FAQ

Q: Why is the first hour more expensive than the other hours?
A: The first hour is higher to help offset transportation costs.

Q: Why is there a minimum one hour fee?
A: For most jobs, even small ones, one hour can go by quickly. Setting up seeing what needs done, and billing adds up. One hour goes by quickly. One suggestion would be to compile many small repairs into one trip.

Q: $45 dollars seems expensive to me. Why is your hourly rate so high?
A: Actually my hourly rates are quite low compared to others in the area. A market analysis shows fees ranging from $25 to $95 dollars an hour. In a handyman's line of work, as with most service technicians, not all is profit. We have a liability insurance transportation costs, tools, and a million little nuts and bolts we must keep stocked. After all our ability to carry most items needed helps us make more useful time of our day and gets us out of your home more quickly to free up your time and help reduce costs.

Q: Are you licensed and insured?
A: Yes I have a business license and carry 1 million in liability insurance. That information can be provided upon request.

Q: I am not comfortable with hourly rates. Can I get a bid for a job instead?
A: In some circumstances I will make a bid instead of just charging hourly. Usually these bids are for jobs that require a half day or longer to complete.

Q: Do you perform heating and air conditioning repairs?
A: No. I can recommend a good technician that does if needed.
