The first question almost every Charlotte homeowner asks me is simple: "What's this going to cost?" It's a fair question, and one a lot of websites dodge. So here's a straight answer — real 2026 price ranges for the jobs I get asked about most, based on what I actually charge across the Charlotte metro area. No hidden fees, no vague "call for a quote" runaround.
A quick note on how handyman pricing works: most small jobs are quoted as a flat rate per task, not strictly by the hour. There's a 2-hour minimum per visit, so it's almost always cheaper to bundle several small jobs into one trip than to call me out three separate times.
🧾 Build-Your-Visit Estimator
Check the jobs you need in one visit for a ballpark total — bundling beats the 2-hour minimum.
Pick a few — most visits land between $150 and $400.
Mounting & Hanging
- TV wall mounting (drywall): $75–$150, depending on size and wire concealment.
- TV mounting on brick or stone: $150–$250 — masonry anchors and a different drill setup.
- Picture, mirror & shelf hanging: $75–$150 for a small batch.
- Floating shelves / closet systems: $100–$250.
Doors & Trim
- Sticky or misaligned door adjustment: $75–$150.
- Interior door installation: $150–$250 per door.
- Baseboard or crown molding: $150–$400 depending on room size and material.
Walls & Paint
- Small drywall patch (nail holes, dings): $75–$150.
- Medium drywall repair (door-knob hole, water damage): $150–$350 with texture matching.
- Interior painting (single room): $200–$600 depending on size, prep, and trim.
Kitchen & Bath
- Cabinet hardware (knobs & pulls): $100–$250 for a typical kitchen.
- Faucet replacement: $100–$200.
- Toilet repair (flapper, fill valve, running toilet): $100–$200.
- Bathroom recaulking: $75–$200.
Outside the House
- Gutter cleaning & minor repair: $100–$300 depending on home size and height.
- Deck board replacement & railing fixes: $150–$500.
- Smart doorbell or camera installation: $100–$300 including configuration.
What Changes the Price
Three things move a quote up or down more than anything else:
- Access & height. A second-story gutter or a TV over a tall fireplace takes longer and needs more equipment.
- Surface. Brick, tile, and plaster (common in historic Charlotte neighborhoods) are slower than standard drywall.
- Materials. I can pick up parts for you, or you can supply them — your call.
How to Get the Most for Your Money
Bundle your list. If you've got a wobbly toilet, two pictures to hang, and a squeaky door, getting them all done in one visit easily beats the 2-hour minimum and saves you a second trip charge. Send me a few photos up front and I'll give you a clear estimate before I ever show up — so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Every quote I give is free and upfront. If you'd like a real number for your specific project, send over a quick description and a couple of photos and I'll get right back to you.
