66 Just a fantastic experience starting with a very thorough site survey that included a detailed explanation of the work to be done, time table and pricing. The price quoted for both long and over sized sidewalks was outstanding. The quality of their work is reflected in the finished product!...
By far - and without exception the worst experience I've ever had with a company in the history of my family. Tom Chambers (the owner) lures his customers in with assurances that the project will run smoothly, and on time, as he is taking your money and getting his contracts signed. Once the...
Mr. Krommel, owner and operator of MK Construction, may be the hardest working man I have ever met. He arrived early with his crew and machinery. He is extremely personable and strives to give you exactly what you want, even if you're not quite sure what it is. He personally designed our...

"We hired Robert May to clean up and remodel a property we purchased at auction. He began work on or about June 5, 2020. The plan was to spruce up the house enough to attract a tenant. We do these projects all over the country and can generally turn a property around in 4 - 16 weeks at the most, if truly in need of major rehab. By January 2021, we began seriously questioning Robert. Why was this project taking so long? We could have built an entire house in seven months! Robert promised that he would be finished by Valentines Day. February 14, 2021 passed long ago. There was still work being done in March. Finally, after spending roughly $90,000 on a project to fix up a house that cost us approximately $18,500 to purchase initially, we realized that we were way over budget and needed to recoup some costs quickly. Roberts wife aggressively pitched herself as a realtor who could get the house SOLD and moreover that the house would sell quickly as it was in fantastic shape and she would personally push Robert to get the house finished so she could get it sold. The home was listed for sale April 6 and went under contract June 2. Although the transaction was scheduled to close July 2, it is now July 9 and the deal is still not closed. Due to numerous defects in the workmanship provided by Robert May, we had to credit Buyer $7,500. Then, at the last minute, Robert May and his wife Karen Reese May have snuck in a bill for $4,500 for additional work. This is after paying Robert more than $80,000 for his inferior work! Robert has not apologized for the defects, refuses to talk to me, and has made no effort to make amends for the failures. Worse yet, we are losing $7,500 on the transaction as a result of the poor workmanship which Robert should be responsible for, but instead Robert is billing an additional $4,500! The Buyer s attorney will not close and we think it is unfair for Robert to make us pay him even more after he cost us so much. So disappointing on top of that that Roberts wife is now breaching her fiduciary duty to represent her clients and rather is advocating only for herself. It appears that Robert May is not licensed, but Karen Reese May should clearly lose her license for such a breach of her fiduciary duty to her client. Should you have any questions about Robert May, feel free to contact me."

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.
