What do most handymen charge per hour?

Average Handyman Hourly Rates

    Across the United States, the average hourly rate for a handyman ranges between $65 and $130 per hour. However, these rates can vary based on location, the complexity of the task, and the handyman’s level of experience.

• Basic Repairs: For simple tasks like fixing a leaky faucet or patching small holes in drywall, you can expect to pay on the lower end of the range.

• Specialized Work: More complex jobs, such as electrical or plumbing repairs, may cost closer to $100 per hour or more.

Factors That Influence Handyman Costs

1. Location: Handyman rates often reflect the cost of living in your area. For instance, cities like Los Angeles or New York typically have higher rates than smaller towns.

2. Experience and Expertise: A seasoned handyman with specialized skills may charge more than someone who is new to the field.

3. Type of Work: Routine home repair jobs usually cost less than specialized tasks, such as HVAC repairs or custom carpentry.

4. Job Duration: Some handymen offer discounts for longer jobs, while others charge by the hour or per project.

• Hourly Rate: For most home repair and handyman services, we charge $120 per hour. This rate reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality workmanship.

• Per-Job Minimum: For larger projects, we have a minimum charge of $200 per job. This ensures that we can deliver exceptional results, regardless of the project’s complexity.

How to Get the Best Value from Your Handyman

1. Define the Scope: Be clear about what you need done. The more details you provide, the more accurate the estimate.

2. Combine Tasks: Bundling multiple small jobs into one visit can save time and money.

3. Buy Materials: Consider buying the materials before your Handyman gets to the job site. Therefore, avoiding any material markups ranging from 20% – 50% or a trip charge of $50 – $100

4. Check Credentials: Ensure your handyman is licensed, insured, and experienced in the tasks you need.

5. Pay When the Job is Done: Never pay the full amount of an estimate before the job has been completed.
