Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a handyman cost in Seattle?
Our rates vary based on the complexity of the work. Simple repairs typically range from $100-$300, while half-day projects run $400-$600. We provide transparent quotes before any work begins. Many standard repairs can be quoted over the phone. Call (206) 460-0033 for a free estimate.
What's the difference between a handyman and a general contractor?
Great question! Your Seattle Handyman operates as a licensed general contractor, which means we can legally handle larger projects (over $2,500), pull permits, and perform more complex work than unlicensed handymen. You get contractor-level expertise with handyman flexibility and pricing.
Do I need to be home during the repairs?
For small projects, many customers give us access and head to work. For larger projects or first-time customers, being home is helpful for questions and decisions. We’re flexible and work around your schedule.
How quickly can you get here for an emergency?
For true emergencies (active leaks, storm damage, security issues), we offer same-day service and can often arrive within a few hours. Call (206) 460-0033 immediately for emergency repairs.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We’re a fully licensed general contractor in Washington State, carry comprehensive liability insurance, and are bonded for your protection. Our license number is available upon request.
What areas of Seattle do you serve?
We serve all Seattle neighborhoods – from Ballard to Beacon Hill, Capitol Hill to West Seattle, and everywhere in between. We also cover select areas on the Eastside including Mercer Island and West Bellevue. We also go as south as Federal Way and Kent
Can you help with small jobs, or do you only do big projects?
“No job too small” is our motto! We’re happy to come out for a single repair or an entire honey-do list. Many of our customers call us for quick fixes like hanging pictures, fixing squeaky doors, or replacing a faucet.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes! We offer seasonal maintenance programs designed specifically for Seattle’s climate. Regular gutter cleaning, annual roof inspections, and preventive care can save thousands in water damage repairs.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and all major credit/debit cards via our online portal. Payment is due upon completion of work unless other arrangements are made in advance.
How do I know what needs to be repaired vs. replaced?
That’s exactly the kind of guidance we provide. During our assessment, we’ll give you honest recommendations about repair vs. replacement, with cost comparisons for both options. We never upsell – just honest advice.
Can you work around my schedule?
Yes! We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends when possible. We understand that you have work and family commitments.
What if I have multiple small repairs needed?
Perfect! That’s exactly what we specialize in. Bring us your whole honey-do list and we’ll knock out multiple repairs in a single visit, saving you time and money.
