Do handymen charge differently for HDB vs Condo?

Pricing is the same for HDB and Condo. Some condos require contractor pre-approval ($0-$50 admin fee paid by owner). FixMove handles all MCST coordination.

What's the minimum charge for a handyman visit?

Minimum charge: $60 (covers visit + 30 minutes of work). Combine multiple small jobs for better value — e.g., drilling 5 holes + mounting 2 TVs = $180 instead of $80+$80+$60 = $220.

How fast can a handyman fix my gate?

Most HDB gate issues (rust spots, hinge replacement, lock change) fixed in 1-2 hours for $120-$280. Full gate replacement: 3-5 hours, $480-$1,200.

Should I tip the handyman?

Tipping is not standard in Singapore. Pay the agreed quote via PayNow. A Google Review is more meaningful and helps the worker more than a tip.

What if the handyman damages my wall?

FixMove carries Public Liability $1M insurance. Wall touch-up (repair + repaint) is included free if caused by our work. Take before-photos for any contested damage.

Booking individual handyman visits adds up — the $60 minimum charge applies each time. Instead, bundle small tasks:

Drilling 5 holes ($60) + Mount 2 TVs ($160) + Smart lock ($180) = $400 standalone, but **$320 as a bundle** (save $80)
Furniture assembly (sofa + bed + wardrobe) = $360 standalone, **$280 as a bundle**
Gate fix + window seal + door alignment = $400 standalone, **$320 bundle**
