"He was supposed to start on November 9 called off and did show up on November 10 to install the thermostat that I provided. He worked on it for couple hours and then told me that the thermostat was faulty. He told me to return it and he would buy one and return the next day. After he left, I noticed one of the prongs were bent and I straightened it out and the thermostat worked and the heater kicked on. He still maintained that it was faulty, so I did return it and he came back with one exactly like it the next day. I reimbursed him for that. Again, he worked on it for a couple hours and the same issue that we’ve had from the beginning of the fan not turning off remained. He told me that there is no way it’s wired wrong so it has to be in the unit asked for payment which I gave him $125 in cash. I might add that he used my tools which I found quite odd. I ended up having to call out another contractor because he told me it had to be the unit. Cliffs informed me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the unit and he even referred to it as “Cherry“ He checked everything out and then asked me about the thermostat and I said it was brand new and installed through Angi. He took the cover off and in a split second said I see exactly what the problem is. It’s c wired wrong. (THIS WOULD MEAN THL WIRED IT WRONG TWICE) He pointed out the green wire should not be connected at all. That is what is making the fan run continuously. He disconnected the wire and it worked perfectly. This cost me $218.00 for the service call/tune up."

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.
