Handyman in Riyadh

Curtains to hang, a shelf, a squeaky door and a list of small jobs? Here are rough prices, and how to get everything done in one visit.

How much does a handyman cost in Riyadh?

Rough prices. Most handymen charge per job or per visit; the price goes up if they need to drill concrete or supply parts.

ServiceRough price
Fitting a curtain (per curtain)SAR 100 – 300
Assembling furniture or shelves (by amount)SAR 200 – 1,200
A visit for several small jobsPrice by agreement

💡 Put all your small jobs on one list and send it with photos before the visit. Far cheaper than calling someone out for each job.

🔩 Lots of curtains or shelves? Ask for a quantity discount. Many handymen drop the price a lot for several jobs in one home.

Jobs a handyman does

Curtains and rails

It needs accurate, level drilling. The handyman brings screws and plugs to suit your wall.

Shelves, pictures and mirrors

What matters is fixings that suit the weight and the wall type (block or gypsum board).

A door that squeaks or won't close

Usually loose hinges or it needs oiling. Usually quick.

Changing bulbs or simple sockets

Simple work is fine. Anything bigger in electrics is better left to an electrician.

Small plumbing jobs

Changing a mixer tap, shower head or flush. Leave bigger leaks to a plumber.

Filling holes and touch-up paint

Filling old screw holes and a touch of paint afterwards.

Before you agree with any handyman

  1. A list with photos

    Send every job with photos and measurements before they come, so they bring the right tools and parts.

  2. Per job or per hour?

    Agree how you'll be charged at the start, and get the price on WhatsApp.

  3. Who supplies parts?

    Screws, plugs and parts: you or them? At what price?

  4. Limits

    Ask what they can do and what needs a specialist (electrician or plumber), so nothing is done wrong.

  5. Cleaning up

    Will they clean the dust and take away the mess when they finish?

  6. Reviews

    Look for genuine reviews or ask someone who has used them.

Tips to get the most from the visit

Collect the jobs

Keep a list on your phone, and add every small thing that breaks.

Clear the space

Move furniture and things out of the way before they come; it goes faster.

Keep a few tools

A screwdriver, a tape measure and some tape. You can do plenty of small jobs yourself.

Don't put off small jobs

A loose door or a dripping tap: fix it early, before it grows.
