Handyman Services in Keller, TX

Handyman work covers small punch-list jobs: patching drywall, caulking, re-hanging or adjusting doors, mounting fixtures and TVs, replacing weatherstripping, swapping faucets, and minor carpentry. Most jurisdictions cap unlicensed handyman work by job type or dollar value and require a licensed contractor or trade for major electrical, gas piping, structural, plumbing supply/DWV changes, and HVAC. A flat-rate handyman cannot legally pull permits for that work, so those tasks get referred out.

Most charge either an hourly rate (often with a 1-hour or 2-hour minimum) or a flat per-task rate; the starting price typically covers the trip plus the first block of labor. Materials are billed separately, either at cost or with a markup. Get the pricing model in writing up front, since a $145 minimum spread over one tiny task is far costlier per hour than the same minimum absorbing a half-day of stacked work.

Yes. The trip charge and labor minimum are fixed costs paid once per visit, so adding tasks spreads them out. Three 20-minute jobs in one appointment cost far less than three separate trips. Have your full list ready and the materials on hand or pre-discussed so the tech isn't making supply runs on your clock.

Hire out when the fix needs a tool you'd buy once (oscillating multi-tool, stud finder for a heavy mount), when failure is costly or unsafe (a TV mount into drywall instead of studs, a leak behind a wall), or when several jobs stack into a half-day. DIY the truly simple stuff like tightening hardware or swapping a cabinet pull. A straight answer on which is which is a fair thing to ask before booking.

Only the cosmetic, exterior items: sealing trim, patching surrounding drywall, painting a mantel, or minor surface masonry touch-ups. Anything affecting the flue, liner, firebox, damper, or a gas appliance must go to a CSIA-certified chimney technician or a licensed gas tech. Per NFPA 211, chimneys should be inspected at least annually and that inspection is not handyman scope.
