UrbanCompany commission is typically 15 to 25 percent of the job value. Price the rate to recover it. JustDial paid listing, Sulekha and Housejoy have lower take rates but lower lead conversion. State platform rating (4.5+ on UrbanCompany is the floor for premium work), response time (under 30 minutes typical) and completed-job count on the quote. Direct-customer referral repeat work is the highest-margin channel; build it through QR-code review cards on each invoice.

Hourly rates are ₹1,300 to ₹2,500 in the US, £25-55 in the UK, A₹1,700-110 in Australia, R180-450 in South Africa, and C₹1,300-85 in Canada. Most handymen charge a 1-2 hour minimum even for very small jobs.

For non-licensed work, yes. A handyman charges ₹1,600/hour for a deck repair; a carpenter might charge ₹2,800/hour for the same job. The exception is licensed work (electrical, gas, structural plumbing) where a handyman should not be working anyway.

Licensed electrical (panel work, new circuits), gas fittings, structural plumbing (pipework changes inside walls), structural carpentry, asbestos removal, and anything needing a permit. A handyman offering these cheap is either uninsured or not certified.

For one-off small jobs, one quote is usually enough; rates are fairly consistent. For half-day or full-day bookings over ₹12,500, get 2-3 quotes and compare what is included (minimum, materials, call-out fee).

Standard is 1-2 hour minimum across most markets. A ₹950 charge for replacing one light bulb is rare; the handyman has spent 30 minutes on the road for ₹950. Expect a ₹2,500-120 minimum to be the norm.
