Great info. Really love these videos. With all honesty, this last year I’ve had some personal issues happen (mom passed, dog died, etc). And with all honesty I’ve unknowingly lost some motivation with my business. Reschedule jobs when I’m not feeling up for it and just not working for some people because I don’t want to be around people. Watching these videos is actually motivating… kind of like a re charge. Unsure why but it’s been enjoyable watching these videos.

I'm really glad the videos are helping. I can't say how I would react if I lost my Mom, but I know it will be the hardest thing I'll ever have to go through. I'm sure she'd proud of you for not giving up completely. I hope you get your groove back, but no judgement from here until you do. Good luck to you sir.

Great video! Your policy about requiring an adult to be present when you do work at a tenant-occupied property seems very wise. I can imagine all sorts of trouble that your policy would prevent. I agree with your choice of follow-through being at the top of the list. There's a handyman who does all sorts of work on my street and he does really good work, but his follow-through is horrible (and the people that use him know it). It's his reputation on my street. He will frequently say things like I'll be back tomorrow morning at 10:00 to complete the work on some job. More often than not, he won't show up the next morning and won't call either. It makes them furious (and rightly so).

I have a talk with a great customer of mine 6 years ago I showed up at her house clean on my buddy on working clothes but look like a uniform ( cargo pants/ white t shirt ) Second handyman on site to replace the fans on her house Did that and a couple of light bulbs in the middle One of the fans was noisy I tried to fix it second time but motor was bad Decided to replace it pay for it so she will be happy and will not call me to get something fixed that was out of my hands She was surprised Is one of my best customers since and as a designer recommended me to lots of other customers The reason is a look presentable and when I do something I honor warranty on the work regardless of what it is Look good look presentable but never forget the environment either

Man are ceiling fan recievers that interchangeable? Ive never had someone ask me to fix their ceiling fan, not that i can recall, they usually just want new ones. If receivers are that universal tho ill keep one in van shit..

Yeah they can be swapped out pretty easily. I buy receivers that come with a new remote so that I don't have to worry about programming the new receiver to the old remote.

You mention not working on a project if there isnt an adult there if it is an occupied residence, which makes sense. My other thought is maybe recording your work and saving it to your CRM? Is it legal to record inside a residence if its a liability mitigation issue?
@bulletproofhandyman
@bulletproofhandyman 5 ай бұрын
I considered it. After a lot of consideration I ultimately felt that it was too much time and resources for the unlikely possibility that I would need it. To be honest, I'm not fully decided on that. I could easily change my mind if I found the right product that I didn't really have to turn on and off or manage or upload and download etc... I may very well do that someday, but not yet.
@braol
@braol 2 ай бұрын
That is their home and most likely not legal to record without the tenants permission. Even if they aren't their, it's still their home. Definitely talk to a good lawyer if you are considering it. It would be bad to turn an accused theft into a lawsuit.

How do you handle working on filthy rentals? I don’t mean trash everywhere and it smells bad. But an actual health risk with mold everywhere, fleas, and rodents. A pm asked me to give an estimate on a place like that and my initial thought was to pass and say “ Sorry I can’t work here it’s too filthy. “ but I instead increased the estimate 2x because I didn’t really want to do it. Pm has since ghosted, did I mess up?
@bulletproofhandyman
@bulletproofhandyman Жыл бұрын
That's unfortunate but I would have done the same thing and I have done the same thing. If a place is truly a health risk then the property manager should expect that. Like I said, I would have done the same thing and I have done the same thing.

When you have something like a garbage disposal to work on, do you ask the person to clear out the cabinet before you arrive so that your time is just all work, and what do you do if they haven't or they expect you to do it?
@bulletproofhandyman
@bulletproofhandyman Жыл бұрын
I usually just clear out the cabinet myself when I get there. It never takes more than 1 minute. I do ask them to clear away things if I'm doing drywall work and I also ask them to clean the toilet if I'm going to be working on the toilet.
