$50 / hr is below the normal rate. Most decorators charge $100+ / hr.

If there's no waste, then of course, shouldn't have charges. But if you are needing to eg: change your flooring, throwing out your old floor materials then yes, be prepared to have charges.

Some contractor, instead of giving you a clear break down, will give you a lump sum estimate. This can already include the waste disposal charge within. Just ask your contractor for information and reason for the charges. Ask him for options to reduce cost. (a professional contractor will give you details).

Sorry bout your bad experience! Where did you find him?
Any contractor who doesn't make you sign anything or doesn't give you details of cost is bad bad bad!!! lots of times, they appear to be inexpensive but will end up charging more in the process. By that time, it's too late for you to say no. So the project ends up the same, if not more than a professional!

Fong, I'm glad you liked my consultation! Pls take some pics and email me once you get a chance! Do let me know if you need help finding contractors/handyman...
