Pricing handyman jobs
Per task is what most customers prefer: they know what the TV mount costs before you start. Hourly, usually with a one- or two-hour minimum, suits open-ended jobs like a punch list. Either way, list each task on its own line; it’s easier to approve and harder to dispute than one total.
Put materials on a separate line, marked up if you supply them, and say when the customer supplied the part, since your warranty may not cover it.
Know your licensing limit
Many states let handymen take small jobs without a contractor’s license, but cap the job value or ban specific work (electrical, plumbing, gas) without a trade license. Keep within your state’s limits, and don’t split a large job across invoices to get under the threshold.
Frequently asked questions
Should a handyman charge a minimum?
Most do, often one hour, to cover travel and setup. State it on your invoice and estimates.
How do I invoice for materials?
Put materials on their own line. Many handymen add 10–20% to cover the shopping trip and returns; say so in the notes.
