"Absolutely horrendous. First meeting with contractor he was late. Assessed job, emailed quote. I immediately knew it was to low so the worker assessed job, talked with owner and new quote recieved for what I thought was needed. Owner even came to take pics. So 3 visits in person to discuss job. The first day they showed up the workers said they couldn't do it for the amount they were getting paid. Not my problem. In the end, the contractor has made excuses and promises, texts and emails saved if anyone interested, only to try and blame my wife for sending away crew, tried to state that the truss must have broken 2 days before the contractor came out changing the job, excuses galore. Additionally he stated that he was not able to come to the site to talk to his crew because he was in meetings all day, however he forgot that he had told me during his first meeting that he had to set up a booth for his wife somewhere for a show this very same weekend. Just prior to this I had also contracted a major driveway renovation and electric upgrade. Both very extensive projects and interactions with many contractors. In the end I requested a refund, get lots of excuses however the rest will not be paid and I am going to file a small claims case. In light of some information garnered in this process I will probably refrain form utilizing these sites for hone repairs."

We work with you to identify your home improvement or repair goal and then provide you options that will keep your budget in line. We can help you with your project from design to done. We bring old world craftsmanship to every project. We make you our priority, keeping you informed and updated throughout your project. Our owner, Travis Lloyd Smith, has been learning the craft of good design and doing quality work his entire life. Owning an early 1900's home for the past ten years, Travis has enjoyed doing his own home improvements. Taking his passion for high quality craftsmanship and home improvements Travis serves Des Moines area homeowners as well as commercial property construction projects.

"Very disappointed with our deck remodel. Travis and his team gave a competitively priced quote but the final product was abysmally poor. Lots of hacks and poor fit and finish. Travis left and had subs finish our job resulting in very poor quality. Furthermore during demolition the team broke threw our walls and have caused leaks from our deck. Would strongly advise against hiring this company. No other services were offered to complete the job. The owner made multiple commitments that were not honored to come and fix the issues present. I even offered to pay for new materials. None of the issues pictured or discussed are due to "Rejected Suggestions to save on cost". The owner told me that demo took longer than expected and thus the project went way over budget. Yes, this is a deck from two seasons ago. I've waited to share this and give the owner plenty of opportunities to fix this issue. "Our hope is that this will prevent such quality issues moving forward" is a great sentiment, however these quality issues were easily remediable at time of completion and the multiple opportunities offered since."

FAQs for handyman service projects in Des Moines, IA

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.
