What drives the price of a repair?
Two jobs that sound the same can differ in price. The biggest factors: how big the damage or the item really is, how easy the spot is to reach, what your wall is made of, and whether materials or fixtures are part of the job. That is why every range on this page is a range and not a single number.
Valley Fixers keeps it simple: describe the job or send a photo, and the vetted pro we match you with confirms one fixed price before any work starts. Jobs over $1,000 or anything that needs a permit are handled by a CSLB-licensed contractor from our network. Curious how the matching works? Read how it works.
Frequently asked questions about handyman prices
How accurate are these price ranges?
They reflect what comparable jobs typically cost in the San Fernando Valley area. Your exact price depends on the size of the job, access and materials. Describe your job or send a photo, and the pro we match you with confirms one fixed price before any work starts. That number is the one you pay.
Do I pay by the hour or per job?
Most small repairs are priced per job, so you know the total before anyone starts. For longer to-do lists an hourly rate can work out better, and we will tell you honestly which option is cheaper for your situation.
Who does the work?
A vetted local pro from our network. Small jobs, under $1,000 in labor and materials and without a permit, are handled by skilled independent handymen, which California law allows. Bigger jobs or anything that needs a permit go to a CSLB-licensed contractor from the same network.
Are materials included in the price?
Each range on this page says what it includes. Standard mounting hardware and fasteners are usually part of the job. Fixtures you pick yourself, like a new faucet or ceiling fan, are extra, and your pro can also bring a standard option for you.
Is there a minimum charge?
Most pros in our network use a minimum service call, since driving out for a single five minute fix does not add up otherwise. That is exactly why bundling several small jobs into one visit is the cheapest way to work through your list.
When do I pay?
You pay the pro directly when the job is done and you have checked the result. No prepayment to us, and our matching service is free for homeowners.
