FAQ
Should I pay a handyman by the hour or per-project basis?
Personal preference is the most important factor. Some people prefer to pay an hourly rate so that they know how much their handyman costs. Some prefer to pay each project individually, especially if they are working on multiple jobs simultaneously. Either way is fine.
Where are handymen?
There are thousands, if not millions of handymen in America. However, most of them never started out as contractors. The majority of handymen started their careers as tradesmen and learned how to complete apprenticeships. This means that they are often highly skilled and have a lot of knowledge. They can be valuable assets to any company.
How often should I use a handyman for my job?
It depends on the nature of your project. One handyman might be enough to do a basic job like changing a bulb or fixing a leak. If there are many remodeling tasks involved, however, you might need several handymen.
How many hours is it typical to complete a DIY project of this nature?
On average, DIY projects take between 2 and 4 hours. The project's complexity and difficulty will impact the length.

How to replace a broken tile
Step 1 - Remove the old tiles.

Step 2 – Choose New Tiles
You can take a look at the different options for tile replacement.
-
Find a tile that is identical to the one you are removing.
-
To find the right piece, take the measurements you took as you were removing the tiles. This makes it easier to get the right size without having to measure again.

Be open to different colors, patterns or textures.
-
Consider what grout you prefer to use. Some people prefer solid color; others enjoy mixing it up.

You should ensure that the tile you choose is resistant to moisture.

After you've selected your tile, place your order online or at your local Lowe's shop.
Step 3 - Place the tiles.
You can install new tiles in the same way you did before. Make sure they are aligned correctly so that they fit together perfectly.
Step 4 - Clean Up
Be sure to vacuum up all crumbs and debris before applying the last layer.
This will prevent dirt or dust from collecting between the tiles and causing mold.
