Hiring a handymen in Chicago
The handymen serving Chicago are your go-to for the long list of small jobs that aren't worth a single-trade specialist's truck-roll fee: drywall patches, door and window adjustments, tile and grout, faucet and toilet swaps, ceiling fan installs, deck repair, gutter cleaning, mounting TVs, hanging shelves, and assembling furniture. Most bill in two- or four-hour minimums and can knock out six to ten small jobs in a single afternoon.
For anything involving a permit (most plumbing past a fixture swap, all electrical past an outlet swap, structural changes, gas work), insist on the appropriate licensed specialist instead. The handymen in our directory are upfront about what they will and won't take on, and will refer you to a licensed plumber, electrician, or HVAC pro from FixNearMe when the job calls for it.
Typical Chicago handyman billing: $65–$110/hour with a two-hour minimum. Drywall patch + paint $180–$350, ceiling fan swap $150–$300, toilet replacement $200–$450, gutter clean (single story) $130–$250.
