I started working as a handyman calling at my side business. at first it was just a few hundred dollars a month but it quickly morphed into enough income to replace my day job. I love working for myself, helping people, in making a lot more money. The biggest part of being a handyman and growing your business is the referral customers you will get. Some of my clients have referred me to a half a dozen other people. That alone makes you feel that you're doing something right. No matter where you live in this country there is not a house that doesn't have a door that squeaks or a toilet that you have to jiggle the handle. In other words no matter where you go there will be a job waiting for you as a handyman.

I was a handyman. Now I provide yardwork service. The advantage is recurring income. I can do a bathroom remodel and make a great payday, but, no regular, predictable income. I do a yard clean up ( I call them Overhauls ) for a nice pay check, and get paid to maintain it every month for the rest of their life!

@billysyms57613 жыл бұрын
Check your state licensing board. Here in California if you make less than $600 a day or per job, you do not need a contractors license. A few cities require that you have a Handyman license to work in that city but for the most part you actually do not. Thing is though you'll be making far more than $600 a day so it pays to obtain a contractors license.

You should have a reasonably fast mower and bill out about $75+ per hour. Having a helper at $15-20 will get more work done quicker. Gas and insurance need to be accounted for. Work 40 hours and your helper for 40 hours is 80 hours of labor. If you billed at $75/hour, you’re making $6,000/week for a minimum of 26 weeks. So $156k/year. Pay your helper $1,000/week is $26,000/year leaving you $130k/year before gas and expenses. Call it $100,000
