If you negotiate an hourly rate, make sure you play some of that music they like.

It tends to make them work faster, saving you money!

My neighbor is an older Mexican guy and he goes and picks up guys from Home Depot for projects.
One time they helped me with a shared project and the guys were awesome and did great work.

Another time he had some guys come over and they worked in his back yard for two or three days. The next weekend I went into my shed and realized several things had been stolen. I have no doubt it was his laborers that did it.

They know that if they go to a three hour job they aren't getting another job for the rest of the day almost 100% of the time.

A much younger friend of mine said that when he was a teenager, he and his friends would hire a Mojado at Home Depot to buy beer/liquor for them at the convenience/liquor store. Going rate then was 1 six-pack or 1 pint bottle.

Honestly, for $10/hr, they probably wouldn't even take the job.

Go through a temp agency. At least they cover insurance and everything is legal. If you don't like the workers, you have some recourse, and they'll send out different guys.

If I hire a company to do this, they will just pay some Mexican. Might as well cut out the middle man
