Learn how to start a profitable handyman business.
The handyman business can be surprisingly profitable, even if you are offering basic services like fence repairs, door repairs, and even picture hanging. But, that's only if you setup your business properly.
In this video I'll walk you through the first steps to building a home repair business from scratch the right way.
You don't need a handyman business plan. That is a waste of time. But, you will want to have a few things dialed in before getting started.
In this video you'll learn how to choose the services you are going to offer as a pro handyman. Not everybody offers the same services nor do you have to offer every service.
The next step is to learn the local laws that limit what you can and cannot do as a professional handyman business. Usually, there is a limit on how big of jobs you can do and the type of work you can do without getting a contractor's license. Visit handymanstartup.com/laws for more details on this.
The next step is to choose your customers because this is important: NOT EVERYBODY IS YOUR CUSTOMER. Some people aren't going to be able to pay the rates you need in order to make a solid profit. In the video I'll discuss why targeting specific customers is important and how it will make your business easier and more profitable.
The next step is to set your pricing as a handyman business. This is one of the more challenging aspects of the business, and it's one of the most common areas where people go wrong. Most handymen undercharge and leave a lot of money on the table as a result. To learn more about how to price your services for profit, visit handymanstartup.com/hourlyrate.
The next step is to develop a marketing strategy. How are you going to attract customers to your handyman business? In the video you'll learn why marketing is important and how to approach the subject so you can have a more profitable handyman business. I'll even share the best way to market a handyman business.
Once you complete these five steps you'll have a solid business plan for your handyman business - you'll be setup to dominate as a professional handyman.

I've been self employed for going on 4 years now. In my area Handyman is exactly what you want on your cards, truck etc. The guy that made my signs for my truck put construction instead of handyman and I noticed a drop in my calls. A person should think about what certain words implies. Construction implies equipment, subs, some employees, etc. But most importantly it implies you are expensive. After all it is a construction company so you have to have a lot of overhead is what most people think. Handyman implies you a small business owner without alot of overhead. Less expensive than that construction company anyway. Imo

The Money Filters Rule# 1 Never, Never call yourself or your business, “Handyman” Your pay just went down 50% after calling yourself a Handyman. Use contractor, home repair specialist, property maintenance professional, anything but Handyman. I used Contractor, no license needed, and sounds much more professional.

Thank you so much for mentioning the “Handyman Laws” I had no idea! I live in Florida and a handyman license is not needed to do most small to mid size jobs but it’s only $200-$300 to be able to do more mid size jobs. Quotes from my research: “You do not need a Florida handyman license. An unlicensed handyman can do the following: install cabinets, flooring, and above ground swimming pools; paint the interior and exterior of a home; perform basic yard work, and repair drywall.”

As someone who has dabbles in the trade since I was thirteen, I started helping my dad, then a friend of my dads was my first boss, quit school at 17, I'm 34 now, I has a steady job doing industrial electrical, and work weekends doing my side business. Finding a price to charges sometimes is morally oriented decision. For example I'm not going to charge an old woman just to change her light bulbs, I'm just going to help them out. I made a lot of friends just helping people out which also got me more jobs.

Particularly liked the emphasis on working out your rate. My advice; be realistic about your available hours, don't include weekends (you will probably end up working some but they shouldn't form part of your base hours) and don't forget to include holiday time. I get really miffed when I hear people say 'oh I'm self employed, I don't get paid holiday'. My reply 'best have a word with your boss then', of course you do but you must factor them in. Oh and just in case you're in any doubt I'm self employed and have been for the past nine years.

I was just watching this video. I paused it to go look up something online, and then unknowingly found your resources and started reading an article about Steve Handyman in California, and some of the things that he does to maximize his business to avoid excessive estimate calls. I then found out I was looking at your website so here I am back and I just wanted to share I think you’ve got great coverage. I am really interested in what you are talking about and I look forward to learning about your experience as a handyman. I have been suggested by many people that this is what I could be doing and I’ve already been helping people with these projects, but just not registered and not insured. So I’m taking that leap and getting the business started because I have a lucrative area that I could really maximize and make profitable. Thank you for everything on your channel.

There are too many states that you will starve trying to get $50.00-$100.00 an hour for. I'm sure there are places that will support that but in my state for example a high paying wage at say a plant or oil field business you can expect $18.00-$35.00 an hour with benifits. Most handymen here charge $20.00 an hour. I've been doing this for 15 years and I average between $30.00 to $100.00 an hour depending on the season, service, and time constraints. I've never advertised as my customers are extremly happy with my work and I've got repeat customers for years because of trust, quality of work, and they always refer me to friends and family. As a sole operator I am never slowed down by weather, seasons, or slow periods because I schedule my work around those obstacles. But it does take years of hard work to build up a clientele and one bad judgement call or being dishonest in ANY way can and will ruin your efforts. I'm proud that 15 years I've never been sued or had a single complaint. Trust me that is the real work.

@joelglanton6531 3 жыл бұрын

I agree that you must be in the city if you want to charge so much. He's probably in Las Vegas if he's in Nevada. I live here and you can charge a lot. I used to charge people in nice neighborhoods higher when I first started doing jobs on my own, and I made a lot of money doing that while still taking jobs at 20 an hour or so, but now I realize that that's not very honest and I have a price sheet that has most every kind of job I do on there (some jobs I flat rate and some I charge hourly) so everyone gets charged the same.

@joelglanton6531 3 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah and speaking of being sued, that's one thing no one ever talks about so I'm glad you mentioned it. You better believe that if a customer thinks you owe them money or otherwise didn't hold up your end of the bargain, they will sue you. If you accept a large job you may need to have the customer sign a contract; I explain to people that it is for the benefit of ALL parties involved. It is those aforementioned wealthy customers that will sue you before anyone else. As your business grows it's good to know or at least know of a good attorney, before you're even involved in any kind of legal dispute.

As soon as I raised my prices to a upper middle rate then the jobs began pouring in ! People just assumed that at that price he has to know what he’s doing. And I did! So value your time and knowledge TIME : your never getting back it’s there’s they are buying it! KNOWLEDGE: all the years of construction work in many different fields and knowledge in troubleshooting Is priceless. Know one has had the exact experiences that you have had and been wether it be long or short small or large .

Quick marketing methods are rarely the most cost effective. If you want quality customers fast then pay for some ads or for leads directly. If you want cost effective than invest your time now into local SEO efforts which will yield an extremely high ROI over the long term.

Business cards are a must but are handed directly to "potential" clients, you aren't going to be walking around town handing out cards so that's more for like potential clients. I have found magnets help out simply because everyone reads them, 3 cars on your daily commute may be looking for a handyman and as soon as they see your sign they snap a picture for later or call you on the spot. It depends as well on the area. Thumbtack may be a good source for leads.

In South Carolina we can't go over $200.00 materials and labor combined. If the cost is greater than the $200.00 we must have a specialty license or a general contractor's license. It's hard to make a living as a handyman in our area.

@StayHandy 5 жыл бұрын

No, you can start as a sole proprietor. Although an LLC is usually a better option because of the layer of protection it can provide to your personal assets.

I calculate materials plus 10% times that by 3 and that's usually what I charge unless its mostly labor then I charge an hourly based on danger since I'm a chimney sweep. The higher I go up, greater the cost.

State License. Town License. Per township individually. Sometimes County License. Insurance and Liability. A work vehicle that should be sepetate from a personal vehicle. Depending on state you can not step unto homeowner stairs without insurance. This guy is telling you the easiest part of starting a buisness, the B.S part.

Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you tried - Rozardner Successful Handyman Reality (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for how to start a handyman business minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend Sam at last got great success with it.

It is still slightly unclear, I would like to run a small business of small repairs, like hanging pictures, maybe a ceiling fan or a door repair tv hanging. DO I need to have a business license for that? it just a side hustle that I would like to do on the weekends. I dont think anything for the price is 1,000 would be in my menu of job... this all in Nevada.

The licensed jobs are ok to do but I make them sign a waiver. The waiver states they acknowledge you are doing the job as a favor to a friend and you are not responsible for any damages that occur. Any money exchanged is for parts needed for the job. I have done it a hundred times with no issues.

We are constantly seeing water heater installed by handymen where the venting was done incorrectly. Even if it’s 10 years after the install, the handyman installer may be targeted if the homeowners were made I’ll due to a faulty install.

Hi, I’m Dennis Dela Rosa Handyman from Toronto Ontario. I just started my handyman business 4 months ago. Regarding step 5 - Create A Marketing Strategy: now I am working with “handy for pros” so that I can meet new people to be my customers in my handyman business. Any advice if this is a good marketing strategy for handyman business?

@StayHandy Жыл бұрын

There are thousands of ways to get customers. The only question is this going to be a sustainable way to keep your schedule filled in the long term. Do you want to keep doing this for the next several years? If not, then I’d say use it in the short term and focus on better options.
