The easiest way to keep handyperson costs down is to buy your own tools and learn to handle basic repairs yourself. In the event you aren’t comfortable DIY-ing a project, you can keep handyperson jobs down by: Clearing out furniture and other obstacles to make the job easier and take less time Combining multiple small jobs if you can and asking for a discount for bundling the tasks Building rapport with a specific handyperson who may give you a loyalty discount Asking about discounts for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities
