By BuildMan · Flat-rate handyman from $150 · Updated
BuildMan's flat-rate handyman visits in Toronto cost $150 for 1 hour, $280 for 2 hours and $410 for 3 hours, with extra time at $85 per hour. A 1-hour visit fits one TV mount or faucet swap, 2 hours suits a short list of 2 to 4 jobs, and 3 hours covers a half-day honey-do list. Travel anywhere in the GTA, tools, correct anchors, clean-up and a workmanship guarantee are included; materials are billed at supplier cost with the receipt.
Flat-rate pricing only helps if you know what you're getting. Here's a clear, no-surprises breakdown of what a BuildMan handyman visit includes at each tier — what fits, what's covered, and what's billed separately — so you can plan a booking that gets the most done.
The three flat rates
| Visit | Price | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Hour | $150 | One quick fix or single install |
| 2 Hours | $280 (save $20) | A short punch-list of 2–4 jobs |
| 3 Hours | $410 (save $40) | A proper half-day list |
After three hours, additional time is $85/hour. If a job needs a second technician (a large TV, a heavy door), the hours for that portion are doubled — we always tell you before starting.

How to get the most from a visit
Two tips: bundle your jobs into one booking (a 3-hour visit beats three separate 1-hour call-outs), and send photos and product info when you book so we arrive with the right tools and parts and finish on the first visit. Not sure how long your list will take? Tell us what's on it and we'll recommend the tier. For more on pricing, see our full handyman cost guide.

What's the minimum charge for a handyman?
Our minimum is the 1-hour flat rate of $150, which already includes travel anywhere in the GTA — there's no separate trip fee or call-out charge on top.
What happens if my job runs over the hour?
For a single small job we aim to finish within the tier you booked. If your list clearly needs more time, we'll agree on the 2- or 3-hour rate up front — you're never surprised by the bill.
Are materials included in the flat rate?
No — labour is flat-rate; materials (faucets, mounts, paint, anchors) are billed at supplier cost with the receipt. We confirm material costs before buying anything.
Can I combine different types of jobs in one visit?
Yes, that's the best way to use flat-rate pricing. A single 2- or 3-hour visit can cover plumbing, mounting, drywall and doors — we work through your list in priority order.
