Tyler Paszty says, "Outstanding, Quality Work ! Edmunds Sondors is a really smart, experienced, and talented contractor who thinks a job through to the end! He is punctual, professional, and trust-worthy. He is one of the few people to whom I have given a key to my home, so that he could work when I'm not there. He cleans up after he's done with a job, and he always takes precautions to put down pads or drop-clothes to protect our sinks, floors, counters, etc. . .I used to get three estimates for most jobs, but with Edmunds, I just call him to do the job because I've learned over time that his work is always exceptional, his price is always fair, and he always gives me the option of giving me a bid for a job or my paying him by the hour, whichever I prefer.When we originally moved into our house fourteen years ago, it had been vacant for over a year, and there was a leak in the roof, which had caused interior damage, among other much-needed repairs to be done on our home. As a result, I have had experience with quite a number of different contractors and repair men, and I was often disappointed by the quality of the work, the mess that was left behind after the work, or even the damage that contractors sometimes caused to a sink or counter or wall, while repairing something else nearby.Over the past eleven years, Edmunds Sondors has beautifully remodeled a master bath in our home, replaced wood flooring and dry-wall (damaged by a slow leak in a bathroom water pipe), refinished twelve interior and exterior sliding oak doors throughout our home, and done all kinds of smaller electrical, plumbing, and other household repairs.The other day, I had a variety of repairs needed in my home. Instead of having to call and schedule a plumber, an electrician, an appliance repairman, and a door company (and then wait for each of them to arrive separately over a period of several days!), I was able to call Edmunds, who arrived when he said he would, and get all the repairs done in about three hours.I feel fortunate to have a person of his caliber to do both major renovations and small "handy-man" jobs as well. He can do almost anything that needs to be done in a home! And he has often saved me hundreds of dollars by finding a simpler solution to a problem than the repair I thought was needed--even though he might have made more money by not telling me there was a simpler way to make a repair. Edmunds is an honest person of high integrity, with high standards for the work he does."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Minimum rates for handyman jobs typically range from $60-$100. Pricing will depend on skill and experience required for the job, as well as regional labor rates. Here are a few examples of average handyman flat rates:

  • Attic ladder replacement: $150.
  • Toilet replacement: $75.
  • Ceiling fan and light fixtures: $75.
  • Faucet replacement: $125.
  • Garbage disposal: $75.

A handyman performs general maintenance and repairs for residential and commercial properties. A handyman may charge a flat fee for standard services that take a predictable amount of time, such as installing a new appliance, as well as an hourly rate for larger projects such as digging out and replacing a rotted fence post. A cost-saving strategy when hiring a handyman is to bundle all the tasks you want them to do into one visit to make the most of any minimum service fees.

A handyman is a skilled laborer who provides basic home repairs. Anyone can call themselves a handyman, although most who do so are skilled with repairs and home projects. Reading reviews is a good way to determine their fitness for your job. The tasks a handyman can perform include assembling furniture, painting interiors and exteriors, repairing fences, repairing broken doors or replacing trim, hanging lights, hooking up appliances, and much more. Handymen may have flat fees for certain services, or charge an hourly rate. Handyman rates are often lower than those of a contractor, as they don’t have the same specialization. Some states have no limit on the work a handyman can perform, while others do. For example, California’s Building and Professions Code section 7048 (small operations) permits handymen to provide work similar to that of a contractor (floor installation, painting, etc.) provided the total cost of labor and materials does not exceed $500. A handyman is a great resource for minor home repairs at a lower cost than a licensed contractor, but for more complex projects, it pays to hire a specialized contractor. Fore more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

In some states, a handyman can provide plumbing services, but it may be in your best interest to call a plumber, particularly for issues more major than unclogging a drain or attaching a new sink. Hiring a plumber is important because mishandling your water and gas lines has the potential to do great damage to your home, your family’s health, or even the safety of your neighborhood. A handyman is not legally required to have any training or licensing in plumbing matters, while a licensed plumber has undergone years of education and on-the-job training. In some cases, homeowners insurance won’t cover damage caused by plumbing repair done by an unlicensed handyman.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, most plumbers learn their trade through a four- or five-year apprenticeship with 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job training. They also receive classroom education including “safety, local plumbing codes and regulations, and blueprint reading. They also study mathematics, applied physics, and chemistry. After completing an apprenticeship program, plumbers … are considered to be journey workers, qualifying them to perform duties on their own,” according to the DOL. Licensed plumbers should do continuing education to keep abreast of safety and technology changes. Poor plumbing can lead to sewage backups, a flooded home or even natural gas leaks, so it’s best to leave it in the hands of a specialized professional.

It’s worth it to hire a handyman in many cases. For example, you should hire a handyman when the project’s size and scope make it challenging to complete by yourself. These projects may include major home remodels or additions, foundation work or electrical/plumbing/HVAC-related tasks. However, make sure the handyman has the proper credentials or license to perform the necessary work.

You might also want to hire a handyman if a contractor’s price is too high. Handymen often charge less than general contractors, but contractors typically have the required license to perform certain tasks.

And, lastly, think about the complexity of the job and the cost of future repairs. It’s worth it to hire a handyman when the project is complex. Doing something incorrectly can wind up costing more than hiring the pro in the first place.

Reviews for Santa Paula handymen on Thumbtack

From Tracey S.

Georgi arrived about an hour later than we had discussed but he did inform me that he was running late. He did an excellent job installing our new fireplace mantel onto our tiled fireplace wall. He also did a great job at installing both of our garden hose mounts. He was here for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. He did charge $250 for all three jobs which is on the expensive side but he was coming from the LA area. He did inform me that he would need to charge extra for the distance. We're in Santa Paula. Next time I will try to hire a more local handyman.
