It depends on the nature of your project. For instance, if you need a simple fix-it job done, such as installing a light bulb, then you might only need to call one handyman per week. But, if you have a lot to remodel, you may need multiple handymen.

How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical outlet. This includes ensuring that your wiring is properly installed, as well as avoiding any problems related to water damage and fire hazards.
As far as installation goes, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming from the breaker panel. The two black wires run through the box to the first screw on one side, while the red and white wires go to the second screw on the opposite side of the box. When connecting wires, it is important that you don't use wire nuts or wrap around screws. You will have difficulty getting the wires to stay put after they are tightened. They should be loose enough for them to move but not too tight that they pull out of their holes.
You might want to add a receptacle to an existing box. To accomplish this task, you need to cut off the top of the existing metal box and add a new cover plate. Once the hole has been made for the new device and the cover plate has been attached, it's time to attach all wires.
It is possible to replace existing light switches in your house with modern ones without the need for a licensed electrician. First, remove the switch from its mount. Then you should take the time to disconnect all the wires connected to the switch. These wires can be used to power the switch or supply electricity to the light fixtures in the room. Once you have disconnected all of it, you can begin the replacement process.
After removing the old switch, you'll need to measure the distance between the wall studs and mark them with a permanent marker. Once you've done this, you need to decide if the switch should be placed high above or low to the floor. Depending on the height at which the switch will be mounted, you will either need to drill a hole for the mounting bracket or attach the switch directly to the wall using drywall anchors.
After you have taken measurements and marked the locations, you can begin the project. With the help of a family member or friend, you can begin to remove the drywall around where the switch will be placed. To ensure that the cable is not accidentally cut inside the wall, you should leave about 8 inches space between each stud. The next step is to mount the switch using the appropriate mounting brackets. After attaching the cables to the switch, you will need to secure it to the mounting plates. Once the switch has been installed correctly, you will need turn the power off and test it.
