The small-job pricing problem
Handyman work is many small jobs. Without a minimum service charge and a clear hourly rate, travel time eats your profit. Set both on purpose with the Pricing Calculator.
Intake that filters tire-kickers
A simple intake sheet captures the job type, location, and photos before you drive out. It helps you quote faster and avoid low-value trips.
Deposits and estimates
For materials or larger jobs, collect a deposit. Use the Estimate Generator to quote, save, and reopen so you never quote from memory.
Stop missing calls
Missed calls are missed jobs. A missed-call text reply and a fast follow-up sequence keep leads from booking someone else.
Reviews and local search
Handyman businesses grow on local reviews. Keep your Google Business Profile updated, ask every happy customer for a review, and respond to all of them.
Track which jobs pay
Record what each job actually cost versus what you charged. Over time you will see which job types are worth taking.
