Mt. Tabor Construction offers general contracting services including all phases of remodel projects-kitchen, bath, basement, attic, plus, electrical, plumbing, fencing, gates, decks, painting-interior/exterior, drywall and plaster, landscaping, as well as home repair/handyman services.

"I live just down the street from Rob and I had a simple task I asked completed of caulking in the shower. Whether his work was faulty or the product was faulty I don't know, but three times it didn't work. I try not to make assumptions about people. All our conversations have been via text, so I have a full written accounting of what happened. After the last time did not work, he offered to redo it once more or provide a refund and I immediately replied back that I would accept the refund and wish him well. He was going through some family health issues so I didn't press it and I waited to hear from him. Instead of honoring my wish to move forward with the refund he offered, in writing, and I accepted in writing, he tried to schedule a time to redo it. He then says he didn't mean to offer a refund and he refuses to honor it now. He told me I should just file a complaint and "try to ruin his reputation". Just another reason why it's best not to involve neighbors in professional endeavors. I'm sad it turned out this way."

Residential remodel/repair and handyman service. Interior and exterior work. Basement remodel are our specialty. Work both by quote or hourly. 100% referral, word of mouth

"Jim with Evolution Home Improvement performed a wide variety of jobs for us this fall as we prepared for a renter in our basement. He cut and later patched ceiling drywall as part of an electrical project, covered earthquake strapping with soffits, installed stair railings, built a section of cedar fencing, installed a gate in our backyard, and coordinated to have a section of linoleum installed in the entryway of our rental space. (I may have missed something there, but you get the idea; he's a jack of all trades, and quite skilled.) Jim and his employee were consistently friendly and responsive, and they did quality work across a wide range of jobs. The stair railings were partially to help my children navigate the stairs, and he was thoughtful about building them to the right height and even let my 5 year old 'help' him measure and observe for a little while. He was flexible and understanding with regards to the children's presence, which was very much appreciated. The cedar fence he built is beautiful and sturdy, and he selected a lovely gate with a very sturdy latch for keeping the gate closed while my kids are out back. The ceiling patches and soffits were precisely installed, and he made the soffits as small as possible so as to minimize their impact on the room. On his last day working, I asked him if he could help me to secure our electric fireplace, and he added it to that day's list of tasks with no problem, even though it was not in our original contract. My only concern was that there was a communication issue between Jim, myself and the flooring guy he got to install the linoleum. The flooring was installed beautifully the first time, but it was the wrong size/shape. Jim came by immediately when I let him know, he was apologetic and took responsibility for the error, and he assured us that we'd get it fixed asap. However, when his flooring guy came back to redo the job, he spoke very harshly and rudely to both myself and my mother, who was visiting. The error was not mine, but the man blamed me. Jim eventually intervened, and the job was redone, though not with the same careful attention to detail as the first time. The moral of the story is that I would highly recommend Jim and Evolution Home Improvement for odd jobs around the house, with the possible exception of the installation of flooring. Overall, the work Jim did was of high quality, and went a long way toward making my life with kids at home easier and safer."

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.

Handymen/contractors will charge anywhere from $50 to $175 per hour. The hourly rate is based upon their experience level, overhead costs, and the cost of living in that specific area. Many handymen/contractors will charge by the job.

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.

A tip is not necessary. If you feel that a handyman did a great job for you, the best thing you can do for them is boost their reputation by leaving reviews on as many sites as possible and spreading by word of mouth how good they are. A tip is temporary but a reputation creates a business!

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?

Is your company bonded and insured?

What is your warranty on service and materials?

Do you provide phone and/or on-site estimates?

Do you accept credit cards as form of payment?

Does your company offer financing for bigger projects?

Do you offer discounts for senior citizens/military (if applicable)?

Where can I see client reviews and samples of work?

Do you have any certifications or awards?

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.

Being certified and/or licensed typically provides the customer with a level of comfort when hiring a handyman, but is not always a guarantee of quality work. Ask the handyman to explain what his or her process to complete your project is, and if you hire this person, check on the work, ask questions, make suggestions. After all, it's your project, your money, and you deserve quality work.
