Huh, i stand corrected, thanks! I think this brings both options to similar prices, so at the very least the spirit of the quote is true. Here’s my math:

- My handyman changes $50/hour, but if you find a new person maybe they charge $75-$100/hour

- materials are cheap, probably like $50 total for mud and drywall, or a repair kit

- with two hours labor, the total should be somewhere from $150-$250.

- if the handyman won’t accept a job less than 4 hours, the range is $250-$450.
