Three of those jobs landed within $6.50 of each other. One hung art, one replaced drawer slides and one patched a wall. A close price did not mean the same job.

Why did three Arlington jobs cost almost the same?
In Arlington, hanging four pieces of art cost $292.50. New drawer slides cost $295.50, and a painted wall patch cost $299. The prices were close, but the work was not.
The art job included an oversized canvas and a heavier framed piece. The slide job put full-extension slides on one drawer. Most of each price was labor, plus fasteners or new slides.
The wall patch split another way. Patching and texture were $85 in labor. Paint touch-up was $170, with $44 in materials. Leave out the paint and you’re buying a different job. Ask for the finish you want on a drywall repair quote.
Does a broken drawer need new slides or a front repair?
Two Arlington drawer jobs needed different fixes. Reattaching and reinforcing a drawer front cost $241. Replacing the slides on one drawer cost $295.50. What broke decides which repair you need.
The $241 job kept the old front and pull. We reinforced the damaged spot where the front attaches, then put it back. That fix only works when the slides and cabinet box are still sound.
The $295.50 job put in new slides, then aligned and tested them. The $54.50 gap reflects two different repairs. When you ask about cabinet repair, tell us what moves or comes loose. A photo with the drawer pulled open shows more than a front view.
What pushed one Arlington job to $1,488?
The highest Arlington price, $1,488, covered three tasks in one visit. We installed a changing station, fixed a broken gutter connection and secured railing bases. Materials were part of the total.
A discount came off before the final total. Ten of the 14 Arlington jobs cost under $500, so this one stands apart. A quote for any one of those tasks would not cover the whole list.
What should you send for an accurate Arlington quote?
A few photos and your full list get you the closest price. These details moved the Arlington prices most:
- What actually broke. A drawer front repair and a slide swap were two jobs at two prices.
- The finish you want. Paint touch-up was the largest line on the $299 wall patch.
- The size of what you’re hanging. The art job included an oversized canvas and a heavier frame.
- Every task on your list. The $1,488 total was three tasks done in one visit.

Questions about Arlington handyman prices
About these prices
This guide uses 14 completed jobs from Smart Fix job and invoice records, pulled on October 20, 2026. Each price is the full job total from its invoices, including parts and tax we charged, after discounts and credits. A visit with several tasks counts as one job. We left out assessment-only visits and any job whose total did not match its invoices.
The median is the middle price once all 14 are sorted, so one large project cannot pull it up the way it pulls up the average. Dates use the day work started. Cities follow the job address. Customer details stay private. These are past prices for real jobs, not a quote.

What Arlington customers say
"I had a wonderful experience with PAUL on putting an electric fireplace together for me. The fireplace did not come with the holes in the right area, but PAUL was able to make it work and put it together beautifully. I highly recommend this company if you need a handyman."
