When you need help with home projects ranging from bathtub replacements to drywall repair, choosing professional handyman services ensures a high-quality job to keep your home in top shape. The first question most homeowners ask is, how much will it cost?
Many cost estimates are vague, making the process all the more daunting. The Odd Jobs division of Odd Fellows Contracting keeps our pricing transparent and simple, so you can feel confident in the affordability of your project before you commit. We started out as a couple of fellows doing "odd jobs," and have been remodeling homes and completing home repairs in the Greater Lansing Area since 1988.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lansing Handyman?
As with any home improvement project, the cost of our handyman services can vary depending on your needs, but averages around $4,300. Our process starts with a phone call to get initial details about your project. We then gather more information about the scope of work, potential materials that might be needed, and your timeline to provide you with the most accurate estimate.
In some cases, we can give you a budget estimate over the phone. In most cases, we will visit your home and provide a fixed-price estimate, so you won’t have to worry about surprise cost increases mid-project.
In most homes, everyone bathes at least once a day, making shower and tub replacements popular projects for Lansing homeowners. The cost of these projects depends on the size and desired materials to refinish your tub or shower, and typically ranges anywhere from $8,500 to $26,000. Here’s a more detailed cost breakdown:
-
Acrylic shower or tub replacement: $8,500 - $12,500
-
Solid surface shower or tub replacement: $13,500 - $17,000
-
Tile shower replacement: $16,000 - $26,000
Our mid-range handyman services range from $2,000 to $6,000 and can include a variety of interior carpentry and home repair services tailored to your space and needs, such as:

Can Handyman Services Be Bundled Together?
Sometimes life gets busy, and projects pile up. We get it! If you have multiple repairs around your home that are similar, or if a certain room needs extra attention, we can bundle services together, giving you one estimate for all your needs. Bundled services can include:
-
Bathroom repairs: If you need a new toilet and tub installed, we can do both!
-
Drywall repairs: We can patch and paint your walls wherever they need a facelift, even in multiple rooms.
-
Cabinets: While we install extra cabinets in your kitchen, we can also repair any existing doors or drawers.
-
Installation: We can install multiple doors and windows, and while we're at it, we'll set up that new TV mount you're not sure how to install yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What factors determine handyman service cost?
The main factors that influence the cost of your project are the scope of work, materials needed, timeline, and condition of the area of your home. For example, if the area that needs to be repaired has been declining over time or has been repaired incorrectly in the past, the work will be more extensive, which will increase the cost. High-end materials come with a higher price tag, and if you're working on a tight timeline, we might need to send extra technicians to make sure the job is finished in time.
On the other hand, if you aren't in a rush, you're happy with more basic materials, and the repair work is minimal, you'll pay much less for your handyman services.
