- Frequently Asked Questions -

This is a loaded question, so we will need info about your job beforehand.

• Where do you live?
• How quickly do you need the work done?
• Do you need a Certificate of Insurance?
• What tasks you need help with – are they simple, or do they require more unique skills to accomplish?
• Is there a possibility of having to make hardware store runs?
• Does it require special tools?
• Can we only come during evenings/weekends to help?

In short, we base prices on all of these things. Prices can also vary depending on how busy our schedule already is, if we need to purchase new tools/materials, how long of a train ride one-way you are, etc.

Most jobs average between $249-$995. 

Cash is king! Zelle is second, then comes Venmo/Cash App. Then comes Credit Cards. Heck, we can even take most Cryptocurrencies. And last but not least, bartering is always an option (art, food, skills, experiences, etc.)

Well. A ton goes into an “easy job”. Insurance (we carry 2x required minimum liability), bonding, licensing, tools breaking, assortment of materials always on hand, travel, wear and tear on our bodies, and so on.

There’s also the cost of advertising, getting durable clothing, spending hours every week emailing, etc.

Additionally we pay hefty New York State taxes, LLC fees, and CPA fees.

And finally, with 15+ years of knowledge (lots of that being unpaid), spending time learning new skills, plenty of dog treats, and so so so much more, we’ve got to make it worth all the time we spent and continue to spend.

We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured General Contractor in New York. However, most of our work is the ‘honey-do’ type of to-do lists. That is to say, things we can do with just us and a backpack of tools. However, there are occasions that we will rent a truck, more tools, etc. 

• We are not a plumber or an electrician. 
• We don’t haul trash away.
• We don’t do major exterior/roof/façade work.
• We don’t refinish floors (just small repairs)

While we are based in Upper Manhattan, we do travel (subways, taxis, scooter, etc.) upwards of 1hr one way. So we’re a Manhattan Handyman, Brooklyn Handyman, and a Queens Handyman!

AC Install Info Needed

• What size and is it new or used
• Do we need to install/supply a safety bracket (required for buildings 6 stories and taller)
• Do we need to carry it up/down flights of stairs
• We do not dispose of old units beyond building trash areas

TV Mounting Info Needed

• What size TV (brand/model helps)
• What type of mount (basic tilt, full motion)
• What type of wall (drywall, plaster, brick, etc.)

Shelving Info Needed

Yes. We will send estimates via email (send us tons of info and photos) for no cost, but if you request to have us come out in person, there is a travel fee to do so.

Sometimes. For example, if there are a lot of materials that have to be purchased prior to the date of the job, yes. But if it’s just a normal service call, maybe. 

If you need a booked job to be rescheduled (with less than 1 week notice), there is a $95 fee.

Yes. Here.
