My name is Patsy Cicala Jr., I am the recipient of the Super Service Award for 2016 -2022 from Angie's List. BEST WAY TO GET IN TOUCH IS pcicala1@gmail.com, or call 302-245-5606. I retired here 11 years ago in Sussex County after a rewarding career in the field of Environmental Science and General Contracting in upstate New York. When you retire, you should have an exit plan.... I, however, am finding sitting down to read a book or taking a long stroll on the beach will result in either me being placed in a mental institution, or being shot by my wife (she says I am driving her crazy). Therefore, after renovating three homes in the area, I have decided to offer my services as a handyman. My wife says that I can do small repairs including bathrooms, kitchens, and small additions, porches and decks, Check out my Photo Gallery to see if I can fulfill your needs
"I was very pleased with Something Constructive. Patsy is a great guy, very personable, and you quickly feel like family. He is creative, has a keen eye, and is a great problem solver. He and his crew are great – so pleasant and respectful. I actually enjoyed seeing them each day! They work together well, are meticulous – the work quality is excellent, and they were very neat. My neighbors were very impressed with how nicely they maintained the area while working. Patsy and his crew stayed on schedule and he is really good at keeping you posted along the way. I highly recommend!!!"

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.
