how much should a handyman cost?

Question

I've hired a handyman in Los Angeles at a price of $50/hour. This seems reasonable to me, as it is less that you'd pay for a plumber.

Does anyone else have experience with a very good handyman in Southern California? How much have you paid?

Answer 1

Dang!!!! I guess that good. I just charge by the job. Most times I know what wrong from what they tell me on the phone. People that work, usually I charge around $20 hour on an average, I guess, I know how long it will take. Old retired people on a fixed income, I may get a Pecan/Apple Pie. Sometimes if it a real hard job I will charge an old woman a Kiss and a Hug. Maybe I not charge enough! Ha! Next time I charge a pie, kiss and hug. Need to go up on my rates. ;-)
Oh, that in Arkansas.

Answer 5

Depending on your area you should find a good one anywhere in the $20 to $35 per hour range. Ask your friends and neighbors. Word of mouth is best.

Answer 6

Remember a handyman is "jack of all trades and master of none " dont ever pay more than $25 an hour

Answer 7

50 an hour in Southern CA is good, but ask how many hours it will take first, ohh ask a plumber too, so the handy man dose not drag it out for 2 or 3 hours.
