How much doe the typical handyman charge (hourly rate)?

around 20 - 50 max i would say average 30

Depends on where you live and the economy there. I charged $35.00 the first hour and $25.00 every hour after. 15 minutes being the increment. It also depends on the job the higher the risk or chance of something going wrong the higher the wage. Some states or areas are cheaper to live in then others so prices could very accordingly. If you can find one that is bonded and insured that is good and will cost a little more. The insurance is a little expensive. This was ten years ago and then was considered a deal. i wouldn't be surprised at $90.00 the first hour today.

$25

um handy man does not do automotive...that would b a mechanic....but now that our terminology is straight.....

ASE certified will run about 75 per hour........non-certified back yard mechanic about half that.......

as specialized mechanic will run u 150 per hour or more depending on specialty....

Depends on what you have them "handling"!
