Why did half the jobs in The Colony cost over $1,000?
Five of the 10 jobs in The Colony cost $1,000 or more. Each one bundled several tasks, such as trim and siding repair, deck work or exterior painting.
Even some of the smaller jobs were lists. The $320 visit covered detector batteries, light bulbs and a sink drain adjustment. The $467 visit adjusted the height of a light and included laundry hookups and gate work.
The $855 shower job mixed tasks, too. It covered trim and wall edge repair, fresh caulk, paint matching and small floor-chip repairs. A caulk-only quote would cover much less. For caulking and sealing, point out loose trim or damage near the joint, and ask who handles the paint.
Which part of the deck did each price in The Colony cover?
The $4,690 deck job in The Colony replaced the boards and the railing around the edge. The $2,325 deck job replaced wood supports, hauled off old wood and stained and sealed the existing beams.
Those were two separate jobs. One replaced the surface you walk on and the railing. The other fixed what holds it up. So the gap between the prices is not the cost of an upgrade.
When you describe deck work, say whether the problem is on top or underneath. Send photos from above and below if you can get them safely. We still need to see the real condition before we price a repair.
What did the $12,990 job in The Colony include?
The largest job in The Colony, at $12,990, covered eight swing doors and seven bifold doors. It also included extensive wall trim and door casing, plus setup and cleanup.
That price belongs to a big multi-door project. If you divided it by the number of doors, you’d hide the cost of all that trim. For one door repair, it isn’t a close match. If you want several doors replaced, list each opening and say whether the casing stays.
What should you send for a quote in The Colony?
Send the whole list at once, because most jobs in The Colony combined several tasks.
- Every task, big or small. Even the $320 visit covered batteries, bulbs and a drain.
- Deck top or deck supports. The two deck jobs fixed different parts and should not be compared.
- Each door opening. The biggest job covered 15 doors plus wall trim and casing.
- Repairs before caulk. The shower job fixed trim and wall edges as well as the caulk.

Questions about The Colony handyman prices
About these prices
This guide uses 10 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 10 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 The Colony 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."
