"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!"

"I had an urgent project. I got my new dining set and thought that the delivery people were ask going to set it up. I was wrong. It was all in boxes and too heavy for me to put together. I put the job out and Benjamin got back to me almost immediately. He came over quickly, was extremely professional and friendly. Good man. I will definitely consider him and his company for future home projects."

"Ryan was very professional from start to finish. He gave a fair estimate and completed the work a week after he gave the estimate. The project was too big for me to do myself, about 3 days of trim work on my house in Westerville. $3500 seemed like a more than fair price for everything he did. Iâ ll definitely be using him again going forward."

Last update on December 14, 2017
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.
