Ways to pay less
- Start with one room. Fixr lists $200 to $300 for a room, well below the $1,500 to $5,000 for a whole house.
- Do the sorting yourself first. Less time on the job means a lower hourly bill, since Fixr lists $50 to $150 per hour.
- Ask for a package. Fixr lists 3 hours at $400 to $500 and 15 hours at $1,750 to $2,250, so bigger blocks can cost less per hour.
