Fair & Transparent Pricing
At Knight Group, we keep pricing simple, transparent, and fair. Unlike big franchise services that require a 2-hour minimum, we only charge for the time we spend on your job. That means smaller fixes cost less, and bigger jobs are still priced competitively.

Why We're More Affordable Than Our Competitors
Many national handyman franchises charge $120–$150 per hour with mandatory 2-hour minimums, meaning you pay $240–$300 even for a simple 45-minute job. Worse yet, they often add hidden fees that aren't disclosed upfront:
Common Hidden Fees from Competitors:
Service call fees: $50-$100 just to show up
Transportation charges: $25-$75 extra for travel
Materials markup: 20-50% above retail cost
Diagnostic fees: Additional cost even for simple assessments
Real Example: 45-Minute Outlet Installation
Knight Group: $150 total (no hidden fees)
Typical Competitor: $240 (2-hr min) + $75 service fee + $25 travel = $340+
At Knight Group, our pricing is 100% transparent. What we quote is what you pay—no surprise charges, no service fees, no travel costs. For larger jobs, our hourly rates ($75-$100) remain significantly lower than most competitors, and we never require minimums that inflate your bill.
Materials & Parts
You're only billed for the time spent — so if we need to run and pick up materials, it's included in the hourly rate. If you'd like to have all materials ready, we'll gladly work with what you provide.
Materials Markup: We charge a modest 10% markup on materials to cover purchasing, handling, and warranty responsibility. This is significantly lower than most competitors who charge 20-50% markup.
Payment Options
We accept multiple convenient payment methods:
Cards & Digital
- All major credit/debit cards
- Apple Pay, Google Pay
- Venmo, Cash App, PayPal
Other Options
- Cash
- Payment plans available
- No checks accepted
