How does Handibee's hourly fee work?

We're dedicated to providing our customers with transparent and affordable home repair services. With our hourly pricing model, you only pay for the time our technicians spend on your job, so you won't be charged any additional fees if the job takes longer than expected.

Transparency!

Hourly pricing ensures that customers only pay for the time spent on the job, which makes the pricing more transparent. There are no hidden costs or fees, and the customer knows exactly what they are paying for.

Double unit of measurement.

When it comes to charging by the hour for technician services, customers benefit from two units of measurement. The first is a fixed rate tied to the hour, while the second is the actual amount of work performed during that hour. For example, if a homeowner needs to service their air conditioning unit, the job may typically take around an hour, so the hourly rate for this service is already established without needing further discussion or haggling over pricing.

Fairness.

Hourly pricing ensures that customers pay a fair price for the job. If the job takes less time than expected, the customer pays less. If it takes longer, they pay what was committed by the technicians during the inspection period. This ensures that the price reflects the actual amount of work done without any surprises or hidden fees.

Motivation.

Hourly pricing also motivates the technicians to work efficiently and effectively. Since they are paid by the hour and incentivized to complete the job as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality (based on customer review ratings), this benefits the customer by reducing the overall cost.

Accurate estimates.

Hourly pricing allows for more accurate estimates of the cost of the job. The technician can provide an estimate based on the expected duration of the work, and the customer can decide whether to proceed based on that estimate. This can help avoid surprises or unexpected costs.
