Hello,

Am i being unreasonable by telling my handy man that these charges are too much.  He said he went online and searched for average charges.  My argument is he should use local comparisons not national. And i could have done most of these except the ceiling repair :) It's just that i am 2 hrs away from the property in Rochester NY.  Would gas be worth it to fix these minor repairs? (The work is already completed and i will pay) but i don't want him to think he can take advantage of me..especially being that i am a woman.  Thanks.
