You dotted the I's and crossed the T's, a lot of information in a short video. Thank you, and I love your channel.

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Thank you!!

[@nuejoseph977]

Man, thank God I found this. I ran almost 3 years my first try. This information addresses alot of my mistakes. I ended up having to take a project management position with a developer for the past year. Starting to gear up for another round now.

[@marlonmendes1485]

Full throttle words of experience. Thanks.

[@andy_1776]

Invaluable information shared in such a straight forward way. Thank you for putting this video out!

Thanks for the great comment!

[@Cotyblack]

Agreed

[@spark-taco]

I'm only 12' into this vid and I can tell off the bat this guy has it down pat. No waste of time with anything other than what matters as he's valuing his time as much as mine. I've been doing top notch work for more years than I want to remmember but my commercial approach has been smarmy to say the least. Young man thank you for your wise advise. I'll get the rest later. Subbed.

[@cvzphotography]

Amazing advice for any new business. Thank you.

I wish I could take my handyman business full time. As I’ve been doing mine part time on Saturdays since 2011. Trying to figure out how to keep a steady customer base.

[@spark-taco]

I didn't pick up on that and I'm a stickler for that kind of ticks , must've been that what he was saying was too important to mind anything else. It humbles me that in a way all these pointers are kinda common sense but I never cared to follow them up, I'm motivated to do so now because the opposite ain't working for me.

Love the content Brother Richard! As always, spot on and useful!

Thanks man! Staying busy?

[@sdsconstruction]

very! I am at 95% completion of a $150k project. Trim and tile and low voltage lighting accents. You are obviously busy and I am really happy to see how well you are doing! I am a sucker for a good success story.

[@stuartwagner6913]

Well presented to the point and informative thank you for the information.

[@brachels]

You provide a ton of useful information it would come across easier to follow and understand if it wasn't so off the top of your head and presented in a more organized way . I would recommend jotting down a list of talking points and maybe a outline of what you want to cover. It would help you from repeating the same info and keep the information consistent.....and have a more professional and polished look and feel.

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Thanks, yes will be doing this going forward, this wasn’t suppose to be a 30 min video but here it is… hah I appreciate this comment!

Hey many great video quick question, im on the younger side trying to do kitchen renovations but have no experience. Should i work somewhere first before starting my own company?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

If you have no experience then yes, work under someone and learn as much as you can.

[@melvinlouison5872]

what’s a good monthly budget for a start up and should I use a Marketing agency?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

If you are just starting out do not pay for leads or marketing unless you have capital to invest and not miss the $. Marketing usually takes 3 months to see any return on investment and time. If you have money for marketing I would definitely put that money into a website FIRST! Focus on your local Facebook groups and Nextdoor app. If you have left over capital after building a website then I would work on lettering your truck/van and or trailer!

[@davidr9876]

[@sergeilevin4984]

Thank you for the valuable info. What do you think about Angi?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

My personal rule is I don’t pay for Leads. I would stay away

[@SharpBlockSoft]

How to find a reliable cpa? There's a few with good reviews. Should I follow the reviews?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Yes good reviews are helpful but I would ask the other contractors you know if they like their CPA.

[@DisenoVivo-123abc]

Use a keyword on your name for SEO benefit

[@Ismimical]

Hello, how do I start getting jobs? I currently work in manufacturing, really wanting to start in handy work. Don’t know how to go about finding work

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Start by posting on your local Facebook groups and the Nextdoor app. You will quickly get calls

[@Ismimical]

@@RenovationsandRepair Ah ok thank you so much!

[@dubdizzilgaming3221]

what would y'all suggest a 14-year-old does to get this started before they turn 18

[@SDoyal]

Get with a local contractor and try to apprentice under someone. i started at your age roofing and general framing work. it will be hard work being a laborer but the knowledge you will gain is well worth it.
