FAQ
Handyman Questions
Blue Ridge Home Pro does not set rates, the handyman quotes the job. As national background, HomeGuide puts self-employed handymen at $50 to $80 an hour and corporate or franchise handymen at $75 to $125, in both cases before materials. Most have a minimum charge, usually the first hour or two, which covers drive time. For larger projects expect a flat-rate quote instead. Request a free estimate to get a real number for your job.
No job is too small! The handymen we refer are happy to handle quick fixes like tightening a loose railing, rehanging a door or patching drywall. Anything on the wiring itself goes to a licensed electrician, not a handyman. Many homeowners save up a list of small projects for a single visit to get the most value.
It depends on the trade, and the honest answer is more useful than a blanket yes. Virginia does not require a state contractor licence for work under $1,000 on a single project, so a general handyman doing small repairs is often not required to hold one. Where a job falls into a specialist trade that does require a licence, such as electrical or plumbing, we refer you to a licensed specialist for that part instead. Licence and insurance are verified before referral, at the level the specific work requires.
