Wondering what your home project will cost?

November 19th, 2025

Wondering what your home project will cost? Learn how YourHandymanAtlanta.com uses transparent hourly pricing so you only pay for the work actually done. This guide breaks down handyman pricing in Atlanta so you know exactly what to expect.

When you’re trying to get work done around your home, few things are more frustrating than not knowing what a project will actually cost. Atlanta homeowners deal with this all the time: flat-rate quotes that feel inflated, surprise charges added at the end, and estimates that don’t match the final bill.

At YourHandymanAtlanta.com, we do things differently.

We believe in honesty, transparency, and real value. That’s why our pricing is based on time actually worked—not padded flat rates, not hidden markups, and not vague “starting at” estimates. When you hire us, you know exactly where your money is going.

Why Hourly Pricing Works Better for Homeowners

Flat-rate pricing is designed to protect the contractor, not the customer. Built into every flat rate is a cushion—extra money added in case the job takes longer than expected. The problem? When the job doesn’t take that long, the customer still pays the inflated rate.

Our approach is simple:

You pay for the time we spend. Nothing more.

Here’s what our transparent handyman pricing looks like:

First hour per day, per technician: $150/hr
Each additional hour: $125/hr, billed in 15-minute increments
Materials: Provided at our cost + 15% (with receipts available upon request)

No surprises. No guesswork. Just skilled, efficient work measured honestly.
