"hired Mr. Handyman to put two drawer fronts, handles, and two sets of glides. The first time they came out he looked at the job quickly and said the office didn't schedule enough time. I showed him the drawer glides and said Im not sure if these are right. He said dont worry I will make them fit. We talked about a day he could come out. I believe two weeks later. There was no confirmation of anyone coming. I forgot until I saw the van pull in. He came and showed me their hourly cost. I agreed. He looked at the glides and said they won't work. I paid 108.00 for them and had them a month from the time I ordered them until the time he came back. The company said it was too late to return. If I returned them two weeks earlier I would have been in the time frame to get a refund. He left to go to a hardware store 6 minutes away and came back over an hour later. On my dime. As time was going on Im doing a rough estimate in my head of the cost and thinking he was on the second drawer. He was not. Now with the clock ticking we are already into this for around 4 1/2 hours. This is one drawer. I told him to stop after he was done with first drawer for fear of what it would cost. He finishes up and hands me a bill for 575.00. One drawer. After he left I went to open the drawer and not only is it slightly crooked the door handle isnt on correctly. He also used cheap 10.00 glides which will fail due to the weight of the silverware. I emailed the office telling them how mad I am about the cost of the drawer and that its wrong. The office sporadically gets back to you. When they said they would fix it I finally agreed and made the appointment. Meanwhile I had another handyman come to do the other drawer. He finished in an hour and a half with sturdy soft close glides. It cost me 160 including glides. I emailed a copy of the receipt with the correct glides. No response. Today before my appointment I emailed confirming he was getting the correct glides before he came. They said they were only coming to fix the cheap glides if needed and fix drawer front and handle. I said I never asked for cheap glides that are not soft close. Also the correct glides are bottom mount. The glides he installed are side mount. Not one drawer has side mount glides. Then the office responded I have to check with the owner but we didn't schedule time for him to replace them. I just told them to cancel. If you responded a few days ago telling me this I wouldn't have spent half a day waiting for someone to come. 575 for installation of one drawer front, glide and handle. $55.00 of which were supplies that I googled and come to around 19.00. 108 I lost because I cannot return the drawer glides I was told would fit. On top of that 4 hours of my morning to find out they had no intention of replacing with the equivalent door glides. Yes people agree to the hourly rate. But NEVER in a million years would I have agreed to that amount of money for one drawer. I also told him to stop when he planned on being there a day which would have been well over 1000 for TWO drawers. They also will not provide receipts of purchases. So their sticking it to you on that also."

"Hired him to repair crumbling grout at the steps to our entrance. He had forgotten a few spots and left before we could inspect the work. No big deal, he promised to return the next day. He didn't show up but was still paid due to miscommunication with another unit owner. He missed another appointment, and I have been unable to reach him since. He doesn't respond to texts and hasn't answered any of the 15 calls I made over the past two months."

Prompt, dedicated, great communication, and all the tools and supplies to get the job done. I felt their prices were reasonable, especially as the work was completely done when they left - no punch list, no coming back another day to finish. Cleaned up really well, too. I'm 100% satisfied."

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.
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.
You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:
Pros
Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.
Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard.
Water features can add more value to your home.
Cons
Regular maintenance is necessary.
Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.
Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.
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.
