- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It ranges from job to job, but simple jobs will usually run $120-500, Rates Unlike other handyman services, I am upfront about the cost. No searching around sites or sending emails. For your convenience it is posted right here. And I am the most competitive with regard to rate, experience, and quality. I have set prices for certain items (see pricing below). But as a general rule, I charge a flat rate of $60 per hour for all miscellaneous services (like Honey-do lists etc.) with a $120 MINIMUM. If the job takes me an hour because of my expertise, the minimum is still due. For example, It would be $60 per hour if I had to hang a door, replace a window, repair some wood, repair drywall and paint, & misc tasks because it would exceed the $120 min price and then it would go to $60 an hour. I hope that makes sense. If you combine services, it will reduce the overall price of your projects by up to 20%-25%. I do not charge for drive time or markup materials. I have found “time+materials” to be the fairest way to bill for my services. This promotes mutual respect and long-term loyalty in the working relationship. If you require a rush on your service and need me to start a project after normal business hours (after 5 on Saturday and Sunday) my after-hours rate is $85.00 per hour. To help give you an idea of potential costs, I have listed some general time estimates for your convenience. Please keep in mind these are meant to be ‘guesstimations’ not guarantees. There is also a list of my set prices for certain items. Feel free to contact me with any questions. 1-2 hours: change thermostat, fix leaky pipe, hang pictures 2-3 hours: hang shelves, repair drywall 3-4 hours: hang door, repair wood, replace window
