My $1,000 Per Day Drywall Business | Here Is How I Do It | THE HANDYMAN BUSNESS |

[@preston8859]

I’ve only worked for like 5 people in the last year because I do everything and I’ve found customers willing to pay good money for that. Most handymen suck so it’s easy to stand out if you do good work, speak good English, and look professional. You can make good money doing the little jobs that bigger companies don’t want to do, or that most handymen just can’t do competently.

[@Samsonmetaphysical]

My neighbor started a small handyman business runs it under an LLC. He did a roof repair job for an old guy and charged him $700 everything went good and he had an appointment the following week with the old dude for some more work that he need done on his home. My neighbor couldn't make it to the appointment that they set and the old dude got mad and sued him for a $1000+ and reported him to the contractors board who want $5000+ for contracting without a license. This is the kind of garbage that happens in CA for trying to make a few bucks.

[@tabbott429]

You cant legally do work without a license unless its under $600 in MI. Its not hard to get a license. You cant piss off clients or you wont have a business long

[@P9rkour90]

Happened to my buddy here in Florida . Some shady people out there beware

[@randompost84]

Hey Handyman! It's been almost a year since I watched your videos. 4 years ago I follower every step you advice. I just came back from a 1 month roadtrip. I have 2 guys working for me the last 2 years. One guy with no experience started as my drywall guy. Drywall is very good to us. EASY money. Thank you for the great advice.

[@mph5896]

I am so glad I can do my own repairs.

[@nautilusshell940]

So much wasted time and money involving other people. Thousands on a contractor, who pays taxes, paid with income you made after taxes, their transportation costs, insurance; so much spent before a hand is lifted to work. The materials usually cost relatively little on most home repairs.

[@davem6685]

Yep. Can’t imagine not being handy.

[@mph5896]

@@davem6685 I would be flat broke

[@PaulMikna]

I get a lot of drywall work from Plumbing and Electrical contactors. I give them my name to come patch their holes and I in turn recommend them. It's a good place to start. They give my name to their clients and then I work directly with the homeowners.

[@neilmerlino6475]

Do you give a referral fee to the Plumbers and Electricians who refer work to you?

[@PaulMikna]

@@neilmerlino6475 No, I do not, but I recommend them to customers.... So one hand washes the other!

[@tabbott429]

Good advice. Ive been doing anything and everything for 20 years. Self employed with no advertising just referrals at this point. I work alone or with 1 or 2 part time guys when theyre available. People will give you all the business if you treat them right. I just bid a garbage disposal swap and 3 drywall patches at clients house yesterday. I love me some SPEEDSET MUD and a blow dryer. Gonna clean some gutters and install guards this week after hours. Starting a full basement finish job this week too. Cant keep people waiting to long either for small jobs. Squeeze easy jobs in ASAP while making good progress daily on bigger jobs keeps everybody happy. Quality matters for repeat business.

[@chadjelliston5652]

Your videos are great man. What’s so good in my eyes is your straight up honest. You don’t bullshit us. Tell it how it is. Glad you’re doing well. I’ve learned so much from you. I started my handyman business here in a small northern California town 6 years ago. I now make between $150-$200K per year by myself. You’ve been a fantastic teacher. And very amusing to watch while I relax. Enjoy life. Fishing, hunting, & family!

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

Tattooed eye balls!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I just ripped my stair way walls out. Found news paper from 1958, old rock wool, and a ton of dusty history!!!!

[@tabbott429]

I did a bathroom job a few years ago and found a Christmas edition of the Detroit News in the wall from 1958 too!. I actually restored a 58 Chevy during that time so it was even more interesting to me. I saved the paper and put it in the car when it was done for nostalgia. lol

[@itsmerob6120]

God bless you brother, already had these thoughts and it's clear to see that it's a great route to go forth

[@RapTalesRewind]

Just put up two ads up for drywall repair. I have had so much experience doing this and usually advertise myself as a handyman, but I want to see what happens if I just focus on drywall repair. $20 investment to see what happens.

[@JimfromIndy]

Good advice!

[@gio_32]

The problem with repairing the drywall after you repair what’s behind the wall is that you have now begun a 3-5 hour process that will likely pay less than the repair you made behind the wall.

[@xjumpermb]

Excellent advice

[@jasonrawls6959]

I never understood why electricians dont patch their own holes they make and charge for it

[@terencemerritt]

Most electricians don’t have the experience in drywall repairs. That would be a good idea, but they’re electricians to do electrical only. Sure they’d make more money tho so I’m with ya on that!

[@jackdoe8309]

Perfect drywall will take multiple visits, more materials, and a paint match. Getting it perfect is difficult and takes time. Have someone else do it

[@preston8859]

@@jackdoe8309exactly. You probably don’t want your electrician attempting to fix the drywall. Some can hardly do the 1 trade well let alone multiple on one job lol.

[@chadjelliston5652]

@@jackdoe8309 if you know drywall it does not take multiple visits. I use 5 minute mud. Bring a fan to dry the texture and paint within 5 mins per coat. I can get a 2’X2’ patched, textured, primed, and painted within 1.5 hours of work.

[@chadjelliston5652]

And change $250 for a patch like that. Zero materials since I take scrap from the lumber yards. You can charge a premium because with all honesty a good looking drywall repair takes experience. I learned in 1 year of doing repairs here and there as a handyman. Now my repairs are almost invisible. And no patch is invisible to an experienced drywall guys eye.

Don’t speak English and face tattoos. It’s so refreshing to hear truth.

[@thecashbandit_ss]

I’ve never came across a subcontractor with face tattoos tbh lol and how can someone come to your house that doesn’t speak English without you talking with them first and giving them your address point is he should do a video on “ I get so many jobs because I’m white and look like a redneck” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s the truth tho if he wasn’t white he wouldn’t make as much money Specifically in this industry!

That's funny you call out Cinci...too close to home bro! There's money to be made everywhere so if you market yourself appropriately and are professional, you'll get the work. Millionaires aren't going to let some drunk stumble into their house to do botch jobs, so you need to present yourself well and you will go pretty far, gotta build trust, have a good appearance, and do quality work.
