Why Toronto handyman rates vary by task complexity

Simple tasks like furniture assembly or TV mounting sit at the lower end of the range, while specialized work like drywall repair or basic plumbing/electrical fixes runs higher, often $100-$162/hr, since it blurs into licensed-trade territory. Most Toronto handymen charge a minimum 1-2 hour service fee even for very quick jobs.
Local note: For anything involving water lines, gas, or electrical panels, Ontario law requires a licensed plumber or electrician rather than a general handyman — a reputable handyman will tell you when a job needs to be referred out.
