DO NOT EVER TURN OFF A MAIN BREAKER WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF ALL THE OTHER BREAKERS FRIST!!! Anyone who has any actual training as an electrician can tell you how dangerous this can be. JUST DON'T DO IT!!! To safely turn off a main breaker and restore power do the following steps. Step 1: Turn off all branch circuit breakers. (There's are all the breakers under the main breaker.) Step 2: Turn off main breaker. Step 3: Step to the left side of the breaker panel. Place your RIGHT hand on the main breaker and look away. (This step protects you in case of an arc event. Do not skip it.) Step 4: Turn on main breaker. Step 5: While maintaining the side step position, Turn on each branch circuit individually. Be sure to look away before energizing a circuit.

For fine tuning strike plates I use a carbide burr in a drill or dremel. Almost always under a minute.

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

That sounds pretty nice. I'm fairly certain if I tried that I would end up losing the carbide bit, but then again I suppose if I really wanted to I could attach a small bit holder to the drill which I probably should do given how often I lose all kinds of bits lol. Thank you for the feedback, I just might be purchasing a carbide burr soon.

Hi, I’m 55, tired of the regular job scene. Ready to start my Handyman business have owned several houses and done all the repairs and most updates. All the basic thing you talked about are very helpful and I can do except roofing. I’m not as experienced in that, but I know there’s a lot of money out there. I just need to get my gear together and get organized. Buying a small Ford transit van should do the job and keep things secure. Don’t want to risk having a truck and trailer stolen. Had a buddy that happened to lost about $250,000 with everything, good thing he had insurance of course. Blessings.

I have been a GC for 20+ years, a solid handyman is nothing more or less than a GC with the added negative usually of job pricing limits by the state. I did a pretty deep dive on your stuff and I find it surprising you have not gotten your license I would bet you are better than most Licensed Service and Repair Handymen/General Contractors.

In CA, it's a $500 limit, and it includes anything that could be seen as the same project. Splitting it up into different phases or estimates doesn't count. Renovating/repairing and painting fascia would easily count as one project. Be careful out there!

If i can line up repair work i make much better profit, between replacing shingles, doing patches or repairing chimmneys etc. With the struggle of workers ive been considering other avenues of income, Like yourself handyman work inside and out Lawn care Future planning snow clearing Even doing some research of farming Thanks for the in detail infomation you provide as its helping pick and choose a direction before i make any major jumps.

@jontnoneya3404 11 месяцев назад

Love this - have you thought about covering each and every topic in other vids? Just take each item of your top list and make a whole video about the exact repair, showing parts, labor and all that. Because honestly, some of these things are completely unknown to many of us. Like repairing the leaky roof. I have no idea what you're even talking about, how to do it, what materials to buy or any of that but I'd like to learn. Maybe break up the 10 into 2 or 3 vids showing all about how to do these things from a very elementary level.

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

My plans are as follows. In the next month or two I'm trying to get my filming studio built. Once it's built I'll take about a year, maybe less, to do a masterclass series starting with the idea of starting a handyman business and guiding everyone through the process step by step. Of course I'll also continue to put out my current content too. Once that is done I intend to do a sister channel that will be an in depth class with very high quality video and audio on how to do EVERY common handyman job. In the interim I would love to do more how to videos but there are still so many videos that everyone needs pertaining to the business side that there isn't much time left. I'm still running the handyman business and working every day as well.

@jontnoneya3404 11 месяцев назад

@@bulletproofhandyman - that is a really great plan. Too bad I live in Oklahoma City cuz I would offer to help with the filming. Coming from the IT world, I'm getting seriously inspired to make apps to help other handymen do their jobs on a day-to-day basis. Have one idea with a buddy but it's a HUGE app but I think it has amazing potential. hmm....might need to dust that idea off and revisit it. Anyways - good luck with the business. I'm looking forwarding to watching you grow and prosper.

@nr2237 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing man. I am an on-site apartment maintenance tech and these are all of my most common work orders. As an hourly employee, it blows my mind how much I could make on my own, charging by the job.

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

Great content! Has your top 10 most profitable jobs list changed since you started your handyman business?

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

Well, when I started my business of course my most profitable jobs were the jobs that I was best at. Over time. I've taught myself how to get better and better at many of the most common jobs so yes, I would say the list has probably changed because my skill sets have grown. For example, there was a time when I charged $150 to replace a sink cabinet bottom and it took me an hour and a half. Now I charge 250 and it takes me 30 minutes. Also, when I first started nobody was requesting that I replaced any fascia. Once those jobs finally popped up I got more and more of them since I did a good job and I got better and better at it so that they became more and more profitable.

@Plexus37 11 месяцев назад

Hello again, Wondering about the job cost limits for handymen. Maybe this doesn’t affect you, but if so what are the general rules/practices/limitations we should be looking at when advertising services, quoting etc. Can we split jobs? Is customer bought material included? Would love to hear your insights. Thanks from Hawaiis soon to be newest handyman.

@Plexus37 11 месяцев назад

So I made this comment after watching your previous video and found my answer in this one. So you have a $1k limit, here it is $1.5k but would love to hear your views of working within these limitations. I have rebuilt kitchens and bathrooms etc in all the homes I have owned, but obviously this is out of reach for $1.5K.

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

Usually materials are included in that number. The can be more than one job per address per year, but don't try to build a kitchen by calling it 12 jobs in 30 days. It's a racket for sure. Look into getting your license instead. It's typically not as hard as you would think and most states can do it all online after COVID. They just want your money, so give it to them and then go build some beautiful kitchens. Hope that helps!

@@bulletproofhandyman thanks for such a quick response. Do you have to have special licenses to do certain types of work (plumping, electrical, etc) I'm trying to find out if I do in my county, but I seem to be getting conflicting information. I'm not looking to jump right into "major" overhauls. Just hanging light, ceiling fans, minor plumbing, sink installs. Things of that nature.

@bulletproofhandyman 10 месяцев назад

Each state and county and city can and usually does have their own little set of regulations and licenses. For me, I can't do work over $1,000 including materials and I can't do and a plumbing, electrical or HVAC work that requires a permit. As long as it's under $1,000 and doesn't require a permit then I'm good to go. I also received a lot of conflicting information. So eventually I called the registrar of contractors for my state and got a local representative to connect me to one of their investigators. The investigator is the person who ultimately was able to clarify everything for me.

Hey man I’ve gone to every pm in my town and dropped my info off, there are 12 pm’s where I live. I got one job right off the bat replacing some exterior trim and siding but I have nothing after that. I’m thinking about targeting homeowners since the pm aren’t calling. I think the problem is that I live in a very blue collar area and there’s no shortage of guys doing handyman work. Should I call the pm and directly ask for jobs or is that a bad move?

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

If you're certain that's all of them then you're probably right. Is there a bigger town nearby? The pay differential may be worth the drive if you consolidate them into a few days a week. If not, you might target realtors. If that doesn't work then you'll just have to get good at dealing with homeowners. It will also be harder to get them to pay more if there is already a plethora of skilled men looking for work.

@nolanclark2253 11 месяцев назад

Thank you Ray for all of your content that you’ve been providing us! I agree with most of this list, except for pricing to get on a roof seems low. I live in Portland Oregon and maybe it’s just me but I don’t think I would get up on a roof for less than $500.

@bulletproofhandyman 11 месяцев назад

I'm not sure how the houses look there, but here in tucson they're mostly single story and we don't get snow so the pitch is minor. It's just like using a ladder to get to a second floor. In and out. Either way, the pricing for everything will be different nation wide. You should definitely charge as much as they're happy to pay.

How much should I charge for a trip fee in San José California?

@bulletproofhandyman 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, that would really be impossible for me to say. If you watch many of my previous videos about pricing, I go over lots of different ways to organize your pricing, but the specifics of your location are not something I would have any information about. All I can say for sure is don't charge less than $80 for a trip fee if it includes the first hour of work. Outside of that you'll just have to play around with your numbers. I started at 80 and over time I continued acquiring new property managers, each one with a higher trip fee than the previous until I stopped getting yes as an answer.
