$ Handyman Jobs That Pay Good Money $ | THE HANDYMAN | 

I’m shaking my head because how can a handy man not bring a ladder?? I enjoy your videos. I wish I had your talent. I would make a bunch of cash too.

Just stumbled on your channel. Loving it so far. Love how you not only discuss the technical aspects of the job but the financial aspects also. Look forward to learning more. Thank you.

Dude love the vids !!! I’ve been in home remodeling for a while and it’s always refreshing to see that I’m not the only one getting calls for other people’s mistakes lol great stuff keep it going !!!

I want to commend you for your videos. They are awesome for anyone starting a small business, not just a handyman business. You really know your stuff. Keep up the good work!

Pretty quick jobs, and I like the way he improvised with no latter and kepted the time short and was still efficient about it👍

Those small light weight buckets you can find at lowes in the paint dept are perfect for catching whatever may come out of a P-trap when opening. Will save you a lot of potential headache and cleanup 😀

I watched a couple of your Videos, Thanks Man! You obviously know what the heck your doing. Ive been doing stuff like that for about 4 or 5 years. On and off. Including Apartment Main. Trainee job. Your totally right about having a good "sales" personality. or maybe it was another you tube guy who actually said that.

Great video guy. I just came across your channel and I'm very impressed with informational handyman work.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing...I’m a DIY-er, so always looking for tips and tricks to keep the home in shape! 👍👍

you for got to make 5 trips to home depot to get everything

$275 with little to no overhead is awesome. And I still find it funny that rental property owners charge an arm and a leg for rent, but put Band-Aids on everything and anything that break's. Good idea as far as mentioning how the landlord wanted it fixed. Not sure where you're from but again $275 for 45 minutes is Great. By the way how did you get started and what would I have to do ? Do you have to be licensed? Insured? Experience? 2 THUMBS UP and consider me a subscriber.👍👍

To fully test for leaks after pt install, you should fillup the sink with water first then pull the drain plug. This will make sure it doesn't leak under pressure. There is no pressure just running water. As always, I do enjoy your vids.

Thx for the video and it particularly helps to know the price, expenses and time spent at the job. I am charging way to low, but that’s because of the area I’m in (retired senior citizens)

Your paid for your experience. It may be a ridiculous reason to call you but you are worth it because of your experience.❤

Round of applause my brother. Living the dream.

Mine kept coming loose so I tied it up to the sink nut with a piece of wire. Did it the week my son was born 12 YEARS ago. Pipe hasn’t fallen off since.

nice work man! and thats a hell of a table saw you got now , lol

Excellent video - these prices is why I do all repairs myself. Most are not that challenging and I’d rather spend my money on something else. But for a property manager who’s not spending his own money makes total sense. It sucks that they won’t even pay the little extra to get a proper trap.

Thanks for sharing!

You locked that door behind you on the way in - I like it, even in a nice neighborhood that can save you some real headaches

I like that. He acknowledges the don't fix it.. just fix it mentality of the owner that is renting... Those drain pipes were so misaligned that the only thing that fit was that flimsy adjustable p trap.. Which will probably break, split... I had a misaligned trap that I worked 2 hrs on.. another just fix it situation.. With a slow drain pipe leak at the joint... Finally put one of those red bushings on the part of the trap joint and put the white collar type nut on and then put the assembly together.. Finally it did not leak.. Which goes with my saying... They put it together the wrong way.. Now you need to fix it the wrong way... Because the owner dont want to pay... But make sure you tell him/her first that you are not to be held responsible for anything that happens there after.. it really needs to be taken all apart and fixed properly.. And that they dont get to call you to go back for free if it happens again in another given amount of time like 3 to 6 months... In fact you might say.. this might work or hold for now until it can be fixed right in about a year. By the way.. dont mess with supply water problems that are leaky becuase that could cause a major flood if the unorthodox repair doesnt work.. Just my thoughts.

liked the knowledge on pricing

Love your stuff. My mother keeps telling me I need to do these odd jobs but I keep resisting. If you ever get to film digging up a basement floor to do rough in plumbing, I'd love to watch that.

Great video handyman

Good video boss and good pay. 👍👍👍

Good video.

I really like the work boots at 5:20. :)

Stumbled across Your RU-vid channel and I subscribe immediately awesome videos keep up the good work. I was just wondering if you have to have some type of insurance or slash certification for handyman work?

Sounds like escrow repairs. Good niche!

How did you get started in this line of work. I have always thought learning to fix most appliances in a house was interesting but never knew that I could do it as a profession. Also how did you gain the knowledge for it?

I’ve done this work for a year now I am 21 as of today and have had tons of experience with maintenance tech jobs I feel at any property they pay too little and take advantage of me and others because of how much we know and no need to get vendors out to make bids . I’m looking to start working for my self and doing the same as you we’re do I start ?

For the drain I would fill the sink up with water and then open drain. The forces and the pressures that are exerted throughout the system help find leaks quickly😅

Next time you should use graphite on a door handle or lock. Wd-40 Will hold any dust or dirt that gets on it.

Definitely need a proper ptrap but that how apartments do things. And it’s def to far below the exit drain

I love when you sum up at the end, also when you talk about costs and charges, the "business" side of it. I'm not a fan of painting, any painting tips in regards to speeding up trim cutting around mouldings would be great. types of tape or tools for textured or popcorn ceiling paint cutting. Thanks for content.

Funky smell is always great, means a regular client 🤑

Thanks for you video . I have a question in regards to pricing. Sometimes i feel like i didn't charge enough. How do you determine your pricing? thanks!

I believe this guy never smoked a joint in his life. He just has a great brain. Dude is cool

Good job.

I always enjoy your videos! Are you based in TX?

Awesome I do this every day and get pay by the hour make less money in 8 hours ,the you make in 45 minutes , thks for this video I will start my own business thks again

When you say what the price you charge for your service is, does that include the parts?

I'd like to know how you find the going rate for a particular area you are working in.

You should have used a 6' ladder for that light with a paint tray shelf for your screw gun and to place things. I imagine you left dirty finger prints on that wall climbing on and off. Once you tweak a muscle climbing and balancing in a awkward position, you'll figure this out. Speed and ease is all about physical leverage for most odd jobs.

I like this series, the more of these videos you do the more I am thinking of switching the scope of my side business to be more handyman type of jobs. Trying to find reliable woodworking/ cabinetmaking jobs isn't working for me. Woodworking is pretty much a dead business, and cabinet making I have to be careful what jobs I take on due to the fact my day job is working 40 hrs a week in a different cabinet shop. So time and the size of my shop is an issue. I have to find the right jobs that work for me.

I’d hire you...are you near Vancouver bc in Canada.. lol

My hero

The exact reason I started working for myself. Y get paid 10 -20 an hour when you can get 275 in 45 minutes... Great video man

Thanks for another good video of random things. It would be handy (pun intended) if you could give us some idea of the how the $275 compares to other economies/currencies. I'm a handyman in Australia, and while our Dollars may be similar they are not the same, so I'm trying to gauge what price would be comparable over here. Maybe some indication of cost-of-living figures or average wages in your area would be indicative. Eg, the price of an average take-out meal, or the average hourly wage/earning for a regular employee / trades-person. I think I'm not charging enough for my services, so I'm working on what to charge, and what to do, to be more profitable. Your videos have been a great help. Thank you.

Did you negotiate that price prior to starting the work?

Great.

What kind of background and experience did you have before being a handyman? Also are there special need to know things being a handyman?

Just love how the water supply is exactly over the none cfgi outlet - i am sure not your handyman job as well !

The T join isn't supost be there..what about a Y joint?

I hear accordian pipes are not to code in most areas, so I don't know why they make them. Evan if somebody uses them, it's not the worst violation ever. It just requires more cleaning over time.

I've never seen a dishwasher drain hooked up that way.

Hey I watch one of your videos when you install a faucet and 3 ceiling fans I think I could not remember how much you charge to install the ceiling fans and the faucet I have a job coming up to install some ceiling fans and faucets I would like to know what would be a fair price for each ceiling fan plus the faucet

What's the best way to figure out a good price point for my area?

Property managers, meh. More like 'rent collectors.' I understand when they say to do it quick, not right, but I love when they, the experts they are, tell you it's a minor job, should only take 10 minutes. Then there is 40 minutes of moving tenants' crap. That kitchen sink almost looked staged. I usually gotta remove pots/pans, junk, mounds of reuseable grocery bags (because we're green and charged for bags out here in CA, so they'd rather let them rot and mildew for the next batch of food).

Good job

How do you get hooked up with property management ?

so many lines for one sink!!

Don't forget the nylon washer you used lol

Where do you work? I'm thinking about leaving the military and this is the kind of stuff I do right now (facilities maintenance). You recommend getting out and doing he same work in the civilian sector?

So you charge "per task" rather than per/hour?

Hey handyman loved the video. I've got a question for you? So I'm going to work for my dad who owns a developing company and his going to assign me as a general Labourer so any major advice I should take with me to run like clock work? Thank you love the knowledge

I know you said you don’t charge buy the hour, so how do you charge a job like this?

How come no lube on the bolt lock and in key holes ? Thanks.

As a plumber that does quality work. Replacing that trap would've taken less than 5 minutes. And it would save them more troubles down the road. Keep that in mind. Which the drop itself could contribute to the smell. Too long of a drop into the trap. Shorten the drop, new trap, bet the smell goes away. And it would get rid of that God awful flex line. Outside of that, you do fine work. Just learn a bit more about plumbing. Your rates will go higher then lol.

That p trap under the sink is a horrible piece of junk. Those corrugations in that will cause blockages. I would have recommended a re- plumb. Good work.

How long was the process to where you could charge $275 for this kind of job? I do lawncare currently but business slows down in the winter and I've been thinking of getting into the handyman side of things.

hey buddy . do i need a business license for this kind of job ? i am a handyman for alomst 20 years now but i decided to do my own business in Michigan now

Some company NEEDS to make a tail pipes with a 1" and 1-1/2" offsets.

Am just starting as a Handyman, what do you recommend to do first of all and how do I start with my own little business

Wow a power outlet next to water

Pro Tip. Use an upside down glass to hold up your pipes

Don't fix it right just fix it wow eh but beauty is in the eye of the beholder so

Only thing I’m going to say about the plumbing is that the P-trap goes against code, at least it does where I’m from in British Columbia. Otherwise great video!

I think that underneath the sink that expandable P-trap you should have changed in your video just to show others how well you do your job and how you take care of the customers it's not going to hurt to replace it with a $4 piece I love watching your videos I just think when you run into a situation like that change it people are watching your video and you influence others by doing the right thing I myself just started watching your videos and I love it keep up the good work awesome job

I wonder if owners/ tenants allow you to film inside their apartment ... and if you sign any release of liability when you film

Wow I need to charge more. It seems like certain jobs I bid too high and other s I bib too low. 😩

You forgot about the nylon gasket in meterials. Lol Just kidding. Great work man!

I work in maintenance and yes make it just work is what they want nothing more

You can charge like you working for somebody or you can be that somebody and make real money. When I charge I don't charge like a regular Monday-friday job if you looking for regular pay stay at your regular job.

houdini lubricant for doors. Won't attract dirt.

Cheap work is not good and good work is not cheap,,,

$275 for an hour's work is damn good money!

On one of your videos it says that you can do anyting can you install an auto water feeder on my steam boiler and calibrate my pressure so steam comes out of my radiators?

wd40 isnt meant to grease/lubricate anything. Won't be long before that handle is sticky again. Love your videos and have learned a lot though, thanks

plumbing is illegal. By code cant use flex pipe.

Do you have a contractors license?. Here in NM we can't touch anything that is connected to power or water. So we can't touch faucets, plumbing, toilets, light fixtures, ceiling fans. We have to have at least a GB2. And we can't make more than $7200 a year.

I’m surprised that outlet under the sink isn’t a GFI. shouldn’t it be since it’s around water?

Is that electrical plug to code by water pipes???

How do you come up with 275 for an hours work? Would you mind itemizing that for us? I am starting a new handyman business and would like some insight into charging practices whenever I can. Thanks.

do you charge by the hour or by the job?

👍

silicon the trap joint threads...

what happens when you get a small job like a leaky commode that only takes 15 minutes

💕

How do you know on how much to charge ppl?
