I’m Chance O’Shel, owner of The Smart Fix Handyman. We serve Arlington. Three jobs in this sample cost about $295, yet each bought something quite different.
One involved hanging art. Another replaced drawer slides, and a third patched and painted a wall. Looking at the work behind the price is the best way to use these examples.
What did the jobs cost?
The median was $295.50. Seven of the nine jobs fell below $500, while the largest repair list reached $1,488. All nine remain in the price breakdown.
| Recorded job price | Jobs in this sample |
|---|---|
| Under $250 | 3 |
| $250 to under $500 | 4 |
| $500 to under $1,000 | 1 |
| $1,000 and up | 1 |
Smart Fix records: 9 jobs, April 23 to September 15, 2026. Prices cover whole jobs.
What can a price near $295 cover?
These examples show distinct work within the same city sample.
| Work recorded | Whole-job price |
|---|---|
| Reattach and reinforce an existing drawer front | $241 |
| Hang four pieces of art | $292.50 |
| Replace slides on one cabinet drawer | $295.50 |
| Wall hole patch, texture and paint touch-up | $299 |
| Changing station, gutter connection and railing-base work | $1,488 |
The four-piece art job, drawer-slide job and wall patch were only $6.50 apart. That does not make them equal-size tasks. Each had its own parts and finish needs.
For the $299 wall repair, patching and texture were $85 in labor. Paint touch-up was $170, with $44 in materials. Leaving out paint would change what you were buying. Ask for the finish you want on a drywall repair quote.
Does the drawer need new slides or just a front repair?
The $241 job kept the existing drawer front and pull. We reinforced the damaged attachment area and put them back. That scope assumed the drawer slides and cabinet box were still sound.
The $295.50 job replaced the slides on one drawer. It included aligning and testing the new slides. The $54.50 price gap reflects two different repairs. Which one fits your drawer depends on what is broken.
When you ask about cabinet repair, tell us what moves or comes loose. A photo with the drawer open can show more than a front view alone.
What pushed one job above $1,000?
The $1,488 total combined a changing-station install, a broken gutter connection and work to secure railing bases. It also included materials and a discount. A single-task quote would not cover that full list.
For work around the home or a business, send the full list before the visit. Let us know which items need new parts and which might be resecured. We’ll review the work as a whole.
