We hired handyman connection last year to tile a very small area in the front foyer (about 4 feet x 3 feet). The initial estimate was reasonable approximately $700. There were some complications and the handyman said he had to increase the cost -- he had removed the existing tile and the floor underneath was not the proper material so he had to put in a new subfloor -- this was fine -- however, the end cost of the job, NOT including materials was $3,000! Of course we had to pay as we could not leave the job half done. The other problem was that he took an entire week to do the job -- because he rarely showed up before 10 or 11 AM, took a couple of hours for lunch, and did not work until the end of they day. So I was stuck in the home waiting for him to show up. When I complained to Handyman Connection they said they would "pass the comment along". When I tell people I paid $3,000 for that tiny area in the front of my house to be tiled they look at me like I'm insane.
