274 I had my pool sandblasted to remove paint, re plastered, and new tile installed. Gaston Pools basically supplied materials and contracted all labor to another pool company. Ben from Gaston Pools did usually drop by for a few minutes each day to check progress. The initial quality was fair at...
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...

He repaired my shutters, bench/chairs to my table. Mr Smith was very professional, polite and friendly and I would recommend him to others.
Mr. King arrived at my house on time and took an appropriate amount of time studying my dining room table. He made several suggestions about the refinishing process and was clear about what results the process would have. He finished it in the time he had estimated. He also repaired the table...
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.
