"Hired him to repair crumbling grout at the steps to our entrance. He had forgotten a few spots and left before we could inspect the work. No big deal, he promised to return the next day. He didn't show up but was still paid due to miscommunication with another unit owner. He missed another appointment, and I have been unable to reach him since. He doesn't respond to texts and hasn't answered any of the 15 calls I made over the past two months."

Hi Everyone, I'm Ian and I'm launching Old Salt Handyman. I'm a licensed and insured Home Improvement Contractor performing repairs on existing one- to four-unit, residences on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I retired from the Coast Guard a few years ago and am excited to start my own small business leveraging the skills I honed during my 20+ years of service.

"I can't say enough good things about Ian the Old Salt Handyman! When I needed someone to tackle the quirks of my 100+ year old home, Ian was not only prompt and resourceful but also incredibly creative in his solutions. He addressed every issue with skill and efficiency, leaving me thoroughly impressed with the results. What I love most is that Ian is a part of our community. It's reassuring to know that if anything urgent pops up, I have a reliable local resource to turn to. His dedication to quality work and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. I highly recommend Ian for anyone looking for a dependable handyman who goes above and beyond!"

FAQs for handyman service projects in Boston, MA

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays. 

Tipping a handyman is not a requirement or necessarily expected, as they should build a fair wage into the price of the job. However, some people will tip a handyman around $10 to $20 per hour or the equivalent of a day’s pay, depending on the size of the job. But it’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping a handyman service, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip, it’s encouraged and will likely be received with thanks.

There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.

  • What kind of work do they do?

  • Do they have proper licensing?

  • Do they charge for estimates?

  • Is the estimate for both labor and materials?

  • Do they provide references?

  • Do you provide a guarantee?

  • When can you start and finish the job?

  • Do you have any before and after photos of your work?

  • How long have you been doing this kind of work?

  • Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?

Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
