Ceiling fan installation typically runs between $75 and $150 depending on the setup — whether there's existing wiring, if any drywall work is needed, and the type of fan. We always quote upfront so you know the cost before work begins. See our pricing guide for more common project costs.

Yes — we handle fixture-level plumbing like running toilets, leaky faucets, fill valve and flapper replacements, shower diverter installs, and new fixture hookups. For major plumbing work like re-piping or sewer lines, we'll refer you to a licensed plumber. Check out our plumbing services page for details.

Yes, we handle common appliance repairs including dishwashers and refrigerators. Service calls start at $75, and we'll diagnose the problem before doing any work — so you can decide if repair or replacement makes more sense.

We appreciate the offer, but no. Our insurance doesn't cover working alongside the homeowner on the job site. When you hire licensed and insured contractors, that's part of what you're paying for — the peace of mind that comes with proper liability coverage. We keep pricing fair so it's worth it either way.

Absolutely. Playset and shed assembly is a common request. Pricing depends on the product — all-plastic models are cheaper to assemble (around $400), while wood or shingled designs take longer and run $550+. Just send us a link to what you bought and we'll give you a flat-rate quote.

No — garage door maintenance and repair is outside our scope. We focus on indoor services like plumbing, electrical, painting, drywall, and general repairs. For garage doors, we recommend calling a dedicated garage door service company.

Yes, we serve both residential homeowners and commercial clients including contractors and property managers. We've handled bulk furniture assembly projects, commercial carpet tile replacement, and make-ready turnovers for multi-unit properties. Contact us to discuss your commercial project.

Yes! We serve the Park City and Summit County area including Deer Valley, Prospector, and the Snyderville Basin. Visit our Park City handyman page for more details.

It depends on the condition. If your trim and doors show wear, scuffs, or dated color, painting them with the walls makes a bigger impact. If they're in good shape, walls and ceilings alone can still transform a room. We'll walk through the scope with you before quoting.

For most jobs, yes — you buy the paint and we supply the labor, tools, and prep materials. This gives you full control over color and finish. We can help you choose the right type (low luster for walls, semi-gloss for trim and doors) if you're not sure.

Most interior walls should be repainted every 5-7 years, though high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens may need it sooner. Bathrooms and kitchens benefit from repainting every 3-4 years due to moisture and grease exposure.

Yes. Replacing an existing toilet is a standard handyman job as long as no plumbing modifications are needed. If you're moving the toilet to a different location, that requires a licensed plumber. See our plumbing services page for more.

Yes. Showerhead replacement is one of the simplest plumbing jobs — most take 15 minutes. Handheld shower conversions with a diverter take a bit longer and run about $125.

Yes. Replacing a standard light switch with a dimmer switch is a common handyman job. It involves turning off the breaker, removing the old switch, connecting the dimmer, and testing. Most dimmer installs take 15-30 minutes per switch.

Yes. Smart switches, smart thermostats, video doorbells, and smart lighting all fall within handyman scope. These devices replace existing fixtures and connect to your home Wi-Fi.

Yes, and it saves thousands compared to new cabinets. Cabinet painting involves removing doors, sanding, priming, painting (usually 2 coats), and reinstalling with new hardware. This is one of the most popular kitchen facelift projects.

Yes, but the water source must be fixed first. Once the leak is repaired, the damaged drywall is cut out, new drywall is installed, and the seams are mudded, taped, and textured to match.

In many cases, yes. LVP and laminate can be installed directly over existing tile if the tile is in good condition, level, and firmly attached. Cracked, loose, or uneven tiles should be removed or leveled first. See our flooring installation page for more details.

A handyman handles smaller maintenance, repair, and improvement jobs and typically works alone. A general contractor manages large construction projects, hires subcontractors, and pulls permits. Handymen are ideal for tasks like painting, drywall, fixtures, fans, and assembly. Contractors are needed for structural changes, additions, and major renovations. Visit our pricing guide for more.

Look for proof of insurance, online reviews, a clear pricing structure, and willingness to provide a written estimate before starting work. Ask if they guarantee their work and how they handle issues after the job. A good handyman communicates clearly, shows up on time, and cleans up after the job.
