I'm a 20 year electrician looking to venture out on my own. I do more than electrical. I do carpentry, metal fabrication, interior/exterior finish work, and much more just ask.
"They took there time. Did every measurement over as well as leveling. They did not finish the job until they were sure it was on point. OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP."

"Desper Installation was prompt, professional, responsive, honest, and committed to the quality of their work throughout my entire project. After initial contact, Jonathan met setup a time and date to access the scope of my project and to provide a detailed and itemized estimate before work began. Once we agreed, they handled every detail from there until the project was complete. I even added some additional changes from our initial meeting and estimate and they were able to handle with ease. Even with some slight delays in materials, they responded with much appreciated sense of urgency and willingness to drive 2 hours just for a missing part in order to complete the project as quickly as possible. I will without a doubt hire them for my next project."

"BEWARE - NOT LICENSED!! I hired Nick for a horse stall project because he installed a trailer hitch for me with no issues. I was told they were licensed contractors, they even advertise it on their page. Over a month later and the horse stall STILL isn't finished to the specifications they themselves set. It has no flashing to protect against water damage, no trim and the gate to the stall swings both ways so no way to keep it shut. Also if you look up, you can see light inside the stall coming through cracks! I would text both of them, no response sometimes for days, sometimes not at all. I would call, no response. I would be told he was coming out and he would never show. Be given excuses about projects he was doing. Finally Nick told me he would come out to finish and I asked if he could complete a whole other project we had discussed because it had been so long and I needed it done, electrical to the stall. He said it could be done, would even add water since he would already have an open trench. Paid money for materials for the new project to be done at the same time he would be finishing the stall. Again, would not give me an honest answer about timeline, became nasty telling me he had other customers who paid him larger sums of money for their projects and he could move me to the front of the line if I gave him a credit card, laughed at my frustration and concern. Stressed to him and Corrine I would no longer be needing their services for the electrical and water and I requested a refund of what I paid for the electrical/water project. They ignored me until I stressed to them I would be taking legal action if not refunded. They then stated to me they would return all but what I owed them for the stall which had NOTHING to do with the money I had paid for the electrical/water. I was current on the stall payments and my next one was not even due for another week! I am now seeking legal action. These two are frauds, not licensed and will take your money. All of the negative reviews online are true and I DON'T believe the positive ones are from actual customers. And I have found out since, this is not the first time legal action has been taken for the same thing. BEWARE!! STAY AWAY!!!! If they try to say anything to you about there are two sides to every story and use excuses as to what occurred, reach out to me, I have NO problem sharing screenshots!"

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.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
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.
