I really respect your opinion on pricing guidelines for "Handyman Businesses," and how you should begin with a determining your "hourly need"! I am getting ready to startup my Handyman business, and this video by you gives me hope on what will become my pricing guidelines. Well done, Sir!

[@handymanjourney]

I am glad this was helpful!

[@MannyFontes1968]

Ha ha Alan, I also use Homewyse to quote a lot of my bigger jobs and I usually end up quoting between the lowest and the highest estimate on the website. 👍 You should put a link under the description of this video to for the handbook on Amazon.

[@deaneng8540]

Yo Manny, I often do the same. Sometimes they seem high so I take it with a grain of salt. I guess cost is relative to the area we live in and other factors

Just bought the book and now seeing this video. Props for making statements about being a Christian, and calling yourself honest lee. The y go hand in hand. Thanks brother.

Thanks Chris for the support! Couldn't live any other way! Let me know what you think of the book!

[@FernandoDiaz-vz3hi]

Allen, thanks a lot, I'm from Puerto Rico and although I have a full-time job I'll soon retire and this is giving me the idea of ​​starting as a Handyman, but the prices drove me crazy, after seeing your video, my book arrived last week and I read it every time I can and I tell you that about prices was a headache and with it I was able to analyze and organize myself better. Thanks again and keep going.

How do you estimate drywall repairs? I have found that any medium to large drywall repair takes between three to four hours which includes the return trip to sand and possibly paint to blend. Folks don't understand the time it takes to apply three coats of mud plus their drying times and the work required for a good drywall repair so they don't give it much dollar value. I have found that any large 4'x4' repair for example estimated at over $500 often gets declined. I have thought of lowering my "hourly" to make drywall repairs more palpable to the client. Thoughts?

[@jeffshackleford3152]

I wouldn't. If they don't want to pay you to be profitable they can pay the next guy to lose money and it is a win win for you. You can do more profitable work while the other guy loses money and possibly messes it up, so then that person will call you to come fix it, which allows you to throw some extra on top.

[@theamerican4609]

@@jeffshackleford3152 That's not the reality....I have yet to get that call to repair another guy's bad repair.

@@theamerican4609 maybe we work on different things, because I get it quite a bit. I mostly do cabinet repairs as far as repair type work goes.

How much would you put into account towards work truck wear and tear, into pricing? Work truck repairs aren’t cheap, I mean if it’s just tires or something that’s not much but over time that wear and tear can become expensive on a diesel work truck. Wondering how much I should add to the cost of a job, just with that.

[@handymanjourney]

Well, you have to factor that into your overall expenses. So on any given year how much do you typically spend on maintenance and just saving a few percent here or there will help you in the long run if you have an unexpected maintenance Bill come up. We also charge a mileage fee of $2.52 per mile from our shop to their location that helps offset that cost as well

[@thetransformer6780]

@@handymanjourney thanks, appreciate it. I’ll add up the yearly expenses.

Lee, bought your book dude, nice numbers on the pricing! I will do that and avoid the hourly cause like you said when you get fast you can make a lot more than by the hour! Also, what is your min' charge per job and why don't you also focus on property management companies as well as homeowners or do is it more profitable with the homeowners, but then you have to take to do estimates...

[@handymanjourney]

Thanks for the support! I am glad the book is helpful for you! I don't really mess with property managers or real estate agents anymore because they typically want stuff done cheaper and quicker than what we can turn around. We have had better luck with homeowners and they tend to stick around a lot longer too!

Would a CA home improvement salesperson license work for a handyman? To be allowed to go over the $500 limit?

[@handymanjourney]

Not sure honestly, you would need to contact the cslb

[@jheiny1231]

I've always try to make 600 a day min. That's why planned work weeks are so important. If u have 3 small jobs for the day. U can maneuver around all 3 jobs and set a price accordingly on each for that day. Now if its a job that acquires some skill like electrical and it ends up taking 3 hours to do. That's where u can start dipping into 350$ plus range and try to make more than 600 a day.

I’ll come work with you for free if you can show me how to make 600 a day.

In 2023 No insured Handyman should be charging less then $100 an hr. I'm in Hawaii and at $125 an hr. if one job is more then 20hrs the rate drops to $70 an hr. We all need to stick together with the higher numbers so we all equity get paid what we are worth and not down grade the (handyman) as cheap inexperience labor

Hey handyman are you in the business of fixing stuff or creating ridiculous pricing schemes based on your lifestyle. I've been in the business 30 years. Your methods are all wrong.

Hey Robert, would love to hear your thoughts, how do you establish pricing? Always up for learning something new!

Lol troll comment

[@ahmad27ny]

​@@handymanjourneyyou don't just set prices based on what you need. That is stupid and the customers will wake your ass up real quick. The market will dictate the prices and you should be focused on filling your schedule.
