Personally, I have more than 30 years working in construction, the company Richmond's Home, legally started in October 2022, For us, it is very important to become one of your favorites for all the improvements of that place where you rest, share with your family and others, and for this we strive every day to improve the quality of them, using the best materials available, punctuality and professionalism. Definitely, the years are the best teaching we can have, we acquire maturity, experience, new learning, strategies, etc. For this reason our company adheres to these principles of learning, in Handyman's work we never know what we will find, for this reason our team prepares in the best way to attend to all these unexpected situations, our most frequent services, carpentry, electricity, plumbing, painting, cleaning, entry problems,air conditioning services, etc. we speak both English and Spanish.

"The two guys were terrific. Spot on time and in the right place. Cheerful, patient, helpful, & cooperative. They have enough English to get by. Not taking Venmo is crazy, and they should fix that. We used Zelle, which is less user-friendly. We would definitely hire them again."

"Hired him to repair crumbling grout at the steps to our entrance. He had forgotten a few spots and left before we could inspect the work. No big deal, he promised to return the next day. He didn't show up but was still paid due to miscommunication with another unit owner. He missed another appointment, and I have been unable to reach him since. He doesn't respond to texts and hasn't answered any of the 15 calls I made over the past two months."

"We hired Bob for the second time after having a very positive experience with him the first time around.

FAQs for handyman service projects in Boston, MA

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.
