How much do you pay per hour for work around your house? I know there are other people here employing Mexicans to do work around their house. The guy I use does great work but $30 per hour cash seems like a lot of money.

The only way Id think about paying that much, is if it was some sort of specialized job and he had the tools.

$10-20 depending on how unskilled the work

I had him ripping out sheet rock in the ceiling, taping and floating it. I also need him to change out some electric plug ins and move them up the wall a little bit. I try to do most things that I can but don't want to mess with electric plug ins and I don't know how to do sheet rock finishing.

I've used him in the past, great guy. Back then he was $20 per hour so I called him to fix my leaking roof. He did a great job but I was a little shocked at the total.

Call a drywall company to make all of your repairs and coordinate an electrician to move your sockets. I bet you shut the frick up when you see the real cost.

Might get lucky and find an electrician but not a complete drywall guy. Pay the thirty and just be glad you found someone to do it

I got estimates to move 3 outlets higher on the wall (to hide wires from mounting TV) and they were all $425 or higher

Americans are willing to do the work, just not at the price illegals get.
