How much would you pay a handyman to:
1. replace a bathroom fan that included cutting a larger hole in the celing to make room for the new fan?
2. replace a celing fan? the old one has already been removed
3. replace two outside flood lights?
4. install an 8ft flouresenct light in the garage that included putting the light together (Home Depot purchase)?
I charge 50.00 per hour and that sounds like about 3 hours of work. I work pretty quickly and I do exellent work, and I clean up after myself.
While keeping in mind that your hiring someone to do electrical work, make sure thier licensed to do this type of work.
When I retired in ‘07 it was at $48.00 an hour. I had a helper and guarenteed the work, had 47 years experience. I was licensed and had insurance, was bonded.
I would say it would take about 4-5 hours max to do and @$30 an hour. You shouldn’t pay no more than $200 if there is no major re-wiring or anything.
USA Pennsylvania I get $25 per hour, because I do the work right / according to code, and care about the customer.
He usually will give you a bill don’t worry. The bill usually consist of the stuff he bought and how much he charges an hour/and or day.
