      what is your license called exactly? how did you learn and practice things to even have the confidence in your skill to start selling services? did you just wing it or go to a trade school for some classes? is your husband a contractor so that you had tools and workspace around the house already to practice? what is the scope of things you can do under your license?

    Love your channel and love your recent videos on the other side of home repair. I've been a full time engineer mostly stuck in an office for the last 10 years. And honestly, most days it's soul crushing. I've done some DIY work on my house and while it isn't top quality it's safe and got the job done. Videos like this make me want to practice more and consider taking on side work. Maybe even going full time one day. There's money to be made, and it sounds way more fulfilling than being stuck in front of a computer for 40+ hours a week. Thank you for your channel and all of your videos.

      Thank you so much for all the training you’ve provided me all these years.
      I’ve saved money myself and for my friends and family by fixing and installing various things around the house by learning from your videos.
      I’ve been watching your videos for years, and have gained so much knowledge and put to work.
      I just quite my regular job and am a full time handyman now. Since past 2 years I have been putting 5 hours a day while I was working full time just to gain exposure and money before I go full time.
      Registered and insured last night after watching this video. Something I didn’t think about since the handyman jobs been keeping me so busy here in the GTA. Now I am full time and having so much fun doing it. ❤
      You are amazing!!!

  • @ChrisRI1000
    @ChrisRI1000 Год назад +3

    Years ago at work we often needed a retired guy with special knowledge to come in as a contractor to do work. His situation was such that he needed to keep his "official income" from going beyond a certain amount. So his work around was to bill our company for "use of tools" rather then an hourly rate. It was basically a rental on paper instead of personal income going to his W-2 or 1099. Not sure if that works now but it very well might.

    Best advice ever! Long ago I sold real estate. Woe to the man trying to buy a home without that paper trail! Working under the table basically consigned you to living in rentals or buying with cash. Not too many people want to live in a property that they can afford with their amount of free cash.

    Gutter cleaning is a great example. It's a job "anyone" can do and everyone can't do. Something like that can lead to all sorts of other work starting small and getting bigger and more complex. Roof repairs, other cleaning, tree pruning and totally unrelated work. But it does require interest or inquisitiveness. Also it doesn't hurt to hire yourself to other trades so you can watch and learn.

    OK I am a 63 y/o woman who is not afraid of being on a ladder (painted all the trim on my victorian house) We learned a lot from your channel during lock down and have been rocking the DIY life. My wife is a self employed cleaner and has noticed that there is a market for even really weird little things. Do you know how many people can't tighten a darn toilet seat? She carries a tool kit and helps her clients, but she could seriously charge for those. And that's before offering to do a California drywall patch! I am definately not wealthy and definately not looking to hire, but I think us gray haired folks out there who like to DIY can find a niche too.

  • @Fuckoff6454
    @Fuckoff6454 Год назад

    Solid advice Jeff. If you have the skills to renovate then invest in real estate/a home. Max out those RRSP's, take advantage of 1st time buyer programs and take advantage of the future real estate market. Every house I bought at least doubled every 10 years(BC), average for Canada is around 50%. Every month I earned income. Expenses increased but rents increased more. I have been semi/mostly retired since my early 40's. Just chillin in Mexico atm and U can to :-) Remember, most realtors got into the business to make $$$ so do your research and also find a good mortgage broker, financial advisor.

  • @ToolTalkCanada
    @ToolTalkCanada Год назад

    Great video! You probably don't want to get too regionally specific, but I would like to hear more about WSIB in Ontario. It is my understanding that you don't need it if you're doing work for a homeowner in their own home and you're not hiring any employees or "helpers". But if you do any "commercial" work including landlords hiring you to do work on a rental property, a small coffee shop that needs some painting, or even the local church that wants their grass cut (these are all job enquires I've had), you need to pay WSIB premiums on every job you do, including the residential home owner jobs. So you have to be careful. Also, no electrical work in Ontario, no matter how simple it seems. You'll get in trouble with ESA.

    I want to point out how easy it is to do stuff the right way a business license is a onetime or at worst annual fee of less than 100 dollars. Business liability insurance is in the neighborhood of 50 bucks a month. Doing things correct isn't a huge obstacle. Remember to charge More than your time is worth because you also have expenses. Tax insurance gas materials all cost some and you need to budget that stuff into what you charge

    @bignamek Год назад +7

    Tip for your invoices: add line items for work being done with description of the work that the customer can initial/sign on. This will protect both of you. As both acknowledge the scope of work, customer is protected from someone not providing service they agreed to, and person providing service has recourse if client is refusing/withholding payment.

    • @keithmarlowe5569
      @keithmarlowe5569 Год назад +3

      And change order. If customer changes ANYTHING: change order. There are 2 types of people that will be the end of well meaning trades people. I call them "what-a-bouts" and "while-your-here". The call is for one thing, and then turns into 5. "What--a-bout...".
      The scope of work is for a custom built in closet, and leads to an addition. "While your here...."

      @@keithmarlowe5569 Yup, currently dealing with this now. I want this and then when I show up it turns to I want 10 other things but I dont want to be charged. Also these types of people tend to be liars. I was told by a wife that they got their house renovated over a year ago then speaking with the husband he told me they moved in less than 3 months ago (There was still moving boxes in the house unopened). The wife is pregnant and told me she could give birth at any moment and wanted to work completed as fast as possible without paying any more than I already charged, when I repeated this to the husband that she could give birth at any moment and we will do our best to complete it in a timely manner he looked at me with wide eyes and complete confusion, as if I just spoke to him in a foreign language. Scan your prospects and be prepared and willing to not work with dishonest people as theres no amount of money that you can trade for your integrity.

    In Canada, if your revenue is less than 30,000 a year, you don’t have to charge sales tax. it’s called the small supplier rule. This can be attractive for customers. On the downside, when you go to the store to buy your materials and tools, you will have to pay sales tax there and you don’t get credit back for it, which you would if you were collecting sales tax from customers.

    I believe that in most states in the US you can talk to the local extension office and they can connect you with people that can guide you. Even down here in Mississippi MSU has a lot of things to help people start businesses. of course, the state also recently made it illegal for me to do a lot of things I used to do on my own home smh. actually, that's just what I've heard, I haven't been able to find the actual statute.

I suggested he take $10,000 and offer it as a down payment. Well, he instantly he had credit given to him by the dealership which financed it without the bank. They knew that if he missed payments they would repo the vehicle and keep the down payment. Cash talks and bs walks.

    I would disagree on the start with low prices. I find people who just want the cheapest they can get don't care how good you are they are more likely to still complain are about small things, they pay for a Corolla and expect a Bentley. Whatever the market rate is, aim for just above middle those clients don't want the cheapest cause of the horror story's but generally less pedantic thing top tier and are more likely to be the type of people who have other friends and family they'll recommend you do - Sure you might get a few more call backs but thats opportunity to grow and show you stand by your work

    Hi Jeff, obviously it varies by location. But do you know if the required experience for a contractor's license (in my location Virginia Class C license requires 2 years experience) can be satisfied by working for yourself without a license for 2 years? In Virginia you can work without a license as long as the jobs are under $1,000 and aren't permanent structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing. But I can't find any way listed on the government websites to get qualified experience other than a letter from previous employer (contractor, tradesman, builder etc).
    Thanks!

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  Год назад

      That is definitely something you should make a call about to the building office. I would argue that being in business and having great referrals should count as well but they might want a longer duration or a certain number of referrals. with the huge labor gap they might be open to creative solutions for the rules themselves. Cheers!

Do look up videos though. My floor had all sorts of requirements I didn't bother with. Like moisture and alkalinity test.

    My 23yo kid has been a GC for a homebuilder for the last year or so.. He's learned how to basically do anything construction related. Just today he sent me a snapchat of installing a medicine cabinet that the sheetrockers covered over.. Anywho, He's in the process of starting a construction trash removal service on his days off. He already has jobs lined up.. He wants to get a few years of being GC before striking out on his own building his own homes..
