"'My Services NJ' renovated my elderly family member's bathroom and left it where the shower no longer drains properly. Told my family member they needed to pay more for the drain to be repaired. Edge of tiles were not properly done, looks like a diy project. Service people offer extra services that were not requested to take advantage of older clients. Very shabby work with tile not set for proper drainage. My Services NJ is unwilling to properly level shower so it will drain unless my relative pays more. My Services NJ told my relative they are using too much water and that is why shower doesn't drain properly. It is tragic this company took advantage of senior members of our community like this. $18K for a shower that doesn't drain properly. In stead of repairing their error the offer my relative a squeegee to push water to the drain."

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!

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.
