AI Coalition Network
Houston, TX
AI Coalition Network is a low-voltage, networking and home-technology contractor owned and operated by James Henderson, serving Fulshear, Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Sugar Land, Cypress and the greater Houston area. Structured wiring is the core of what we do: Cat6 and ethernet drops, coaxial outlets, structured wiring panels, network racks and patch panels, Wi-Fi access points placed where they will actually reach, in-wall cable runs for wall-mounted TVs, in-wall speaker wiring, and tracing cable and signal faults that other people have given up on. We also fit the devices that sit on top of that wiring — smart thermostats, video doorbells, smart locks, security cameras and smart lighting — and handle the electrical side of a job, from outlets, switches, lighting and ceiling fans through to panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installation, generators and surge protection. Alongside that we install appliances (dishwashers, refrigerators, washers and dryers, ovens and ranges, over-range microwaves and water softeners) and take on general repairs and assembly: TV mounting, shelving and picture hanging, furniture assembly, caulking, childproofing and grab bars. One thing worth knowing when you are comparing quotes: we do our own drywall. Running cable through finished walls means opening them, and we patch, repair cracks, match the existing texture and repair ceilings ourselves rather than leaving holes for someone else to deal with.

Common questions
How much does a handyman cost?
A handyman in the U.S. charges $65–$125 per hour in 2026, with a 1–2 hour minimum. Most small repairs (faucet, drywall patch, ceiling fan) run $150–$400 all-in including parts and labor. See the full breakdown by region at /cost/handyman-hourly-rate.
How do I find a good handyman?
Ask to see a current certificate of insurance, check any license the work requires on your state board's public lookup, look for real reviews tied to actual jobs, transparent up-front pricing, and a published service area. Red flags: cash-only, refusal to itemize materials, quotes that change after work starts.
Are handymen on LocalHandyman.work licensed and insured?
It varies by pro, and the badges tell you which. A "Licensed" or "Insured" badge means someone on our team checked that document and recorded the date, which is shown on the badge. A pro without a badge has not been reviewed — that is not the same as having failed a review. We do not run continuous monitoring, so always ask for a current certificate of insurance before work begins. See /trust.
How fast can I book a handyman?
About 60 seconds: enter your ZIP code, pick the job, set urgency, and compare vetted pros with real prices before you confirm.
Can a handyman do plumbing or electrical work?
A handyman can usually do small fixture swaps (faucet, ceiling fan, toilet) without a license. Larger plumbing or electrical work — new circuits, new drain lines, panel upgrades — typically requires a licensed contractor in most states.
How is LocalHandyman.work different from Angi or Thumbtack?
Angi and Thumbtack sell the same lead to 3–5 contractors (Angi: $30–$80 per lead; Thumbtack: $15–$30 per quote). LocalHandyman.work charges contractors a flat $19/month and connects each homeowner directly to one verified pro — no auction. See the side-by-side at /compare/localhandyman-vs-angi.
How are pros vetted?
Pros subscribe, build a profile, and can submit license, insurance or background-check documentation for review. Where our team has checked something, a dated badge appears on the profile. Pros cannot grant themselves badges. See /trust for what each one covers and what it does not.
Do I see the price before booking?
Yes. Every booking shows a price range up front based on your job and ZIP code — urgency or weekend premiums included, never added after.
What if something goes wrong?
Jobs close only when you confirm completion, and our support and dispute workflow backs every booking.
