What happens after the first two handyman hours?
Eligible handyman labour after the included two hours is $85 per hour per tradesperson, billed in 15-minute increments.
Is material included in the handyman price?
No. Material and paid parking are additional. Any other work specifically requested by the client is added to the written estimate.
Does the advertised handyman rate apply outside regular business hours?
No. Evening, overnight, weekend, holiday and other work outside regular business hours requires a separate quote.
How much does standard interior wall painting cost?
Standard interior wall painting starts at $0.99 per square foot of paintable wall surface, per coat, + material. The rate applies to walls only, standard-size walls, standard ceiling heights, regular business hours, normal access and ample room for the work to be completed.
When is the three-coat painting package required?
A major colour change or a wall with patches or repair work requires our three-coat system: one primer coat and two finish coats. At $0.99 per square foot per coat, the labour price is $2.97 per square foot of paintable wall surface, + material.
Can I choose a one-coat or two-coat refresh?
Yes. For suitable walls with no major colour change, a one-coat refresh is $0.99 per square foot and a two-coat refresh is $1.98 per square foot of paintable wall surface, + material.
Is moving furniture included in the painting price?
No. The advertised painting price assumes ample room is available for the work to be completed. Moving furniture, especially heavy or oversized items, is additional and must be included in the written estimate.
Are trim, doors and ceilings included in the wall rate?
No. Trim, doors, door frames, ceilings and other client-requested work are priced separately and can be included in one complete written estimate.
Does the handyman minimum apply to electrical work?
No. Electrical work is estimate-only and must be completed through the Licensed Electrical Contractor responsible for that work.
