Do you want to do work at home, but you do not know the amounts charged by craftsmen? You have made several quotes without knowing if they are interesting and reasonable? Here is an indication of the average prices charged by several trades.
For the various trades likely to intervene in your home, a variation in prices can be observed according to several criteria:
Each craftsman establishes an hourly rate for his various interventions. For most trades, this price per hour is around 50 euros. This cost can vary greatly depending on the duration of the project and its possible difficulties. However, this price alone is not enough to establish your estimate, because the purchase of materials and supplies is systematically added to it.

This professional intervenes for the installations of your plumbing and for the problems of water leaks. Like the electrician, the hourly rate of this type of service provider can vary greatly.

The carpenter joiner intervenes for the construction and renovation of the frame, wooden furniture, joinery, etc.

The roofer intervenes to install a roof or renovate it in order to guarantee its waterproofness.

Compare craftsmen's rates with detailed quotes. If prices can vary greatly from one professional to another, the quote generally allows you to understand the reason. A craftsman may set a low hourly rate, but the price of materials may cause it to change significantly. On the other hand, low material prices often mean lower quality.
The total budget for a service is difficult to calculate in advance due to the materials, variations in labor and ancillary costs, hence the importance of making several free quotes online and taking the time to compare them before your selection.
