FAQ
Do Texas handymen need a license?
Texas does not require a state license for general handyman work. However, any work falling under plumbing, electrical, or HVAC must be done by a TSBPE or TDLR licensed contractor — handymen cannot legally perform that work for compensation.
What's a typical handyman hourly rate in Texas?
$75–$150 per hour in major Texas metros in 2026, with a 1–2 hour minimum on most calls. Trip charges of $50–$95 are common for the first visit.
Should I get a quote upfront?
Yes — for any project over $300, get a written quote with scope, materials, and timeline. Verbal estimates and time-and-materials billing without limits are common scam vectors.
