I've only watched a few of this guys videos, and I already like him more than alot of others I've watched.
That price seems very reasonable and remember a lot of his work comes from referrals (like this one), If he was charging
too much then he wouldn't have gotten the job (+ additional work). I'm glad he is making a good living, at least then he is
not wasting several minutes in his videos begging for us to "like and subscribe", which annoys the piss out of me.... or have
a bunch of advertisements interrupting his videos, so he can make a few bucks!
Thank you, Mr Handyman for sharing quality videos with us. I do some handyman work and always think to myself after
I'm done, that I did not charge enough. I also would like to see what kind of tools you carry around with you.
Respect man I've been doing residential maintenance for the past 16 years and been thinking of branching out on my own
It’s time buddy
@@mrcwoodworks4523 hahahah
How did you get your first few customers?
Thanks for your channel. I'm finding your videos helpful and resonant with my experience. "Exceed their expectations", a key concept that has worked for me. I've been a handyman in a fairly rural part of the country for over 15 years. I didn't have the experience in construction that you've obviously had, but have always been up front with my customers about my skills, and ability to do the job(s), and researching how to do things I've not done before. Other contractors/handymen in this area seem not to be interested in little jobs, or the really pita jobs. And it amazed me how people really seem to like that I return calls, do what I say I'll do, or call to reschedule if something comes up and I can't get there on time. What advertising I've done is focused on communities of people, like Chamber of Commerce and church bulletins. Keep up the good work.
Last time I was on Craigslist gigs I found a lot of people wanting their drains cleaned, and they were requesting the job be done at unusual times like 10pm or 1am.
Wat type of drains do you mean?
The referrals thing is very true. I found my contractor from a referral and have referred him to several other people.
A friend of mine said she called a few people to do some basic stuff and no one shows up. She told me I should Start my own business. Have yet to do so but thinking about it. Appreciate your videos.
JON Gergeceff ...I have the opposite problem with my lawn care business , where the customer emails me with there situation...I tell them I can do it today, or at their conveinace... To never here from them again.!
Hey brother appreciate your videos good watch im 45 been in the business a while but its always good to hear someone elses journey
Hey man absolutely amazing skills you have
So I noticed in one of your other vids your Portland Timber shirt, and the neighborhood you're driving through looks pretty familiar. Are you in Portland, Oregon? Just curious. I use to live there, but now I'm on the coast, and I think I could benefit becoming a Handy Man here. Love the vids brother, keep them up. Thanks!
The Bearded Woodworker He's in upstate New York.
You're both wrong. I recognize a lot of landmarks from where I grew up outside his window as he drives around. I won't say out of respect for him because he obviously keeps it private for a reason.
Woodinville, WA
Just subscribed to your channel. I too consider myself a handyman. I have had absolutely no luck in a year of handyman gigs on Craigslist. I live in Texas and fortunately some gig ads state what they're going to pay , some state it firmly, most of which are way to cheap. Some are to far I.e., 200 miles round trip, I'm not willing to drive for 2.5 hours and work for an hour and charge only $75. What I am a firm believer in is word of mouth, I certainly strive to do the job right and move along, but there are some people that you just can't satisfy also.
How many people live in your city. I started with a box of business cards for Vista Print. I gave them to all friends and family. They hand them out to everyone they knew and it started to spread. It took me 3 years to start making decent money and 6 years to start making really good money.
Love the videos.....please make more because I’m a porter working overnights and I want to move up to a building handyman, possible Superintendent and have side work🤝
Thanks man. Thinking a lot about branching out myself
u rite. word of mouth very important, n to keep good terms with ur customers,!! thats how i get most of my job's!!!
lots of my work is word of mouth too...theres always someone who needs something repaired or painted and even better is to become friendly with a realtor...lots of work there.
Heck yeah I'll give you a "like" my brother!! Thanks for the motivation!!
Hey handyman you right on point always exceed their expectations
Boss you can do a chart with example of prices job by hrs or develop a formula with these
Great content I'm self employed doing commercial equipment repair. This kind of perspective helps. Subbed
I wanna hear more in the business side of what you do. Love the content and honesty. Thanks
This is exactly why I hate living in a nice neighborhood, I have to fix everything myself because I'm neighborhood profiled :)
Ya I don’t agree on this pricing method. It’s discrimination. I charge the same to everyone regardless how rich they seem...
That "drywall patch"
Was actually horsehair plaster!!!
I can tell that it's all city work
And I live city work
Yep. Best advertising you can get is from your costumers. Word of mouth. Do good work at a good price and you’ll have plenty of work. I did home repair of 15 years and never ran a advertisement.
What your doing may work for you,, work by the hour all you want, whe I estimate a job I never ever will work by the hour
The biggest problem I've had with stuff like this is pricing. How do you determine the best rate to charge people at?
I really love you video sir. Because I am also ah handy man. From Philippines
I have a number of friends in that neighborhood!
Dealing with city permits for larger jobs? Contractor vs handyman what is the benefits of being each?
Let's face it' a handyman gets bad raps as is the true reality of the home owners take advantage of us as being an easy mark not pay what they owe. We provide a service that's usually given & priced fairly opposed to the licensed contractors using their license to steal. You get what you pay for with most handymen but never with a licensed tradesman. It's true some handymen are out to sin & win, but it's not all of them as never do you find a decent cost from any of them corporate business enterprise Co.within. It's the reason so many of us use the handman as should be verified on affordable standards before you hire them & or you should expect paying them fairly what they ask for as they for the most part are cheaper than any others . If you desire high dollar expectations than you need to hire the high dollar contractor & or be content with perhaps good decent work a notch below perfect & pay the handyman his worth without nick picking him apart for minor flaws. F.C O.L He's the handyman /not the lone tradesmen professional or specialist of one trade but multiple trades doing it all at cut rates. He'll save you the day you will pay the other guy as he does his best If so you were to pay him his real worth & value, It be on average the cost going up another 55% on his true value for making it right It's quoted in the bible' you should pay a man his worth & not be what you deemed it to be. or dreamed it should be or to what you want it to be. It's like this, if he so set's a price agreed upon, Are you going to be willing to pay him more than he asked for? I doubt it' Likewise an agreement is an agreement you need to honor it & have the integrity & pay him forward his total, unless it's only done on few exceptions to be a total disaster & totally unexceptable. You need & must give grace & credit 'where credit is due & not unjustly justify it to escape your payment of it! In the end we will all be justified & God will multiply your sins ten fold for not paying the laborer his fair wage. I am a good man to have on hand, Dave the handyman home repair guy St. Louis, Mo. 63052 & vicinity. contact me by mail at punchypuncherallo@gmailcom
Mission Gearhead I would say the difference between contractor and handyman is weather you want to work or build a business. handyman can make a great living but at the end of the day if its just you or you and a helper your really not much different than a regular job that pays by productivity. if you own a contracting company the goal is to leverage employees labor for your income. if you have three or four employees working jobs your not at you can call yourself a business owner.
you cant compare the 2, they are both in different levels.
GC wins
This is what I call Hustling !!
Are there jobs that you can do but turn down and what would be the reasons?
you live in the dc area? the prices of the houses sound like the nova dc area
Keep up the help videos!
Problem with Craigslist gigs is that no one understands it and it’s just full time job offers
Where did you learn your skills? Did y u go to school or were you taught by someone?
I will plaster prime it and painted for 300 but that would require at least two trips what do you think about that
It took me 2 trips but I was on another job just down the street so it worked out great.
👍🏻. Checking home value great tip
I dont think anything about that because you didn't even explain your steps and how long every step would take you. if it takes you 8hrs to make that repair than you only made 37.50 an hr minus your gas and materials
Why 2 trips
Love the chat!
Do u do contracts with the customers prior to doing job?
How do I get a license to start a business as a handyman
Do you have a yelp page? If you don't I think it would be a great way for you to get more exposure for more jobs.
this is almost exactly how I would recommend people gaining work or keeping work. However checking out the price of the home on Zillow is in genius great tip thanks a lot
Curtis Burnham ...I thought if you want to gain work or keep it, you should do the work as if you were doing it for yourself! And not overlook the little things. What does zillow have to do with it?
3:40. Oh shit. That's what I'm charging now.
Do you work for some one?
Very few folks can do a virtually invisible patch, when I saw you were priming your own patch (key) I knew you were probably one of those guys.
Going back for second and third coat? use 5 minute or 20 minute mud so you get it done faster. I guess finishing it in one hour will have the costumers thinking you over charged em.
They added more work so I had things to do during the dry time. I used hot mud for the first coat and topping compound for the 2nd coat.
Looks like you have a cool lifestyle.
Can I do this part time? Still have a job wish to replace that income
Lol 😁 100 👍s
Says 6.6k.
U der shot that one 😀
Do you need a license or a permit to work as a handyman?
Explain color match nowdays? Do you paint entire wall or can paint matching nowdays match your repair? In old days pf hand paint tint i had an expert!
once in a while I will get a perfect match. Usually you have to paint the entire wall but its close enough that you wont see a difference from the other walls in the room.
Robert Jackson if you take a piece of sheetrock with paint on it to Home Depot they will match the color for you, idk if it’s at all Home Depot’s but my local one does it
Robert Jackson you can take a paint chip sample from old wall and lowes or home depot has machines that can find exact color
good stuff man
I set up shop near a retirement community or golf course. Be professional, do excellent work, and let the horseshoe & bridge clubs do the advertising for you. Ads are a total waste of money. Thanks for the video--good stuff!
You are awesome, make more videos.
Do you ever have any inquiry about your insurance
I have never been asked for proof of insurance.
I am a contractor and I believe that smaller jobs tend to make me more money!
It's a good video I enjoyed it. Although you sound very distracted. While you are driving so I was almost going to turn it off thinking. Maybe you should just park or just talk to the camera directly. Because driving and trying to explain what you are doing was really not working for you. But other than that, I don't mean to sound judgments. I thought your advice was really good. But your presentation could definitely be better and improved upon
What type of watch / watches do you wear?
Here is the link spacewolf amzn.to/2hkLLoC quit crapping in my yard
“If it gets 100 likes…” LOL
At 8:20 he said if it gets 100 likes lol, it has 10 thousand. :)
I ended up making another youtube channel just for the business videos. Up over 40K subs so far. Here is a link. ruclips.net/channel/UCMDrLJJDIhcXjSYrPy5iOrg
Keep em comin.
Hey, man. Thanks for posting your vids. I'm just building a deck for some family that is over 800 sq ft including a boardwalk and stairs. I grew up doing construction work with my grandfather and a lot of my family has also done construction work. This is my first project of this magnitude that I am overseeing by myself and I'm finding that I love it. This vid gives me a little inspiration in my thoughts of making construction a full time job. So, Thanks again.
RIP to the lady he killed at 4:25 seconds in...at least he cut that out of the video... haha
Did you include paint too?
+Cristian Ramirez I did not paint the customer is painting.
How do you establish a loyal customer base?
Do high value for the money. Word of mouth is the best advertising.
Cash pay suits me. I want front deposit and half way through pay. Only took one person to court in 40 years because of no front money. You may prefer end pay , not me.
how much is reasonable to charge for labor to install vinyl plank per sq ft? any help would be get. trying to price a 120 sq ft. install. I'm on the east cost. Delaware. internet pricing seem to be all over the place. I was thinking 4-5$ per sq.
would appreciate any direction. thanks:)
Every local market is different. Are you looking to hire someone to do the work or get paid to do the work?
@@TheHandyman1 get paid to do the work
@@JacobAHull-nx6rx What are the local retailers charging? I can get about 3x what the chain stores charge.
@@TheHandyman1 on home depot web site it said.1.25$ per sq. doesn't seem possible so cheep
@@JacobAHull-nx6rx That is how they hook you in. There are all sorts of markups once they come out and do the measuring and give the estimate.
A Handyman charged $1,000 for his work. We bought all the materials for him to tear down and remodel our bathroom. He remodeled it all except for the ceiling. Was $1,000 a fair price for a handyman?😐
Depending how detailed the remodel was. Ultimately that’s was a steal. I would’ve charged at least $1,500 so you got a good deal.
Whats the average income in that city you work at?
I just looked it up and google says $77,000
I just looked up what the average income is in the united stages for an individual and its only $31,000
Yeah, in a particular city it will vary a lot for instance a Handy man in San Francisco its actually very expensive vs Alabama for instance. Im just appraising based on your experience and reputation vs location.
AWEsome!!!!
I wonder why it was demonetized
A Bot does it. No one really knows why videos get demonetized but it happens to kitten videos to videos of flowers. Kinda crazy
OK. So I got a lawn service and snow removal business! My few customers say I do an unbelievable job! But no referrals, just don't get it? Yet I see everybody else working whom cut corners!
+Chris Horv Tell your customers that if they are happy with your work to refer you to their friends and family. I always tell my customers that.
The Handyman ..Ive been doing that since day one.. And they'd always said ya, of course we will!
I run a lawn maintenance company for 13 years now. Referral is not the way to make money and growing your company. It's all about advertising and give good prices.
I do not think I charge more to wealthier people. That is unfair.
$275 for one drywall patch that you did on a lunch hour? You didn't even put plastic down on the floor to catch your sanding debris. You may do good work for the final product. But I can't believe anyone would pay $275 for one drywall patch. That is insanity. That seems like praying on the stupidity of the customer to me. Because they don't know what stuff costs.
I gave them a deal. My minimum charge for anything is $300. They hired me to do a lot more work too. I work 7 days a week 365.
A buddy of mine said that both women and gay men would lightly flirt with him from time to time while doing handyman work, but he'd paid that no mind. Has that happened to you.
Ha 275?! Wtf how you sleep at night? Ps dry sanding to boot?! Dude, damp sponge=no dust!
I sleep well with lots of money. take a look around at my other $200 videos. I have several on my business and sales techniques.
Love your content but please focus on driving and do your videos in a safe atmosphere.
I think 3.7k likes shows you there’s plenty of interest in more videos
the price of house should not matter
But it does matter. It matters a lot in business.
Like watching your videos....but for God saks, do your video and talk about the other stuff when your not driving.
it's not what you know it's who you know.. You got a bit of luck on your side. who would pay £300 to change a door knob and a toilet seat. not me. Would you?
I’m 20 years old and do this kind of thing often. Im starting to get more calls every month by referrals and let me tell you, it pays way better than the $8/hr I use to make.
Keep praying it keeps paying as is it's getting harder & harder to make a living!
Keep learning all you can. Find the best way to get top pay, and make them happy, and keep your word.
Rocky Dennis MVP simple answer for you. Not everyone needs benefits, and not everyone feels the need to take vacations and sick days.
Rocky Dennis MVP jealous cause you're making minimum wage? Don't try brining other people down, they're working and making a hell of a lot more than you.
Rocky Dennis MVP I feel sorry for people like you when all you’ve got to look forward in life is the handouts and freebies.
Former HVAC contractor here. You know what truck lettering and the phonebook (old days) gets you? Aggregating, cheap, rude customers. While it brings in good customers too, it brings a lot of terrible ones unfortunately.
Also, you should charge as much as possible. There are a lot of hidden costs to running a business.
Been watching you for a while now, but I gotta admit... telling the public how you structure your pricing on whether they can afford it or not or because they live in a wealthy neighborhood.... ehhhh... I wouldn't have publicly mentioned that. My dos centavos. Good work otherwise.
I agree with both of you and him, personally I give breaks to elderly people, and people that I can tell may be in a rut.
The one thing I can add is... If you tell a customer you will be there at 8am Monday... Be there at 8am... I get more work than I can do... Because of that one thing... Being there when you say you will... The Bid... Be on time... You don't know the times I got work because the other Bidders showed up late or the next 2 or 3 days... My price was the higher price in most cases... Be On Time... Or tell them it will be Next week so they can maybe get someone right out... I have got work two weeks later just calling to see if they got someone to do the work... Most of the time they say no one has even come to look at the work... That is when $$$ signs go off in my head... They want this fixed at any cost then...
Z71Ranger hi if u need help to do any work of construction I’m general contractor without license
thats usually the story I hear from my customers, and the other is that I always answer my phone and call them back if I missed their call
Steve Barker what do you drive a Mercedes?
The Handyman
Instant Subscriber here on the strength of this video.
I have a struggling carpentery and painting business and your information here is giving me the confidence to succeed.
Thanks for talking about project pricing, advertising on Craigslist and taking care of your customers so they give you referrals.
The old saying “ word of mouth is the best advertisement “ is true.
It’s valuable to establish trust right away.
Thanks again.
the answer is years of doing things... like any business. referrals.
1st question: What city? ... aha! in the rich area! $200 just to knock on your door.
I'd like to see what you carry with you, like tools in the truck, etc.. :D
+Israel Lopez I have an entire video on my tool trailer and whats in it. Look for it in my videos. I will post a link for you when I get home.
That would all depend on the job we are doing as I pretty much do it all. I am but a good man to have on hand, Dave the handyman home repair guy.
Dave Overbey i think he was asking the creator of the video, not you bud. 😂😂😂😂
How did you get the price 275? Thats just what you wanted at the moment? Did you figure hourly?
@@TheHandyman1 It's been 2 years, have you made it home?
I like that you kept it so simple. Some people try to make too much out of nothing and it's boring to see them drag it out into this childlike lesson on something so simple. I subscribed off of that alone. I think you get it that no one likes to be talked to like an infant. Well done in case you did not realize it but I'm sure you do. Well, I should say you did something else I liked because I looked up to click subscribed and I already was subscribed so to ad a plus ill ring the bell. I'm a cancer patient and my health has been failing now found out I have lung cancer. No one cares about your problems and I have fell behind on rent and need some extra cash to keep up with rent so sick as I am I got to get my hustle on. LOL Thanks again.
This is The Real-Life Superheroes of Handymans ruclips.net/video/-oPe02Veyzs/видео.htmlsi=8gzGUx5dPqyKk5jO 🙌
Im going to start doing this. I am an excellent maintenance tech, Im HVAC certified, CPO certified and am very good at fixing AC units, electrical, plumbing, drywall, I can even fix all appliances. i get paid shit and have to work my butt off. Thank you for the video
Hell yeah man, my story is almost exactly the same. Apartment maintenance doesn't pay shit for all the different things we do. We're skilled technicians doing thousands of dollars worth of work a week to make a few hundred bucks. That is why I'm totally diggin this guy. I've been wanting to branch out on my own and get side work, I just don't really know many people. This guy is golden for sharing this knowledge.
I had so many contacts and referrals, then I moved out of state. It's tough to redo all the contacts. Plus I'm older and fatter and slower and lazy and hate handyman jobs.
Lol
I too am a fixer, from Australia. I love my job. Peace man
no better advice. after 15 yrs in the sign biz, my one man show has no web, fb nada. A satisfied customer will refer your work. A pissed off one will bash your name to people they don't even know. My triad /_\ system works for me. Service-Quality-Price. You can have only two. Quality, now, is expensive. Quality in scheduled manner, the price is reasonable. Poor Quality, at any price or time frame? you got the wrong man. My motto is " The sign of a good Business is a Good sign" Ironic, I quit advertising a long time ago, I ran out of card's and my working hours depend if my phone is on. Many aspiring Handy man will succeed if they apply the wisdom of this vidio. Knowledge many trade's is one thing, A happy customer and a check that cashes is another. I am a recent subscriber and enjoy your content
i use to do a lot of Handy work this was about 12 years ago Then i started working for a City, Now i am on SS, Most of my work was from word of Mouth, i tried to get in touch with my past Customers & most were older people that were Retired they have died or moved to an old folks home, i wanted to use them for references, i really want to get back into it i always advertised in a local classified paper, i live in the Metro Detroit Suburbs area, everyone uses the internet Now Days, i am Old School 61 yrs now but going Crazy sitting here on SS... i Guess the Net is the way to go Now Days ?
I am a handyman and love to be a handy man.
When engineering school is done, this will be my weekend gig for coffee money =)
Wow your special
you must have a expensive taste in coffee lol
Wow!!!! Common sense can make for a good income. I help my neighbours with odd house repairs and they are blown away with my work. When I was in public school I started cutting lawns that led to handyman jobs around the customers house. Eventually I worked on restoring log barns into houses then work doing construction on new home for summer jobs. I could never justify paying someone to fix things that took common sense to fix. I was to cheap. But after watching your channel I'm thing about a career change. Thanks
lol I am charging only $12/hr doing kind of the same thing with social media but like you said, under-promise and over-deliver! Really appreciate your great advice.
Love the video better than most of crap on televison and is educational great job need more videos Turk
How much experience is needed? 4 THUMBS UP 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video! I decided to become a handyman a few days ago. I've worked construction before and have fixed up houses that I bought... I have an F-150 and my own tools. I started knocking on doors and have gotten a good response. Do you see that you are still getting as many handyman jobs or has work slowed due to changes in the housing market?
I did the same job in this video got payed 560.
im a handyman in chicago area. tough business because time is such a premium travel and traffic is a huge obstacle that alot of people underestimate in this biz. But im always interested in other ppl's take on biz and other ideas and equipment that make a difference for them. much respect for your ability to work and do youtube. so thumbs up to ya.
Thanks,
ok so you're talking about referrals. that's the lesser half of the question. what about the initial contacts not in any way by referral
He explained that. Started by responding to Craigslist ads.
