"Hired Modern House Construction to renovate a 1975 Mobile Home Total Spent $115,000 The dripping noise behind the wall in the bathroom pushed me to write this review. No one can tell where it’s coming from. ( Was told he’d come back if i noticed water marks) I feel as if I did not get my moneys worth from this project based on recent remodels and less money paid for projects in the same area. Asked for 5 things out of this whole project and it was not met - Expand first bedroom by an extra foot into the living room, bedroom is actually smaller now - Ceiling fan in kitchen to remain(removed) - Wrong color siding, given dark blue when it was supposed to be teal - New subfloors now floors are pushing up and sagging. - Awning to remain over door (removed) - Spent an estimated $6,000 in housing costs due to delays. - Bad Workmanship issues - Hole left below side of roof for weeks while rain water from the run off poured in. Was told it was ok but that’s not ok - Replaced a piece of skirting with heavy wood right where waterline comes in from the city. Keeps falling off which gives potential for pipes to freeze if not checked daily. Skirting was fine beforehand. - Some baseboard heaters and wood that goes along the bottom of the wall left out all summer repetitively rained on and sun dried - All new baseboard heaters were bought, stacked inside house, and i thought they were going to be put in. Later figured out they tested the ones out in the rain all summer and decided to put the ones that worked back in - Electrical outlet on neighbors side of house put in. Went through three replacements until i asked for it to be sealed up. Now floor on other side is pushing up. Told Udson nothing was done. - Cheapest shower and pan put in. Pan kept making cracking noises that echoed throughout the whole house. Needed repairs twice and still making a quiet cracking noise. - Light fixture removed from window above sink. Small hole for wiring left and not patched - Extremely poor communication with Udson who was on site - Improper siding installation (missing piece under back steps pieces forced in and now pushing out) - 05/27 job estimate given and approved for $99,438.21 05/30 goes and does drawing plans 06/05 official contract signed for job check given for 67,880.77 Between this time there were HOA delays due to wrongly worded letters 06/08-06/19 this long to figure out windows for permit 07/13 permits secured 07/17 was told demo was going to start this week 07/26 messaged udson no demo has started yet 07/28 demo stated to start tomorrow 07/29-07/30 demo complete 08/01 asked to have a colored siding, approved at no additional cost but was sent an estimate for more work for rear bedroom frame rot.

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.
