How much does a handyman cost in Houston? ▾
Handymen in Houston, Texas typically charge $65–$125 per hour, with a 1-2 hour minimum. Most small repairs (faucet, drywall patch, ceiling fan) run $150–$400 all-in including parts and labor.
Are handymen in Houston licensed and insured? ▾
Every paid LocalHandyman.work pro in Houston is required to have current insurance on file. Where Texas state law requires a contractor license for the work being performed (typically electrical and plumbing), license verification is performed against the state licensing board before the 'Verified Pro' badge is granted.
Can I find a same-day handyman in Houston? ▾
Yes. Many of our verified pros in Houston accept same-day jobs, especially for emergencies (burst pipes, no heat, sparking outlets, garage door stuck). Use the search above to filter by 'available today.'
What's the difference between a handyman and a contractor in Texas? ▾
A handyman generally handles small-to-medium repairs and installations under a state-defined dollar threshold (varies by state — typically $500-$1,000) and does not require a general-contractor license. Larger structural, electrical-panel, or plumbing jobs typically require a licensed contractor.
How do I get a quote from a handyman in Houston? ▾
Pick a service above (or use 'General repair' if you have multiple items), enter your ZIP, and you'll see verified pros serving Houston with their prices, reviews, and availability. Most pros respond within 30 minutes during business hours.
Do Houston handymen on LocalHandyman.work pay you to be listed? ▾
Pros pay a flat monthly subscription ($4.99–$49) to use our platform — CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and the marketplace listing. We never charge them per lead, which means they're not in a bidding war and you get a direct match to one pro, not five at once.
