Keeping the site clean is very important. Super agree. Easiest way to PO a customer is leave a mess. Also must clean up before you leave even if you are coming back. For some reason guys don’t do it. Just waiting for a customer’s kids or pets to get cut or stuck by something and you are about to deal with a very upset customer. Also, must get to an appropriate stopping point. If you leave for the day during certain points of demo the customer may feel uneasy when they go to look at the process. I like to get to point were the project is at a stopping point, I usually then talk with customer and show them where we are and what’s next. This way if there any issues they get addressed before the next phase and it’s to late.

Can't believe an oscillating multi tool wasn't mentioned with the first tier.

I agree

Never forget the drop cloths and terry cloth rags

So most of what I do currently is hvac, plumbing, and electrical. I'm going to start taking on landscaping, carpentry, and painting. I've done some small jobs such as patching drywall holes, vinyl siding, patchwork, ect. I've got a buddy who is getting into real estate, mostly buying homes on foreclosure and flipping to sell, so that's where alot of my jobs come from. My son is currently doing the landscaping side on his own, buy I'm looking to bring him on as my main landscaper. He's turning 16 but has taken his business through the roof! He bought his own equipment and flipped them, and has multiply residents as well as a few commercial places he does snow removal and grass on. I'm proud he wants to be his own boss like his dad

I literally have just about every tool you mentioned except cordless table, miter and HD hammer drill. I accumulated them from past three houses I’ve bought as foreclosures lol. This is the best video I’ve seen on startup of a handyman business. Thanks

Excellent video on starting a "Handyman Business"! Well done!

@midgetmack5344 2 года назад

Best video I’ve seen on RU-vid about starting a handyman buisness 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

Make it easy on yourself and use legal zoom for $500. It’s worth it. Then contact insurance, lawyer, and tax accountant/bookkeeper.

Every state has different handyman laws. You don't need to register or have a license or insurance to make money. That is all overhead that makes it much harder to get started. Check your laws first and see the amount of money you can make per job and go from there. Keep track of the money you make and at the end of the year, pay your taxes based on what you made. If you don't have experience in residential remodeling in the first place, you probably shouldn't get into this field because this kind of work takes experience. If you don't have the skills, go work as an apprentice with a handyman first.

Here in Virginia you can only do jobs less than $1000 dollars unless you have a contractors license.

Fantastic video mate 👍

A combi drill can be used as a wratchet driver/impact driver by setting it to the hammer drill setting, its not as good but works in a very similar way, some finesse needs to be used though .

As someone who works out of their sedan and is my daily and only vehicle. I want to advertise my business but i don't want to put semi permanent stickers on my car , a better alternative would be magnetic ads. In you're in a neighborhood unload tour equipment and stick on the ad. Once your finished with the job loadup and remove it.

The pricing has to reflect the area you operate in. I would have to drive nearly 150 miles to a town that could even possibly have enough people who could afford those rates and even there you wouldn’t find enough to stay busy. Not cutting you down just saying available customer base will greatly dictate what you can charge.

Just invested in a track saw. I have everything else

Ladders

@orienyeckley269 Год назад

I carry 2 little giant ladders with always plus ladder jacks and an adjustable plank…takes care of most jobs inside and out.

@UriValdez Месяц назад

Im very skilled but Dont have experience def have some fears to start as to not knowing what types of jobs to do. What do you recommend me to start with?

@RenovationsandRepair Месяц назад

Always start with what you know. What do you do now that you can provide as a service to customers? Start there and expand your skill set

@jani1940 Год назад

How many licenses or ein do you need for those different jobs?

@mikeaustin1323 Год назад

None . Check your area

@joshuabennett7334 11 месяцев назад

I absolutely hate every cordless table saw I have ever ran. A 10 inch dewalt job site is way cheaper than a 8 inch cordless and it has way more power. I also haven’t been impressed with cordless miter saws. It is easy to run a extension cord
