How the scores are built

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other handymen in the area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from a few dozen people counts for less than the same score from hundreds. Recency shows how lately customers have left reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How handymen price their work in Fort Lauderdale

Handyman work is priced by the job or by the hour, and the quote usually depends on how long it takes, what materials it needs, and whether the repair opens up bigger problems behind a wall or above a ceiling. One reviewer of Ace Handyman Services described a four-and-a-half-hour estimate that held. Ask for a written estimate that says whether it is a flat price or hourly, and what happens if the job runs long.
