Phillips Home Repair

Hourly rate: $45
Daily rate (8 hours): $325

Over the few years that I have been in business I’ve experimented with a lot of different pricing methods. Some were based on the specific job, some were based on the difficulty of the job, etc. I have settled on the easiest for me and you to understand and calculate, which is a straight hourly rate. I will just take the number of hours and multiply it by $45. Tax is charged for repairs but if the work is part of a remodeling job, the work is tax exempt. (Yeah I know, it doesn’t make much sense to me either.) There is a one hour minimum, but after that I will round to the nearest 15 minutes.

Long time customers may have noticed that the rate has gone up a little.  I had to do this to help pay MY bills which have gone up too. I am not greedy, just trying to get by like everyone else.

Here’s a short list of common jobs and how long they usually take. This is only a guide. Any number of things can affect the time spent doing a job, so this is only to get a rough idea. Also this is not a list of everything I do, just the more common jobs. Do not think I can’t do something because it is not listed here. Call or email me to ask any questions and be sure to check out the FAQ page.
