What did a pocket door installation cost in Richardson?
A new pocket door and frame cost $1,985 in Richardson. The door slides into the wall, so we opened the drywall, framed the pocket and closed the wall again with patching and texture.
The door and frame work came to $1,120. Drywall patching added $280, and the tape, bed and texture finish added another $280. Materials were $305. They covered the door, the frame and track kit, the pull and the drywall supplies.
Paint wasn’t listed. If you want the wall painted too, ask for it in the quote. When you ask about door repair or replacement, tell us if the door is new or already in the wall.
How much does it cost to hang heavy pictures in Richardson?
Hanging two heavy framed pictures on drywall cost $157 in Richardson. We laid out where each one would go, fitted hanging hardware for the weight and mounted both.
The labor was $140 and materials were $17. For art hanging, send the size and weight of each piece. Tell us what the wall is made of, too. These two pictures went on standard drywall.
Why is the Richardson median $535?
The Richardson median is $535 because it averages the two middle jobs, a $175 one-hour visit and an $895.54 visit at a business. Neither record lists its tasks, so $535 isn’t the price of any one repair.
The booking for the $175 visit mentioned hanging items, but the invoice shows only the hour. The $895.54 job was 3.23 hours on site at $150 an hour, which came to $484.50. Materials added $342.79 and sales tax added $68.25.
What should you send for an accurate Richardson quote?
List each task and tell us what sits inside or behind the wall. These details shaped the Richardson prices most:
- Work inside the wall. The $1,985 pocket door price included opening the wall and closing it again.
- The finish you want. That job included texture, but paint wasn’t listed.
- Size and weight of what you’re hanging. The $157 job hung two heavy framed pictures on drywall.
- A task list for hourly work. Two Richardson visits were billed by the hour with no tasks listed. A list lets you match the hours to the work.

Questions about Richardson handyman prices
About these prices
This guide uses four 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 four 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.
