Affordable Home Repairs, Inc. 30 years carpentry experience. Self-employed doing home improvement work since July, 1992. Winfield resident, married, with 3 grown children. Specializing in all carpentry-related trim work, basements, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, door and window installation, drywall installation and other home improvement needs.
"Affordable Home Repairs-Sam Cannella Do not hire this contractor. His work is good but his personality is very unprofessional. He belittled me, made me feel stupid and incompetent, complained about everything, only worked 3-4 hours a day and overcharged. An example of his personality . His van leaks oil. He asked me to lay down cardboard in my driveway so his van did not leak oil on the driveway- which was thoughtful. However, one day I did not put the cardboard exactly right. He got of his van and hit his fist twice on the side of his van. It was not my responsibility as a customer to provide cardboard for the van. He should have brought the cardboard with him and put in the spot he wanted. He complained I did not have beverages on hand for him. Not my responsibility to provide beverage to contractors. Told me that he was using his tools to complete my projects. Every contractor I have hired has always provided their own tools. That is part of the job. Not sure why he even made the comment. He also told said and I quote Well knowing you, you do not care how things look. First of all that is not a comment you make to a customer. Second, I would not be trying to fixing up the house if I did not care how things looked. Sam is honest and supplied me with his tax number. He agreed to replace the ceiling fan he had installed (because it was wobbly) with a ceiling light. I told him I would pay for the light if he would install for free. When I l left a text message (because I wanted in writing) to state I had purchased the light and I wanted to confirm I was not going to be charged. Sam replied (actual statement) Why do you feel the need to remind me on things?? Do you think I just started yesterday? Being a single lady, I have used contractors for over 20 years and have never had a problem with one until Sam. My other contractors always treated me with respect; in fact, several of them have become friends. I am nervous about posting this review that Sam will vandalize the outside of my house. If I have any damage, he will be the first one I suspect."

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.
