For those who might not know, as much as possible, you'd want to reduce your consumption of foods high in refined grains like white bread, pizza, or cereal. These can cause a spike in your body's insulin levels which can further make your back pain more unbearable.

Thing I dislike is the 1950's bathroom demo. Its like 5 tons of concrete/mortar 5" thick. Tub weighs a million pounds.

It's that focus on the clients needs that makes such a difference. You've made their lives as convenient as possible given the scope of the job and you've made them feel like they understand the process.

About agreements: "write it down . . . make it idiot proof " 😅 man you nail it! Some people are too messed up, or just play changes to take advantage after having agreed on the job and money. No way!

It's more important on how they feel after than during the project. They will quickly forget any negative feelings during the project when they are enjoying their new kitchen.

Great video! The value add comments and making sure to communicate are so important! Thanks for the reminders!
@brendanf89697 ай бұрын
Totally agree with them purchasing based on feeling good about you and the importance of communicating logistics. I know you joke about the stereotype of the guy with the truck with the tools in the bucket, but being able to clearly communicate with customers really sets you apart form the average contractor.

The most convenient kitchen remodel i ever did was creating a kitchen in the customer's dining room, then removing the old kitchen later. Put up a plastic sheet wall & their life was unaffected. (although the "panic" hit during this job)

Always get paid for extra work. You don't have x-ray vision. Again, setting that expectation at the beginning and in the contract is key.

Hey Handyman, could you make a video about how many hours a day/week you work? It seems like you work really long hours 7 days a week most of the time and I’m curious to know the details about how you do it and how you prevent burnout. Do you rest at all, watch tv for an hour at night? Etc. how many hours do you sleep a night, that kind of thing! Your videos are much appreciated and very helpful, thank you!

Handy did do a drive/work with me video like 2 years ago where he took the camera with me as he went about the business day doing different jobs and what everything pays. I think it was called $1000 in a day, or something like that

One thing that really turns me off is one trade gripping about the previous work done. Keep your opinions to yourself. Agree totally with you handy that you applaud the customer on their choice of fixtures and finishes. No matter how ugly they are. HandyOn!

In FL the floor is usually concrete with various archeological layers of flooring on top showing the literal prowess of generations of boat people turned handymen... A hammerdrill with tile chisel attachment (mini jackhammer 😊) does the trick .. if you are lucky enough to uncover ancient terrazzo in older well to do areas, you have struck gold and may want to consider reconditioning that fkoor as it has become quite tge thing (while you are at it may want to determine if the old pine is "Dade county pine" in good condition which is very highly valued in the reclaimed wood market for provenance and quality superior to available modern materials (rot & termite resistance). Everyone likes tile floors and uneven 1980's diy linoleum under tile is a disaster showing cracking 2 weeks after move in and a good mopping as hydrologic pressure from water seeping in from only normal cleaning destroys flippers work in no time flat

Hello Handyman, when you started out on your own how did you create a contract for your customers? Did you use something similar to other companies or create your own? really enjoy the channel and look forward to posts on all 3 channels.

Very interested in seeing how you price it. I'm a general contractor in the Chicago area, and we do a lot of these 90s remods, and they are extremely profitable. We also do a lot of retrofits where we change out door and drawer fronts, new drawer boxes, and new hardware. We then paint the carcasses, doors, and drawers (I have a custom cabinet shop with a spray booth). That's the most profitable.
@hereforthelol6 ай бұрын
How do you price your refacing jobs? I’m currently counting the doors and drawer covers and multiply by around $300. Does not include new drawers though so curious how you price those?
@leearnold09117 ай бұрын
I remove glued and stapled 1/4" underlayment all the time. It sucks, and you generally need to float over the damaged subfloor with some feather edge, but it's well worth it in the end. We charge $5.00/sf for demo of underlayment in this market.
@johnevans60537 ай бұрын
I have had the opportunity to install 2 new kitchens in homes I have owned. I would consider it extremely difficult to install the base cabinets before the uppers. Mostly because you would need to set the uppers on top of the base cabinets and lean against them therefore risking damaging them.

@MrRaptorman19757 ай бұрын
Phasing the cabinet install is a profit eater. If you set expectations, there isn't an issue. Just do it all at once. Racing to get the cabinets in isn't my focus.

This is a handyman, his back hurting is a prerequisite requirement of his profession. It says so on his driver's license and business application. The bulk advil deduction on monthly excise tax filing is there for a reason. Lol

Please go see a Physical Therapist guys. I've had back pain, forearm pain, neck pain. You can get over it. It takes work but it's worth it. Dont work through it. You're reducing your ability to live a good life after your work is done.

With all due respect 5:20 makes no sense to me. I'm nowhere near your experience level but from what I've seen, when customers choose material, they end up getting cheap shit, stuff that's difficult to install, things that are just downright incompatible with each other... that sort of thing usually leads to a mess.
