I’m shaking my head because how can a handy man not bring a ladder?? I enjoy your videos. I wish I had your talent. I would make a bunch of cash too.

[@RixCanDoit]

To fully test for leaks after pt install, you should fillup the sink with water first then pull the drain plug. This will make sure it doesn't leak under pressure. There is no pressure just running water. As always, I do enjoy your vids.

[@TheHandyman1]

This is very true. When I get plumbing inspections the inspectors always fill the sinks up then let them drain.

[@michaelamick8295]

RixCanDoit , yes I agree this full sink pressure test is manditory to not experience callbacks on this type of repairs

[@Capzilla702]

YES SIR👍 And we all learned that one thru experience lol. Yeah I remember those days full blown greenhorn

[@rocontheblock8870]

thanks

[@mopar1968cb]

I also do that when I'm testing garbage disposal drains. I'll fill both sides 1/2 way and start draining them both the same time and turn on the disposal to see if it leaks.

[@robertd3870]

Dude love the vids !!! I’ve been in home remodeling for a while and it’s always refreshing to see that I’m not the only one getting calls for other people’s mistakes lol great stuff keep it going !!!

[@jay-rus4437]

Those small light weight buckets you can find at lowes in the paint dept are perfect for catching whatever may come out of a P-trap when opening. Will save you a lot of potential headache and cleanup 😀

Just stumbled on your channel. Loving it so far. Love how you not only discuss the technical aspects of the job but the financial aspects also. Look forward to learning more. Thank you.

[@andreakeeling9217]

Your paid for your experience. It may be a ridiculous reason to call you but you are worth it because of your experience.❤

[@Robocoppat]

$275 with little to no overhead is awesome. And I still find it funny that rental property owners charge an arm and a leg for rent, but put Band-Aids on everything and anything that break's. Good idea as far as mentioning how the landlord wanted it fixed. Not sure where you're from but again $275 for 45 minutes is Great. By the way how did you get started and what would I have to do ? Do you have to be licensed? Insured? Experience? 2 THUMBS UP and consider me a subscriber.👍👍

[@jaysantana9436]

Pretty quick jobs, and I like the way he improvised with no latter and kepted the time short and was still efficient about it👍

[@jasonweishaupt1828]

Mine kept coming loose so I tied it up to the sink nut with a piece of wire. Did it the week my son was born 12 YEARS ago. Pipe hasn’t fallen off since.

[@loakiemonkey]

Next time you should use graphite on a door handle or lock. Wd-40 Will hold any dust or dirt that gets on it.

[@markroberts3213]

wd 40 now make a spray just for locks they have it at lowes....

[@LordMagamus]

Graphite can also leak out and you can track it onto whatever you touch

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

You shouldn't be using enough graphite for it to get anywhere. It hardly takes any. If it gets on your hands it's easy to wash off.

[@garyknajdekjr4035]

Down here in South Ga, graphite powder turns to gum from the humidity, makes a sticky lock into a frozen lock

[@dfj555]

Everyone is a handyman now. Lol.

[@wilson3707able]

Thx for the video and it particularly helps to know the price, expenses and time spent at the job. I am charging way to low, but that’s because of the area I’m in (retired senior citizens)

[@larrog8413]

Same here (Florida). I feel you

[@TheMantonelli]

Thanks for you video . I have a question in regards to pricing. Sometimes i feel like i didn't charge enough. How do you determine your pricing? thanks!

[@sporty22011]

I want to commend you for your videos. They are awesome for anyone starting a small business, not just a handyman business. You really know your stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@he5890]

I'd like to know how you find the going rate for a particular area you are working in.

[@TheHandyman1]

Start low and start working your prices up to where the demand and the dollar figure meet.

[@spencert.6582]

I watched a couple of your Videos, Thanks Man! You obviously know what the heck your doing. Ive been doing stuff like that for about 4 or 5 years. On and off. Including Apartment Main. Trainee job. Your totally right about having a good "sales" personality. or maybe it was another you tube guy who actually said that.

[@robertbuck7186]

I like that. He acknowledges the don't fix it.. just fix it mentality of the owner that is renting... Those drain pipes were so misaligned that the only thing that fit was that flimsy adjustable p trap.. Which will probably break, split... I had a misaligned trap that I worked 2 hrs on.. another just fix it situation.. With a slow drain pipe leak at the joint... Finally put one of those red bushings on the part of the trap joint and put the white collar type nut on and then put the assembly together.. Finally it did not leak.. Which goes with my saying... They put it together the wrong way.. Now you need to fix it the wrong way... Because the owner dont want to pay... But make sure you tell him/her first that you are not to be held responsible for anything that happens there after.. it really needs to be taken all apart and fixed properly.. And that they dont get to call you to go back for free if it happens again in another given amount of time like 3 to 6 months... In fact you might say.. this might work or hold for now until it can be fixed right in about a year. By the way.. dont mess with supply water problems that are leaky becuase that could cause a major flood if the unorthodox repair doesnt work.. Just my thoughts.

[@johnhubbard6262]

You locked that door behind you on the way in - I like it, even in a nice neighborhood that can save you some real headaches

[@anthonyrivers8395]

For the drain I would fill the sink up with water and then open drain. The forces and the pressures that are exerted throughout the system help find leaks quickly😅

[@bwgstrongsoulchild9045]

How did you get started in this line of work. I have always thought learning to fix most appliances in a house was interesting but never knew that I could do it as a profession. Also how did you gain the knowledge for it?

Great video guy. I just came across your channel and I'm very impressed with informational handyman work.

[@chadbaney9369]

What kind of background and experience did you have before being a handyman? Also are there special need to know things being a handyman?

[@TheHandyman1]

I was a construction project manager building homes and condos. You have to be mechanically incline, It helps if you know how to fix things.

[@Dewanzaur09]

As a plumber that does quality work. Replacing that trap would've taken less than 5 minutes. And it would save them more troubles down the road. Keep that in mind. Which the drop itself could contribute to the smell. Too long of a drop into the trap. Shorten the drop, new trap, bet the smell goes away. And it would get rid of that God awful flex line. Outside of that, you do fine work. Just learn a bit more about plumbing. Your rates will go higher then lol.

[@mrandyhle]

Justin Dewan you should learn more about business, then you’ll get more work offers. Replacing trap wouldn’t of been hard for him, clearly. But he’d also have to ask him if they’d want to do that. And he mentioned that they just wanted him to get in and fix the issue, not solve it.

[@chris-ot4og]

[@sat_sonic]

Excellent video - these prices is why I do all repairs myself. Most are not that challenging and I’d rather spend my money on something else. But for a property manager who’s not spending his own money makes total sense. It sucks that they won’t even pay the little extra to get a proper trap.

[@ramonmorgan]

Definitely need a proper ptrap but that how apartments do things. And it’s def to far below the exit drain

[@ahmedsami1712]

hey buddy . do i need a business license for this kind of job ? i am a handyman for alomst 20 years now but i decided to do my own business in Michigan now

[@Delucid86]

Where do you work? I'm thinking about leaving the military and this is the kind of stuff I do right now (facilities maintenance). You recommend getting out and doing he same work in the civilian sector?

[@TheHandyman1]

I don't give out my location. I would recommend they you move to a metro area will millions of people. Small towns and cities Its hard to make a good living. Success in this business has to do with your customer service and how you can sell your services. The actual labor is the easy part. How long have you been in the military? I know a lot of guys that went in when they were young and are actually retiring at age 40 and starting a new career. Keep in mind being self employed you have no benefits, no paid sick days, no vacation days, no retirement. And you have to pay more taxes. Its called the self employment tax. I pay about 40% of what I make to taxes. The trick is to have a good accountant to find you business tax deductions so you don't have as much income to pay the tax on. Hope this helps.

[@Delucid86]

[@Mopardude]

I like this series, the more of these videos you do the more I am thinking of switching the scope of my side business to be more handyman type of jobs. Trying to find reliable woodworking/ cabinetmaking jobs isn't working for me. Woodworking is pretty much a dead business, and cabinet making I have to be careful what jobs I take on due to the fact my day job is working 40 hrs a week in a different cabinet shop. So time and the size of my shop is an issue. I have to find the right jobs that work for me.

[@TheHandyman1]

I actually started picking up jobs making cabinets. The metro area I live in is filled will millions of millennials literally millions. They all want custom mudroom storage cabinets. Like these www.pinterest.com/pin/168885054749334938/ I get about $3500 to $5000 for white cabinets with the bench. I would not be able to survive on just handyman jobs. The remodel jobs really pay the bills.

[@Mopardude]

At my day job about every house we do these days we do a mudroom like that too. I don't have a construction background to get into remodeling. I am not looking at doing handman work as a means to and end. Looking at it more to increase the money flowage for now to do what I want later. Part of the problem is I work for a fairly high end custom cabinet shop, 90% of our work is multi million dollar homes. So my contacts that can get me work, is work that is unreasonable to do with a 1 man 20x30 shop in a 3 months time period, to pump out 100K in cabinets for 1 house. I like to think I am good but I am not that good. LOL

[@TheHandyman1]

Wow a $100k in cabinets that's some serious work. You can definitely make an extra $500 to a $1000 a month doing handyman work on the side.

[@Mopardude]

Well 60-80K is average job for us. Kitchen, and bar, buffet, laundry room or 2, 4 or 5 vanities, it all adds up. Bigger houses push 100K. I mean when your droppin a few million on a house 100K is nothing really.

[@sust8n]

Thanks for another good video of random things. It would be handy (pun intended) if you could give us some idea of the how the $275 compares to other economies/currencies. I'm a handyman in Australia, and while our Dollars may be similar they are not the same, so I'm trying to gauge what price would be comparable over here. Maybe some indication of cost-of-living figures or average wages in your area would be indicative. Eg, the price of an average take-out meal, or the average hourly wage/earning for a regular employee / trades-person. I think I'm not charging enough for my services, so I'm working on what to charge, and what to do, to be more profitable. Your videos have been a great help. Thank you.

If they are not busy, most handymen charge the most they figure the customer is willing to pay. In the other hand, if they are busy they charge more than what they quoted for the job they are currently doing. If the new customer accepts the bid, the handyman makes an excuse to the current customer and takes the new job that pays more. Then, he returns to the job he interrupted later when he can.

[@jimh2061]

Look at it like this. If you have to get a plumber and an electrician out there it's 135 minimum for a service call so that alone is 270 but the management company doesn't know them and will have to meet with them to let the in and wait and lock up.

[@Orangedome]

+The Handyman You didn't answer my question but Well thanks I'll check it out the video. BTW I like your work..I believe in honesty and not cutting corners. Unfortunately people I work for do not. They expect me to do jobs without spending a n the right material. For example ..a drywall hole 3" x 12" ..I use paper tape, easy sand 20 then a top coat. But the clients complain that why I have to use paper tape at all and why do I need an additional can for the top coat...also they don't want me to use drywall primer.But i rather do the job right. what is your opinion?

[@TheHandyman1]

I do what it takes to make the money and keep making it. If the customers want a quick job do a quick job. Most people don't want to pay for the small details. Do what it takes to get the job done. Having good communication with the customer is a good skill. Being able to set their expectations is key. If they expect you to do a job a certain way and its the wrong way you have to be able to explain why it has to be done a specific way and that's why the price is what it is.

[@Orangedome]

+The Handyman Ok thanks alot I value your honesty. Now it's time to get things done

[@handymanpa7434]

Knight Valle hi, I used to be like that... getting paid $15 an hr and I'd do everything. It takes time... time to learn the business side and how to not talk... but communicate with customers and also for the right customers to appreciate your good work. Always be honest, even if they don't want to hear it amd explain to them that that's the right way to do it, but don't turn it into an argument, just inform them. If they still want it fixed cheap, then so be it. If it goes bad.... you did your part before you started... you informed them. Now you can charge them more to fix the mess and do it right, like you told them before. At this point, if they have any brain, they will see you meant well amd are looking out for them and hopefully they will appreciate it. That's how you keep them. Most of my clients don't even ask me anymore how much I charge for small jobs, just tell me to fix it. It took me 5 yrs to get here.... did not happen overnight. Wish you all the best and good luck.

I think that underneath the sink that expandable P-trap you should have changed in your video just to show others how well you do your job and how you take care of the customers it's not going to hurt to replace it with a $4 piece I love watching your videos I just think when you run into a situation like that change it people are watching your video and you influence others by doing the right thing I myself just started watching your videos and I love it keep up the good work awesome job

[@TheWadetube]

YOu charge around 200 an hour? Where do you live? Hollywood?

[@TheHandyman1]

Close. Its more expensive here.

[@waterheaterservices]

wade cooper Average $240 an hour on site. Not considering all the off site work. Denver. Plumbing fixture and water heater specialist.

[@thresher2656]

People wants to pay by hour, and who is going to pay for gas, car insurance, tool, work shoes, work cloths. And the more import thing experience. Some jobs takes 30 minutes to finished, but it will take up to 4 hours to drive and inspect it , and to go buy the materials.

[@i.bleed.green.2081]

That’s not bad considering he is going around fixing a bunch of small stuff. Flat rate would cost you more probly.

[@thatguyjoe007]

$275 for an hour's work is damn good money!

[@jamesf9610]

Don't forget the nylon washer you used lol

[@petestreet7535]

Yeah.$40

[@evankarkinen9670]

plumbing is illegal. By code cant use flex pipe.

[@vinceabbott1271]

How much should a handyman make in one hour?

[@TheHandyman1]

$125 per hour with tools in hand.

[@raynutty82]

You forgot about the nylon gasket in meterials. Lol Just kidding. Great work man!

[@TheHandyman1]

Thanks,

[@daviddoyle4516]

Cheap work is not good and good work is not cheap,,,

[@jamartin1]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Mattvintage]

That's a form-n-fit trap. Totally illegal to use. Not to mention that trap seal is wayy to deep, can only be no more than 4" to seal. There's no way that will drain and it's a perfect spot for garbage disposal remnants to build up and rot and cause a nasty smell.

[@TheHandyman1]

This is the way the builder installed it. The customer said they didn't want to redo the plumbing so that the p trap was so low. They said it has been working fine for 10 years "just put it back together the way it was" I'm in and out and on the next job.

[@johnboykin3128]

Possibly no high loop on the DW evacuation line either. Could explain the bad smells

[@idahoflyfisherman1]

houdini lubricant for doors. Won't attract dirt.

[@markroberts3213]

u should always hard plumb sink drains in....slip joint stuff is junk....

[@TheHandyman1]

Never seen a hard plumbed sink drain.

[@markroberts3213]

The Handyman oh ok I'm a handyman in Tennessee . I have issues with people throwing pots and pans under cabinets. So I use 1 1/2 pvc for all the drains. Just started watching ur videos u do good work keep it up.

[@TheHandyman1]

+mark Roberts If its hard plumed how do you clean the P trap?

[@markroberts3213]

u hard glue in from drain that goes into wall or floor then u use pvc 1 1/2 s trap that un screws, uun screw it and pull down off down spout that goes on sink strainer. they also make s trap with clean out screw on the bottom...

[@tnoel374]

Good video.

[@SuperFitRoy]

Wow I need to charge more. It seems like certain jobs I bid too high and other s I bib too low. 😩

[@TheHandyman1]

That happens form time to time. knowing your local market and what your competition charges is how I set my pricing. I was a superintendent for 7 yeas after college, building houses and condos. Having that work experience makes estimating and pricing remodels/handyman jobs really easy.

[@cli_sensei]

I've never seen a dishwasher drain hooked up that way.

[@meanjeand1608]

so many lines for one sink!!

[@93sr20dett]

How do you come up with 275$ for that? Maybe 60$ light. 40$ sink 20$ door. 75$ travel time

[@gonzalezliu86]

how do you estimate how much to charge for the jobs?

[@TheHandyman1]

+liu gonzalez its different on every job. I try to make as much money while still giving the customer great value for their money

[@pulgamax6222]

Just check on handyman around your area. Set a price per hour or job. Always show up on time and always leave everything nice and clean.

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

La Pulga del Face agree with you sort of,call plumbers,electricians and get rates for what they charge,outlet,fan,toilet,sink,than set your rates so that they are still getting a great value and you are making great profit

[@handymanreconstruction517]

you can also use Amazon and home depot for a reference and charge 50 to 70% less of what they charge to install for example home depot charges $200 to install a toilet in my area so i install it for $70 to $100

[@workingshlub8861]

handyman Reconstruction ..yup..depot charges like 300$ to install a storm door in my area..ill do it for 200 and be done in one hour..that still covers my time and insurance etc..

[@robertpowell7444]

what happens when you get a small job like a leaky commode that only takes 15 minutes

[@TheHandyman1]

Depends on the customer. Most will find at least a half a days work for me before calling.
