.

Daniel R., Plaster Walls + Mixed Repairs

Baby on the way, six weeks out. Whole-home childproofing in one visit — anti-tip on three dressers and the entryway bookcase, stair gates at the top and bottom, outlet covers in every room, cabinet locks under both sinks, magnetic locks on the oven and the laundry detergent shelf. Even pointed out the bookshelf in the office that the previous owner had skipped.

Samantha W., Whole-Home Childproofing

New dishwasher, a new over-the-range microwave, and a new washer and dryer set on the same day. Tech checked the supply lines and the dryer vent before he started, swapped the old dishwasher mounting clips for the new ones, vented the microwave through the existing exhaust, and hooked up both washer and dryer. He told me on the call that the gas range install needed a licensed contractor and gave me the name of one — appreciated the upfront honesty.

Andre W., Appliance Installation

Half-day handyman block. A 75-inch TV above the fireplace, two IKEA PAX wardrobes, a Peloton in the bonus room, fresh caulking around the master tub, and a sticky closet door I had given up on. Showed up at 8, finished at 1. The PAX alone usually eats half a weekend — he did it in 90 minutes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about handyman and home-repair services — pricing, scope, scheduling, what we handle, and what routes to a licensed contractor.

How much do handyman and home-repair services cost?
A window-screen mesh patch starts at $65. Hardware and accessory swaps start at $100 per piece. Gutter minor repair and fence gate hardware start at $109. Mounting and hanging, furniture assembly, weatherization, and childproofing all start at $120. Pressure washing starts at $129 for a patio or deck. Small drywall patches and door repairs start at $150. General handyman blocks start at $160 for the one-hour minimum. Garage storage starts at $169. Caulking and sealing starts at $180. Plug-in appliance installation starts at $200. Full-day blocks with two technicians and whole-garage resets run up to $1,800. You get a clear estimate before any work begins, and multi-task visits are cheaper per task than booking each item separately.
Can I schedule multiple tasks across different categories in one visit?
Yes — and this is the cheapest way to run the work. A typical visit closes four to seven items across three or four categories in three hours. A TV mount, a cabinet pull row, two drywall patches, a caulking redo, and an anti-tip anchor is one visit, one trip charge, one cleanup. List everything when you book, including approximate counts and rooms, and the truck shows up loaded for the full list.
What is the difference between a handyman and a licensed contractor?
A handyman handles repairs, maintenance, and small installations that do not require permits, inspections, or a state license — mounting, patching, caulking, hardware, plug-in appliances, and adjustments. A licensed contractor is required for any structural work, gas appliances, hardwired electrical, new 240V circuits, anything inside a supply or drain line in the wall, or any project requiring a permit. We will tell you on the booking call when a request crosses that line and route the gas, electrical, or plumbing portion to a licensed Washington L&I contractor — then come back for the finish work after their rough-in.
What work does Handis NOT do?
We do not run new gas lines, do not install gas ranges or gas dryers, do not hardwire ovens or cooktops, do not add new 240V circuits, do not open walls to reroute plumbing supply or drain lines, do not move load-bearing framing, and do not pull permits. We also do not do whole-room painting, hardwood floor refinishing, roof replacement, or HVAC work — those route to specialty contractors. We will be honest on the booking call about what fits the trade and what does not.
How quickly can I get someone out?
Most handyman jobs schedule within three to five business days. Same-week is normal in fall and winter; spring and early summer are the busiest seasons and can run a week to ten days. For a true emergency — a door that will not lock, a leaking dishwasher, a sagging shelf about to fall — we will work to get someone out the next day where the schedule allows.
Do I need to provide hardware, paint, or materials?
We bring all wall-side hardware (anchors, fasteners, masonry sleeves, mounting clips), all consumables (caulk, screws, weatherstripping, drywall mud, primer), and a TV mount if you do not have one. For decorative items you have already chosen — cabinet pulls, towel bars, house numbers, smart locks, knobs in a specific finish, paint in a specific color — you supply the items and we bring everything wall-side. We will tell you on the booking call exactly what to have on hand.
What if you find a bigger problem mid-job?
We stop and tell you before we touch it. Rot behind a piece of trim, a stripped doorknob hole that needs a metal repair plate, a dishwasher drain that needs a high-loop bracket the previous installer skipped, a stud spacing that forces a different anchor — you get the updated estimate before any extra work happens. Nothing extra goes on the invoice without your say-so. If the bigger problem crosses into licensed-contractor territory, we will tell you that too and route the right portion to the right trade.
Are anti-tip anchors and grab bars really necessary?
Yes. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission tracks roughly one furniture or TV tip-over in an emergency room every 53 minutes — most involve dressers, bookshelves, or TVs on stands that were never anchored, and the plastic strap kits that ship in furniture boxes are specifically warned against. Grab bars rated for ADA loads (250 lb minimum) must back into a stud or a rated solid-mount anchor — over-the-counter suction-cup bars fail the rating and fail the wall. Full details on the [safety and childproofing](/services/handyman-and-home-repairs/safety-and-childproofing) page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every Handis handyman is background-checked, insured, and on the hook for a 30-day workmanship guarantee. If a mount shifts, a caulk seam pulls, a drywall patch cracks, an anchor pulls out, or a door we adjusted starts dragging again within 30 days because of our workmanship, we come back and fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers our work — it does not cover damage from overloading past a rated weight, settlement in an old foundation, or a wall failure unrelated to our hardware. We will tell you on arrival if we see something that looks like a future problem.
Which sub-category should I book if my list crosses several of them?
Book under [General Handyman Services](/services/handyman-and-home-repairs/general-handyman-services) — the hourly, half-day, and full-day blocks are designed exactly for mixed lists. List every item on the booking call, including counts, rooms, and any specifics (wall types, door types, appliance models, hardware on hand), and we will quote the full visit and load the truck for the actual list rather than a single category.
