How do I pay for the HomeTask service?
You can enter your credit card information for secure processing through our web site (to do this, visit your member profile) or you can provide cash, or a check to your Yellow Van Handyman when the project is finished or at least every 2 days.
How do you charge?
HomeTask service is charged on an hourly basis. Your Yellow Van Handyman may be able to provide a flat rate estimate for some repairs or maintenance items.
What if my handyman works for a part of an hour? Are your charges rounded off?
Labor Time Calculation: Time charged is rounded up to the next half hour increment. (Example: If your Yellow Van Handyman arrives and begins work at 10:30am and works until 1:20pm, billable time will be rounded up to 1:30pm and you will be billed for 3 hours.
Special materials or items need to be purchased for my job. How would this work?
You have several options for acquiring the materials for your project. (1) you can purchase and have the material on-site, (2) you can purchase and we will deliver the items, or (3) your Yellow Van Handyman can purchase them and bring the materials with him/her. If you should choose to have HomeTask procure the materials, you will be invoiced based on the standard labor rates in addition to the cost of materials as stated below:
Materials procurement mark-up:
$0 - $30 = $20 + retail cost
$30 - $60 = $30 + retail cost
$60 - $100 = $50 + retail cost
$100 - $200 = $75 + retail cost
$200 - up = 35% + retail cost
Note: All rates are recommended and vary widely depending upon your region and service provider.
What are your fees to dispose of waste materials?
