I posted a new project earlier this morning and wondering how long does it normally take to get responses? How do I see the responses, in my Handyman.com inbox?

    Typically, you can expect to receive responses to your project posting within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the demand for services in your area. Some homeowners report getting quick replies, while others may take a bit longer, especially if your project is niche or requires specialized skills.

    To see the responses, you should check your Handyman.com inbox. There, you'll find messages from local professionals who are interested in your project. If you don't see any responses after a couple of days, consider refreshing your project details or adjusting your budget and scope to attract more interest.

    If you’re looking for specific trades, like electrical or plumbing work, it's advisable to hire licensed professionals due to safety and compliance concerns. Typical costs for handyman services can range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on your location and the complexity of the job.

    As a next step, make sure to check your inbox and consider getting 2-3 quotes from local pros on Handyman.com to compare services and pricing.
