Popular jobs & starting prices

What it usually costs.

Flat prices are per job. Hourly jobs are charged at your Spotter's own rate, which you see before you choose them. Your all-in price is confirmed before anything is booked.

The Sign-Off Promise

You don't pay a cent until you've signed off that the job is done. If something isn't right, don't sign: call or text us from the job and we'll work it out before anyone is paid.

Light handyman questions

Good to know.

What counts as light handyman?
Hanging, patching, caulking and adjusting things. Anything electrical, plumbing, gas or structural goes to a licensed trade.
Can you fix a leaky tap?
No, that's plumbing. We'll happily point you to a licensed plumber.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to let your Spotter in and sign off at the end. For businesses, a manager or staff member can sign.
What if it takes longer than planned?
Your Spotter checks with you before going past the time you agreed. Hourly jobs are billed for the time worked, at the rate you saw when booking.
