Gutter cleaning: what goes into itThis is a typical range, not a quote. Your price depends on your house, the job and whether it is priced by the hour or by the job, and the sections below explain what moves it. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more. Where a job has no range, it's because we only show a price once enough Georgia businesses publish one.
Gutter cleaning
Gutter cleaning clears leaves, twigs and grit out of the gutters and checks that the downspouts drain. The range, priced as one job, is in the short answer above.
The range for this job is in the short answer above.
What moves the price
- Height of the house
- A taller house, or one on a slope, needs longer ladders and more care, and usually costs more than a ranch house.
- Length of gutter
- More gutter means more to clear, so a larger house or one with gutters on every side costs more.
- How clogged they are
- Gutters packed with wet leaves or growing plants take longer than a light cleaning on a schedule.
- Downspouts
- Flushing clogged downspouts, or taking one apart to clear it, can be priced on top.
- Roof pitch and access
- A steep roof, or shrubs and fences under the gutters, makes setting ladders harder and can raise the price.
- Guards already installed
- Cleaning gutters that have guards can mean removing and resetting them, which some companies price higher.
Handyman hourly rates
Many handymen charge by the hour for small or mixed jobs, often with a minimum charge for any visit. There is no Georgia range for handyman hourly rates yet.

What moves the price
- Minimum visit charge
- A minimum means a quick fix can cost as much as a job that fills the minimum time.
- Materials on top
- Hourly rates usually cover labor only, and parts and supplies are billed on top, sometimes with a markup.
- Skill and tools
- Tile, trim carpentry and other skilled work may be billed at a higher rate than general fixes.
- Grouping small jobs
- A list of small jobs done in one visit spreads the minimum and the trip across all of them, so each one costs less.
Interior door installation
Installing an interior door can mean hanging a new door slab in the existing frame or setting a prehung door, frame and all. There is no Georgia range for interior door installation yet.
No Georgia range for this job yet. Here is what moves the price. Get a quote
What moves the price
- Slab or prehung
- A prehung door replaces the old frame too, which adds removal and trim work, so it usually costs more in labor. A slab hung in the old frame skips that but takes careful trimming and hinge cutting.
- Door style
- Solid-core, French, pocket and bifold doors take more work or more hardware than a hollow-core panel door, and cost more to install.
- Trim and paint
- New casing, and painting the door and trim, are often priced on top of the install.
- Out-of-square openings
- In an older house, walls that have shifted can call for shimming and adjusting, which takes longer.
- Knobs and hinges
- Hardware may be in the quote or extra, and a new style that needs a different hole bored in the door adds work.
Exterior door installation
An exterior door replacement swaps an entry, back or side door, usually with a prehung unit that has to be sealed against the weather. There is no Georgia range for exterior door installation yet.

What moves the price
- Door material
- Steel, fiberglass and wood doors are priced differently, and glass panels or sidelights raise the price.
- Same size or new opening
- A door that matches the old opening goes in faster than one that needs the opening changed, which can mean new framing. Ask whether that would need a permit.
- Rot under the threshold
- Water damage under the old sill is often found only when the door comes out, and repairing it adds to the bill.
- Locks and handles
- Deadbolts, keypad locks and handle sets may be priced separately from the door.
- Storm door
- Adding a storm door is usually a separate line on the quote.
Drywall repair
Drywall repair runs from filling nail holes to cutting out and replacing a damaged section of a wall or ceiling. There is no Georgia range for drywall repair yet.
No Georgia range for this job yet. Here is what moves the price. Get a quote
What moves the price
- Size of the damage
- A small hole can be patched, while a large hole or a water-damaged area means replacing a piece of the sheet, which costs more.
- Matching the texture
- Smooth walls are easier to blend than knockdown or orange peel texture, and matching a texture takes more time.
- Ceiling or wall
- Ceiling repairs take more setup and overhead work than a wall patch.
- Paint to blend
- Many repairs need primer and paint to disappear, and some quotes leave the painting out.
- Drying between coats
- Joint compound goes on in coats with drying time between them, so a repair can take more than one visit and add a trip charge.
- Cause of the damage
- If a leak caused it, the leak needs fixing first, often by a plumber or a roofer, before the patch is worth doing.
Gutter guard installation
Gutter guards are screens, mesh or covers set over the gutters to keep leaves out while letting water in. There is no Georgia range for gutter guard installation yet.
No Georgia range for this job yet. Here is what moves the price. Get a quote
What moves the price
- Type of guard
- Snap-in screens usually cost less than micro-mesh or solid covers, which take more work to install.
- Feet of gutter
- Guards are often priced by the foot, so the price rises with every run of gutter.
- Cleaning first
- The gutters have to be cleaned before guards go on, and some quotes add that as a separate charge.
- Gutter condition
- Sagging gutters or loose hangers may need repair before guards can go on, which adds to the price.
- Under the shingles
- Some guards slide under the bottom row of shingles. Ask whether that affects the roof's warranty.
Furniture assembly
Furniture assembly puts together flat-pack furniture, beds, desks, cribs, shelving and outdoor sets from the box. There is no Georgia range for furniture assembly yet.

What moves the price
- Size of the piece
- A wardrobe or a bunk bed with many parts takes far longer than a nightstand, so it costs more.
- Anchoring to the wall
- Tall dressers and bookcases are often anchored to the wall, which adds a step.
- Boxes and cardboard
- Carrying heavy boxes upstairs and hauling away the packaging may be extra.
- Per piece or by the hour
- A price per piece is easier to compare, while an hourly rate can come in lower or higher depending on how long the piece takes.
TV mounting
TV mounting hangs a television on the wall on a bracket and often hides the cables. Running power or adding an outlet behind the TV is electrical work, priced by an electrician. There is no Georgia range for TV mounting yet.
No Georgia range for this job yet. Here is what moves the price. Get a quote
What moves the price
- Size of the TV
- A larger, heavier screen needs a sturdier mount and often more than one person to lift it.
- Wall type
- Drywall over wood studs is the simple case. Brick, stone or plaster takes special anchors and more time, so it costs more.
- Mount type
- A fixed mount usually costs less to hang than a tilting or full-motion arm.
- Hiding the cables
- Running cables inside the wall, or covering them with a cord cover, is usually priced on top.
- Over a fireplace
- Mounting above a fireplace often means masonry and a taller ladder, and can cost more.
What a good handyman quote should list
Handyman quotes are often short, and two of them can cover different work. Ask each one to put these in writing:
- Whether the price is by the hour or for the whole job, and any minimum or trip charge
- Which materials are included and which are billed on top
- For gutter cleaning, whether the downspouts are flushed and the debris hauled away
- For doors, whether trim, hardware and painting are part of the price
- For drywall, whether texture matching and painting are included
- What happens to the price if the job turns up hidden damage, such as rot or a leak
- Whether the handyman carries insurance, and whether a license is needed for this job where you live
Where these numbers come from
We collect these prices with our own crawler, which reads the public websites of Georgia handyman businesses and follows each site's robots.txt rules. It has read 177 of their websites so far. Each range is the middle half of the prices and cost guides those businesses publish, collected November 2026. A price list is what a business says it charges; a cost guide is a business's own estimate of what the job usually runs in Georgia. We check every figure against the page it came from, leave out national averages and prices from other states, and count a business only once, even if it has several websites. We never name the businesses behind a range. This page is written and published by Georgia SEO Company.
