Handyman rates
Amount: $75.00 per hour
Posted by: Darwin in Southeast, MI.Posted: June 14th, 2011 07:06PM
$75 is the going rate in most large cities. With that being said, getting multiple projects completed will cost roughly $65 per hour. There is usually a charge for material pick-up also; however you can avoid this charge by shopping for materials and picking them up yourself. The best way to hire a service is to find one that offers flat-rates. You'll save money this way.

Amount: $65.00 per hour
Posted by: Mr.Independant handyman in Chicago area, IL.Posted: June 3rd, 2011 03:06PM
I am an independant handyman in Chicago.Il.I currently charge $65 per hr.There is no reason why independants should charge up to $60 less per hr. than the larger outfits because they need to pay for there ad's and van logos/painting.The local larger companies charge between $85 and $136 per hr. and mark up their on hand materials by 30% margin.These numbers are current and the same for this whole area,rural areas included.You "self help sites" need to get your facts straight !!!!!!

Free Estimate s
Amount: $35.00 per hour
Posted by: Ifixedit in Peoria, IL.Posted: March 21st, 2011 02:03PM
Free estimate s COST US MONEY ! So there's no such thing ...What i've done is give people a choice 35 dollars per hour plus material or I beat an written estimate by 10 % .. Time and material is the fairest way to charge everyone , How many times have you gotten an estimate and it ended up more than told ? want to save money , say you want a light fixture installed , purchase the light , call handyman set day and time clear area where light is to be installed , in most case's this should only take an hour 35 to 65 dollars ..... simple enough .......

Handyman
Amount: $30.00 per hour
Posted by: Happyhome in Freehold, NJ.Posted: August 2nd, 2010 08:08AM
There is nothing like a responsible handyman who is confident in his work. His deal is simple pay him 30 dollars per hr or what you think it is worth. Lets put it this way I always pay him more then 30 per hr. He will share his ideas, asks specifics as to what I expect and looking for in a job. He is neet,timely, clean and respectful. He alwys tells me he will work on my home like it is his own, He always presents me options along the way. He says he does it for the exersise instead of joining a gym.
This guy is definately customer orientated!

We have tried many different handymen and this guy is by far the best one. He is a nice guy, pays special attention to detail and is very reasonable in his prices. We have a few rental properties that he has worked on for us along with our own home, and we are very pleased with his work. I highly recommend M.T's Handyman Service.

I am not sure of the hourly wage cause they charged by the job they tore out my old bathroom and put in a new one. They're work was exceptional and they were very respectful of our home the entire bathroom cost me $2800, which was a bargain because the next lowest quote was $3900. I would recommend them to anyone and I have been telling everyone.

Comforts of Home. Pulaski, VA
Amount: $45.00 per hour
Posted by: Linda Smith in Pulaski, VA.Posted: July 11th, 2009 04:07PM
We used the above service to install a new waterheater, install a shut off valve, install a dehumidifier, replace faucets in the batahroom and a few smaller jobs. This guy is great. He works alone and is a true perfectionist. We paid a total bill but it averaged about $38 an hour plus "trip fees" that he only charge mileage for. We ar so happy and have never found anyone in this area that is this reliable. He even had to make a weekend call on the water heater and did not charge extra-the plumer said it would be $65 an hour from the time he left his shop to return to the shop and two hour min. We had it all done for less that we would have paid for just the water heater installation. P.S. I found out this is the same man that the lady wrote about but the post said he charged $700 PER HOUR-it was $700 for the entire job.

Bath and Kitchen Floors
Amount: $700.00 per hour
Posted by: Betty Dyson in Pulaski, VA.Posted: April 21st, 2009 11:04PM
We hired a man in Pulaski, VA to replace the tile in three bathrooms and our kitchen. The baths were stick down tile and the kitchen was laminate.
He had to take up old flooring in all three baths and even removed the dishwasherm frige and stove in the kitchen. The work is craftsman quality and I am sure anyone else would have been 2-3 times more. We go to the same church and think maybe he gave us an exceptional break. I have never seen anyone do more professional work than he has done.

Hire this guy he is the best.
