Rates:
Standard:
$75/hour + $1/mile
If you don't own a car:
$60/hr + $1/mile
If you don't own a car and are low-income:
$40-60/hr + $1/mile (See Rates page for details)
Note: I don't do on-site estimates.
In order to cover the time and fuel it takes to check out jobs I may never end up getting,
I'd have to charge more per hour.
Those who do "free" on-site estimates will always build the cost of those estimates into the final price - plus the cost for estimates they did for others who didn't end up hiring them. You will almost always end up paying more with someone who charges a flat rate than with an hourly rate.
For a very large job, with costs in the thousands, you should probably get a firm quote in advance, but for the small jobs I do it is generally not worth it.
$300 minimum
Area:
I work primarily in Oakland.
I can go anywhere in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties as well as the entire extended SF Bay Area, however please note that I charge for commute time outside of my local area.
For anything further than about 10 miles from Oakland, CA it may be more cost effective to hire someone closer, even if their rates are slightly higher.
