I encourage the reader to thoroughly read this text since it has important context: I specialize in residential home wiring, meaning I know how to work with Romex and I received a basic introduction into industrial EMT conduit bending and conduit wiring. I have OSHA 10 General Industry, OSHA 10 General Construction and Safety certifications, as well as a forklift certification, driver's license, and other satellite certifications regarding tool and workplace safety. I'm also a licensed Technician Class amateur radio station operator who's studying for General Class operator, and lastly, I'm a drafter and CAD user (3+ years of experience). I graduated from the Wind River Job Corps trade school, located in Wyoming. My training lasted exactly 1 year. My most recent project was wiring a large residence and it passed inspection. I take education very seriously. I'm moving to Durango in mid August of 2024 to study engineering; I will be a full-time college student there. I'm looking for a more experienced electrician to get my foot in the door. I've applied for an electrician apprentice license in the state of Colorado in June, and it's pending supervision, which means that I must find a Master or equivalent to work under. I have strong reasoning that job listing websites such as LinkedIn, ziprecruiter, and equivalent, often look for an electrician Journeyman or equivalent who can work 40+ hours a week. I deemed it appropriate to make a profile for Angie's list so that I may have less sanctioned outreach to other electricians. Please note, if I'm going to work on a residence, then you must know that unless an electrician takes me under their wing, I cannot receive an electrician's apprentice license for the state of Colorado, which was what I expected long before finishing trade school. With this being said, please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
