Need advice for hiring a handyman [on retainer]

Posted

Hi All - I want to hire a handyman to cover a 3BD, 2BA SFH + in-law cottage in Noe Valley. Will be occupied by 1 adult and 1 child (the cottage will be vacant). I'd like to hire a handyman who will be available for small issues and fixes (note I am not hiring a property manager).

I'm willing to pay on retainer + by hour or project.  There are a few initial projects to start, and then projects will be as they arise.

Anyone have experience on what a reasonable and hourly (or project) rate is?  And would a place like Craigslist be the best place to advertise?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
