"This was last minute, but Kevin with Crazy Buffalos accepted the job without hesitation. Not only did he show up and complete the job, but he was also gracious enough to not charge because the job was extremely minor (unknown to me) as I expected the job to be extremely tedious. I highly recommend Crazy Buffalos Handyman. I will definitely keep his number and call upon him in the future."

"Mike is wonderful. He came in, and gave us a very fair estimate for all of our plumbing needs and he even went as far as breaking down our estimate into individual jobs that we could readily afford throughout the year. We hired him to start work on our plumbing this week. It'll be so nice to have a house with great plumbing!"

"Ben was very thorough in his work and honest ,we enjoyed him and his help. We did a whole house remodel.They were on time and discussed every detail with us and shared his advise if he felt I might be making the wrong choice which was very helpful. The wood look tile floor was a huge job and he worked around us so we could stay here till last minute. It is beautiful the kitchen counter tops and backsplash and my shower he tiled are beautiful as well. We recommend him highly all his work is excellent. We highly recommend Ben and Kin remodeling for anything you need."

"Cameron was wonderful. He did have problems with putting in a new pull chain light in the closet. The wiring was old. So, it took much longer than anticipated. However, they only charged me for the estimated cost."

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.
