I think it all depends on what the job entails. A friend of ours is a handyman that he doesn’t really charge by the hour he assesses by the job. He has to rent a storage locker to store all his tools and supplies. He will drive out to someone’s house to give an estimate. And then if they give the OK to have the work done he has to set up an appointment to come back and do the work. So there is a certain amount of running around to do and of course he would have to go out and buy supplies for that particular job. Point is, there can be more hours involved in the job then actual time spent on the job site. And his services go well beyond hanging pictures and changing lightbulbs. He will do small electrical jobs like installing a new fan or overhead lighting, fixing leaky faucets, etc. You are paying for his skill set and his expertise.
