excellent! Love my tub. Bought one from their Chapin store and it was delivered and installed in just a couple of days. They also came out and took care of some issues with my pool and test my water when I bring it to them. Purchased a dolphin pool cleaner there and it's a lifesaver. Worth...
We trusted this company for several months with several maintenance issues. Overall, there was poor communication and several employees left us "hanging" on more than one occasion. We were disappointed and felt that we did NOT get our money's worth for service and maintenance. Since the pool...
The gunite pool was completed over the winter of 2010/2011. The concrete had spray deck and stain applied in May 2016. The pool is currently undergoing re-tiling and re-plastering because the tile was falling off and the plaster bubbled. The concrete stain bubbled within 2 weeks of a...
VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER. Miller pools sent only well-seasoned pool installers to our property. All had at least 18 years of experience in the pool installation industry. The owner was present at every interaction, at least in part. We have a 25,000 gallon in-ground pool. Miller Pools...
Overall, I would use Griffin Pools again because of their customer service and knowledge. I would ask more questions during installation though. We purchased a 34and quot; mountain pond pool. The process went very smoothly despite many delays for rain. We are very happy with the pool itself....

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.
