Estimates for home repairs will vary depending on the size and condition of your home and the company you choose for repairs.
General home repairs
Home repairs include projects such as window installation, roof repairs, painting, floor repair, plumbing and electrical work. Prices will also vary by region.
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.
