Handyman Job Rate Question

Natsumi Jang

Hi, I'm new to BiggerPockets. Recently I had the following work done at a property:  1) install security screws for existing kitchen faucet 2) adjust deadbolt on a door 3) replace (2) outdoor lights and light bulb (4) replace 3 smoke detector batteries (5) install a spring for screen door (6) install a blind in the living room. 

This is my first time soliciting for a handyman and the job came out to $500 labor and material. I'm not handy myself and don't have the expertise and this is my first time working with an outside vendor. Can anyone tell me if they find these charges reasonable as I am unfamiliar with the going rates of handyman services? The handyman is very responsive and reliable and does great work, but I also want to know if I am paying a reasonable amount. It sounded like the job took a full day or not 3-4 hours. I wasn't present at the time. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
