A handyman charges $50 to $80 per hour or $320 to $600 per day on average, plus the cost of materials. A handyman may have a minimum charge of $75 to $200 or a minimum number of hours. Common services may have flat-rate handyman pricing, including both the labor and materials.

Websites like Yelp, Google Maps, and Angie's List offer handyman listings and real reviews from folks in your area. Another cool trick is to hit up local hardware stores. They often have bulletin boards with business cards and flyers from local handymen. Plus, they might have insider info on who's reliable.
