How handyman work works on doBid in Katy

Pros bid the job after seeing your photos, payment sits in escrow, and you release it once the work's done.

Handyman Services FAQs
What can a handyman do — and not do — on doBid?
doBid handymen handle non-license-required tasks: assembly, mounting, patching, repairs, installs that don't involve hard-wiring electrical or modifying plumbing. They cannot bid on or perform electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, gas, or structural work — those are licensed trades and are not accepted on the platform.
How much do handyman jobs cost?
Small single-task jobs (TV mount, furniture assembly, picture hanging) typically bid $75–$200. Hourly or multi-task half-day visits usually land $200–$500 depending on the work. doBid bids are job-specific, not blanket hourly rates.
Can a handyman install a ceiling fan or light fixture?
Swapping a fixture in an existing electrical box is generally fine if the wiring is already in place. Anything that involves new electrical runs, adding circuits, or modifying breakers is a licensed-electrician job and isn't accepted on doBid.
Do I need to supply the materials?
Most handyman pros prefer the homeowner to supply materials (the new ceiling fan, the new shelf, the patch kit) so the bid is purely for labor. If you'd rather the pro buy materials and bill them, say so in your post.
