What Is The Booking Fee?
Why Pay a Booking Fee When Hiring a Handyman?
One of the most common questions we get is:
"Why do you charge a $125 non-refundable booking fee?"
We totally get the hesitation. No one loves surprise charges, so let’s clear the air and explain what this fee is, what it covers, and—most importantly—why it benefits you.
What Is the Booking Fee?
Our $125 flat booking fee is non-refundable and due at the time of booking. But it’s not an “extra” cost—it’s actually a prepayment toward your overall service.
Here’s what’s included:
Travel time up to one hour from Morenci, MI
The first hour of hands-on work (unless quoted differently)
Think of it as locking in your service with a down payment—not just a slot on our calendar.
Why Is It Non-Refundable?
We run a professional, licensed, and insured business. That means we operate with structure, accountability, and long-term sustainability in mind.
Here’s why the fee matters:
Covers travel and prep. Your handyman isn’t just popping down the street—we factor in gas, vehicle wear, and prep time.
Helps cover overhead. Insurance, licensing, and other real business costs allow us to serve you reliably and legally.
Protects your time—and ours. When you book, we reserve that time just for you, turning down other clients. The booking fee helps protect against last-minute cancellations that disrupt everyone’s schedule.
The Bigger Picture: Dependability
This fee allows us to keep our promise to you:
We show up on time.
We arrive prepared.
We deliver high-quality work without cutting corners.
Your booking fee keeps our business strong and dependable—just the way you expect it to be. It helps us continue offering the kind of service that keeps you coming back and keeps our reputation solid.
Conclusion
It’s called a booking fee just because it’s due when you book.
But it’s also your first payment toward quality service.
So no, we’re not charging it “just because.”
We’re charging it to stay dependable, professional, and ready to serve you at the high standard you deserve.

Thanks for trusting us—it means everything.
