FAQ
Common questions about handyman costs
How much does it cost to hire a handyman for furniture assembly?
Expect around ₱300–₱700 per item for standard flatpack furniture like shelves, cabinets, or bed frames. Larger or more complex pieces may cost more.
Does the handyman bring their own tools?
Yes, most workers bring their own basic toolkit. Specialized parts or replacement hardware (like a new lock or bracket) are usually billed separately and confirmed with you first.
Can I bundle multiple small tasks in one visit?
Yes — many customers group several small jobs (mounting, minor repairs, assembly) into a single half-day booking, which is often more cost-effective than booking separately.
What if the job turns out bigger than expected once the handyman starts?
Any change in scope should be discussed and agreed with the worker before work continues — they shouldn't add charges without your agreement first.
