Average costs
For electrical problems, expect to pay $26.87 and hour. Floor repairs will average out to be about $1.90 per square foot. Painting will run around $26 an hour. Leak repairs for your roof will likely run you about $40 an hour. General labor averages $20 an hour. Window installation will cost anywhere from $250-$990 an hour depending on the type of window.
Tips
If you have multiple home repair projects that need to be completed, make a list, as it might be cheaper to have them all completed at once. Larger repair jobs usually require you to hire a licensed contractor in most states. For smaller, minor jobs, a local handyman may cost less.
