This whole time I’ve been replacing fill valves and flappers for $35. And drawer guides for $15. No wonder why I’m no longer in business lol.

I showed my wife how to change the brake discs and shoes on the truck. Her response... "Thats it? That was easy!" Then I told her to call her favorite garage and ask how much it would be. So she did and came unglued at what they were going to charge her. After that we started fixing things ourselves like I wanted to do in the first place. Most of the things that break around the house you can watch a KZread video and learn how to fix. You've got a great gig, bro. Keep on making that money. Also those cookie cutter houses aren't worth 1/2 the price they charge new owners.

ALWAYS replace the supply line from the shut off to stainless if poly reinforced plastic. This part has the same water and water shock passing through the rebuild kit. Its great insurance at $9 and billed back to the customer. One water insurance claim is devastating can cancel your insurance.

I was thinking this while watching. It happened on a job I did years ago. I replaced the tank to bowl bolts/gasket and tank guts but not the supply line, 3 weeks later the plastic connector at the bottom of the tank split flooding half the house. Luckily single story and tile/carpet and customer was home to shut it down. I don’t hesitate to replace the line on every tank service now.

I use a canvas drop cloth on every single job. It’s a good practice and will convey a certain level of professionalism. It takes away some of the homeowners concerns and they can see that i care about their property and that I pay attention to details. It’s a great space to lay out my tools and create some of ‘my space’ that people, kids and pets usually stay away from. It’s all about exceeding the owners expectations. Even if the floor is dirty already... sometimes the tarp keeps me off of their dirt!

Where I live in Ohio, we don’t have many rental homes controlled by property management companies. What I encounter all the time is rentals owned by private owners who think that the handyman and every trade should be working for $20/hr. That’s why when someone asks me to quote work on their rentals, I just tell them I don’t work in income property. They want "get by" work, and they want it cheap. You’re fortunate to have a clientall that pays $200 for a ten minute job. That just doesn’t cut it where I’m from. Also, I never quote work by the hour, just a flat rate by the job. I charge $85/hr, but the customer never knows that. All they care about is that $350 fits their budget...even though it’s done in a couple of hours. I should add that I’m retired now, and just do this to cover the cost of my expensive hobbies and Florida vacations in the winter. Best of luck to you!

I started helping my grandpa at 14 when we decided to start posting handyman ads. He was bored at home so we started doing random jobs for fun. We started using hand saws to cut everything and now im 22 and weve had to build 2 sheds to house all our tools now. Its great knowing all the little details of a house and appreciating the work and knowing weve been able to provide quality work since many of our calls are referrals.

I have had a handyman business for about 6 years now. It's a good hustle and it's as good as you make it. I keep my schedule at about medium capacity so as not to get burned out but I like the challenges and finally am making what I'm worth. Great video.

I can’t believe the homeowner didn’t want to have you install a new latch. If you’re like me, most days you feel like a genius compared to some customers. I have a handyman business, and I would have just installed the new latch, because eventually someone who knows as much as you will visit this home and ask why the latch wasn’t replaced when the deadbolt was tightened up. I don’t give them the option to get cheap. The homeowner will NEVER admit that he told you to just leave it out, and you will end up on someone’s list of "don’t hire this guy." This happened to me early in my career, and after that I just do what is right and bill them accordingly. If the customer tells me to do something that I know is not right, I tell them to call someone else to do their work. A solid reputation is hard to establish, but a bad name spreads like wildfire. JMHO after 40+ years of being a contractor. I walk away from jobs that will tarnish my name, because it’s not worth the bad press. The money will,always come if you do the right thing, instead of listening to an uneducated or cheap customer just to make a paycheck. Anyone can do that.

I worked in property mgmt (administration) for 20+ years and in my experience prop mgmt cannot afford to alienate a "Handyman" by bickering over small jobs. Prop mgmt cannot afford to get a bad name among the handyman trade or they'll not be able get any skilled, reliable handymen to do their jobs (or plow, or mow, etc...) In truth, Mr. Charm here could have replaced the passage latch and charged the mgmt co and they would have paid (ultimately the prop owner pays for all repairs). But it's also likely the mgmt co will not blame our favorite Handyman for not doing work they instructed him not to do. They'll just make all necessary repairs all at once when the rental unit turns over. In the interest of professionalism and future relationship I think he made the right call.

The person who said that was just fine prob thought you would charge even more to go put the missing latch on since you didn't do that before talking to him etc.

Myself a cabinetmaker for 55 years, and an eye for detail, i couldn't help notice, that the drawer runners you cut down, are designed to fit "flat" to the side of a cabinet, and wouldn't worked, in that situation, unless a packer was fitted to the side of the cabinet, (L&R) flush with the surface of the front vertical cleat . The original runners, taken off, were designed, so they could be brought out at the back, for the drawer to run true. Why is it, we still see, (in the final clip of drawer function test,) the old original runners, with the return at the back. Having said that, If it was only the top drawer runners you replaced, maybe you should have included, in your video, the fitting of the packers, (left and right) to make those particular runners work !

During that time, I experienced everything you did in these videos at least once. Maybe when I retire from the Air Force in 5 years, I will start a contractor business. My wife and I love to remodel homes and I love to buy new tools. Thanks for the video!!

Only one thing next time place towel or rag on countertop before placing your tools down . Good vid tho .

Carleton Rutherford I’m a handyman, not a painter but I do know that here in Australia, painting is a well-paid building trade. Moreover, you called it a ‘semi-skilled’ job ... my only answer to that is that you’re a bloody idiot.

@Carleton Rutherford like all jobs there are people with different skill levels. Anybody can paint but if you own a million dollar house do you want the guy waiting in front of the home depot to do the work or do you want a professional that is licensed and insured? I'm guessing you dont have a million dollar house though.

Good job! I always enjoy the act of a finished job in my rear view and always cherish driving by jobs that I did.. Keep those customers happy!

I like your style. Good going buddy!😀

It seems like people have a problem about this guy making some decent money go call a plumber see what they charge Carpenters or handyman are always been underpaid and we have to know what all just like everything

Rob Schoufour - I do this for a living. Typically, I bid on projects versus charging by the hour.. but if I did it would be at least $35.00 (tools, transportation, taxes, etc are costly expanses).

Yeah and the plastic ones are worthless shit. Found that out from experience.

Watched a lot of your videos and gained extra knowledge just by watching ! Remodeling my sisters house thanks to you !!

You inspired me to make the leap and start my own handyman business about 2 months ago. great content. Keep it up.

Dude, wear glove when checking out that toilet. And tell those people to clean it up.

So is $1,000 your average day? Also, it seems like you could have just replaced the flapper in that toilet.

If you watch the video you will see that the float valve would not turn off. for a full day like this $700 to a $1000would be average. Handyman type jobs only make up 25 to 30 percent of the work I do. Most are larger jobs.

Thanks for the video man💰💰💰

Super random video blog of a Handyman found, 15min of pure curiosity. Mission accomplished.

You put your safety mask up. But, you take the safety guard off from the grinder.

Face shield is a much better protection since it blocks ALL contact from abrasives to the eyes without inhibiting sight, which is priority one with a grinder, sight of blade. Common sense is the best safety, if you have none then hire guys like us who do. His safety is his own to worry about, not the internet's. Blade guards definitely block sight and will do little to no good when an abrasive flys apart. He's not cutting an inch thick plate, he's trimming a 16th off like 26 gauge sheet metal. Haha!

With all your profits hopefully you can buy a pair of leather gloves for hot metal parts and a box of sanitary gloves for poopy toilets.

Just found your channel and enjoy all of your videos especially the daily repairs. Thanks!

I like these videos, keep them coming when you can.

Nice video. Mellinials should watch. Knowing a skill is far more valuable than a liberal arts 4 year degree.

Lol handy men in the comments puffing out their chest about other men not knowing how to do certain things. Relax tough guys

Thank you sir, I'm happy you've decided to share your honest days work. It was helpful especially the refrigerator "short" water line.

Keep doing it the way you've been doing it. Like the comments while driving around. Like the discussion about what to look for in a potential flip property. Great manner. Enjoyable to listen.

invest in a box of disposable gloves, bare hand in the toilet bowl, oh my...……………
