Yes, yes, YES!! As a homeowner nothing drives me more crazy than guys who don't spend 5 minutes (yes just 5 minutes) cleaning the work area. It's such an overlooked "last" impression they will remember you by. I had a large window installed in my home...it was a messy job inside and outside and was $thousands of dollars. When I returned home I found not only impeccable workmanship with a lot of attention to details, (perfect masonry work on the bricks, smooth caulk lines, untouched drywall, tight wood trim and painted), AND they cleaned it up so well, it was like they weren't even here! They even Windexed the window! I ran to the computer to give them a review online, I was so impressed. Here is another story ...this time of poor performance.... We had a furnace replaced. The guys working there needed an outlet for their concrete hammer drill, so they unplugged the fridge. We didn't realize until about 8 hours later that our fridge was left unplugged after they went home! Probably hundreds of dollars of food in the fridge was spoiled. I was so pissed. Needless to say, they didn't get a good review. In hindsight, I really should have asked them for a $200 discount to replace the meat and other food we had to throw out.

Galvanized Posts. I have a way to cone one end and then drive them in 24 inches deep with a steel post pile driver made for farm work. No digging or cement needed. However, the most Fence profit comes from charging $17 a linear foot for Time and Materials for all new posts and panels, plus $2 a linear foot for disposal of old fencing and posts. $19 a linear foot equals $1,900 for a 100' of fencing. Massive profit for a day's work. Gates are also very profitable.

That's a pretty good list but you can really raise your liability by installing consumer-sourced products. I will install the client purchase if it is on my list of approved fixtures, and if they accept all liability for warranty and any failures resulting from the fixture. That toilet wax that comes with the consumer-grade toilet they bought at a big box store, it's only good for double stacking on your extra thick wax with horn you install. I really enjoy your videos, keep em coming.

On toilet and faucet installs, I frequently also change out the supply valves and hoses. Most are the old style multi turn valves (or the awful newer plastic valves), which I change to the 1/4 turn ball valves. The solid tubing and non-braided supply hoses I change out to braided ones. So, that is an added material expense, but I quote my labor rate plus any needed materials. I have a Rothenberger "Olive Splitter" that makes removing the old supply valves ferrule a snap (literally).

Poop is not brown but green!!!! Back in the 70's I worked for a sewer repair company, I was paid $17-23 per hour plus two meals a day and a hotel room. I was single and did not have any rent. So working 40-60 hours a week most of my pay was pure profit, did not even have a car. I had a BMW motorcycle which fit in the back of the company truck along with my partners Harley. What a blast we worked the whole Northeast and were one of the few companies that could inspect, clean and seal sewer lines without digging them up, high tech back then, the cctv head was $1500, now with remote control about 600.00

I agree with him...on most profitable jobs. In my career, the least profitable job is installing laminate or ceramic flooring and all the molding. Most of the time you spend a lot more time to make the job look great than you expect, so charge by the square ft.

Was working from home one day and smelled smoke. House on next block had started a fire from the dryer vent and the whole house filled with smoke pouring out the roof and eave vents. Fire dept was already on the way and since then, house has been for sale and Re-sold 3 times in 15 years after the fire. Just wonder if the smoke smell is the reason for so many turnovers. In fact, it is up again for sale right now and has been on market for OVER a year which is unusual for this neighborhood (and price does not seem out of line.) My dryer vent is not the roof type but outside the side of house and since then, I do it myself every 2 years. Yes, there is a lot of lint buildup.

It all depends on how bad the fire was but if it was mainly smoke damage then it worked out ok and no smell left.

Alan, You must not do a lot of work in old homes. Electrical in old homes with old BX cable is a nightmare especially since it's almost guaranteed that the walls/ceilings are going to be plaster and the j-boxes are usually packed full of crumbly wires that are all black or have about 1/2" of slack. Plumbing is also much tougher in old homes (nothing like pulling a toilet and seeing half the flange rusted out or the angle stop that won't shut off) as are homes with fancy plumbing fixtures as those parts are not going to be in stock (a lot of proprietary parts) and usually have to be ordered. I like your advice if you're talking about houses built post 80's as the work is much easier because it's more standardized. I almost exclusively work on old homes and let me tell you bro, ain't no easy profit on any of those things. BTW I'm surprised you left off hardware swaps (locks, door hinges, closers, cabinet hinges & pulls, towel bars etc.). Fairly simple work that doesn't require much in tools or materials.

Great video as always. I’m really getting a lot of great info from your channel. Also I’ve seen you talk about dryer vent cleaning and going on the roof a couple times, here in Washington state the majority of homes actually just vent dryers under the house and then through an exterior wall. Not sure if it’s because it’s much easier to clean when you don’t have to get on a roof, also they are a plastic cage around the duct exit held on with screws. Sounds a lot more complex in your area though lol. In almost two years now I’ve only cleaned two vents that I can think of and neither was the main reason of the call.

Thanks for your comment brother! Around my area most homes are built on slab so that is why they've been out either through the roof or outside of the house.

I think what your trying to say in this video is the easiest jobs as a handyman. Just because u add a whole bunch of material and more time to a job doesn't mean it's not profitable. You take in account for material costs. And the time to do the work. You should be getting paid the same hourly if it takes u in an hour or it takes u 8 hours. It shouldn't matter. Doing it your way only makes it real hard to stay consistently busy through out the week. I prefer longer jobs. A- u get paid more for the more time ur there. B- you have less homes to visit per the week. Doing it your way u would need multiple numbers of houses per week to make your weekly paycheck expectation. If someone can do that week in and week out. Year after year. Good for u. But a high percentage of us can't manage 20+ homes a week to find

Use a bigger drill bit for rivets heads no grinder u have your drill up there already

I have seen two different handymen get into a lot of trouble when replacing faucets. Both of those times it was so difficult they almost had to quit. Sometimes it is easy but not always. I paid a handyman $45 dollars to replace my bathroom faucet (because that was what he agreed to beforehand) but it was a well over $100 dollar job when all was said and done and he almost could not get at the nut to tighten it up. He spent over an hour trying to do it. (turns out he was doing it wrong). Glad it wasn't me trying to do it. My roommate was a handyman and he tried to do a kitchen faucet (he spent hours on it) and he failed so badly the customer ultimately had to call a plumber.

I have a video on pricing theses jobs, Check it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZearbGFoNO-fbA.html

Hi all! I was wondering what jobs can I do without a contractors license - is there a video that explains that? Send me comments please. Thanks !

Is it a good idea to offer preventive maintenance?

I'm curious, if you did it on supply cost plus tip. What would you earn compared to if you charged a certain amount.

Adding a ceiling fan without existing wiring $500 minimum plus cost of fan.

How about sharing an average price you charge for these services :-)

I don't like handyman work because I always have to go back to home depot to get something before I do a job and you might find you take the part back to home depot.

Your welcome, thank you for your comment

WOULDNT the concrete from previous post conflict with the depth of galvanized post

is not adding additional wiring to install a fan and switch where none exist something that must be done by an electrical contractor?

Would have liked this video a lot better if you offered some price ranges. I like the list but people coming to you to improve their small business need help with $

That is a bummer

For rotted fence posts, I use an old auger bit to drill the rot out of the cement, if used, vacuum out the hole fill it with light grit cement and shove an fence pipe into it. Digging in California can suck, removing old cement ball is a pain. If you live in an area with DG soil, I start the hole with a dirt bar and digger, enough to hold about 5lbs of ice. Fill it with ice and come back the next day to dig. Or dig after some heavy rain or snow has thoroughly wet the ground.

I'm about to retire and thinking of getting back into handyman service ( last did it 20 years ago but found it too crazy working full time then add the calls). Leads me to this question... do you quote based per hour, plus parts, or just flat rate per job? And what now is considered a fair price?

I do per job plus parts. Fair price depends on where you are. In SoCal I charge $185 labor to change out a ceiling fan, same for a faucet.
