These are general 2026 Broward market ranges to help you budget — not a quote. Your actual price depends on the job, access, and materials. 1st Integrity gives free written estimates.
What drives the cost
Four things move a handyman price more than anything else: time (most small jobs are priced by the hour or as a minimum trip charge), materials (a $4 patch kit vs. a $200 fixture), access (a one-story interior wall vs. a 20-foot exterior reach), and whether the job is one task or a punch list — bundling several small jobs into one visit is almost always cheaper per item than separate trips.
Hourly vs. flat vs. day-rate — which is cheaper?
For a single quick fix, an hourly or minimum charge is usually best. For a known, repeatable job (mount a TV, swap a fan), a flat price protects you. For a full punch list, a half- or full-day rate is the best value — you keep the crew busy and skip multiple trip charges. Ask for it the way that fits your job; a straight shooter will tell you which saves you money.
When a job legally needs a licensed contractor
A handyman can legally do a lot in Florida under HB 735 — repairs, painting, flooring, tile, stucco, cabinets, pressure washing and more. But electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural work require a licensed contractor. Not sure which bucket your job is in?
