Why the block beats the per-job minimum
Specialists charge a minimum per job; a block handyman charges for the visit. Two jobs that would each cost a $150 minimum elsewhere — a fan swap and a faucet — are one $200 block here, with two workers doing them in parallel. That's the whole idea behind our handyman for a day visits: the list gets priced once, priced honestly, and finished in one trip.
Questions, answered straight
How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Wilkes-Barre?
Guides cite $100–$250 for ceiling fan installation. Capital 7 installs fans inside the $200 first-2-hour block with 2 workers — so the fan plus another small job in the same visit is usually the same $200.
How much is a furniture assembly service near me?
Guides put furniture assembly at $50–$150 typical depending on the piece. We price by the visit: most pieces assemble inside one block, and several pieces in one visit is the best value — send photos of the boxes and we'll confirm.
What does a leaky faucet repair cost?
Faucet installation and leaky faucet repairs run $75–$150 in national guides. With Capital 7, a faucet swap fits inside the first $200 block — and the same visit can usually absorb the caulking and the toilet flapper too.
Do prices include materials?
Standard materials for common repairs (caulk, anchors, patch compound, common hardware) ride on the truck. Fixtures and finishes you choose — fans, faucets, mounts — are supplied by you or sourced at cost with your approval; the labor price you approved doesn't change.
