Our Handyman Pricing Guide
Our Handyman Pricing Guide
We hate surprise bills, so every quote is clear and in writing— you’ll know exactly what the job costs before we start. For Standard Repairs and Installs, the price we give is the price you pay. With Lite Renovations, we use our experience to flag common “what-ifs” (mold, rot, re-framing) and communicate their fair add-on prices up-front— no shocks if we have to open a wall. Just honest pricing that lets you budget with confidence, and lets us do great work without cutting corners. That’s the HomeHero way.

A Handshake You Can Count On
Hey, it’s Greg, owner of HomeHero. I built this company because I was tired of shady quotes and surprise bills. Every price you see is the price we stand behind, fair, clear, and in writing. If something unexpected comes up on a bigger project, you’ll know the cost and approve it before we move forward. Whether it’s me or one of the guys I personally trust on the job, my name is on the truck and on every invoice. If anything ever feels off, call or text me directly; I’m still the one who answers. Good work and honest pricing aren’t negotiable here. That’s my promise.
