"I wanted some planters hung on my deck in my RV. I had 2 new rocking chair from amazon, he decided to use his own screws and a power tool. he power tooled one of the rocker and it can't be used because it's broken. He took one of the power hose and plug it on the wrong place, it was plugged on the hole where the electricity was all connected. I needed him to hang a small shelf on my bathroom and I showed him a video on how to do it. He told he knows how to do it because he lived on an rv before as well. He actually ended up putting 4 holes on my rv because he doesn't know what he was doing. I was scared of him because I am 64 years old and especially with my hip. His attitude and demeanor made me afraid of him and his box cutter."

FAQs for handyman service projects in Tyler, TX

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.
