Comment from : YouTubeHandyman

I just found your channel and I’m loving the message I’m 32, just now seeing that bigger picture I’ve been working in the trades my whole life, carpenter, mechanic, welder, general get it done type of person I’ve been working side jobs for the last few years, actually made and extra $750 this week with side work and I’m ready for that freedom that comes with self employment Thank you for the advice and the positivity
Comment from : Corey Fox

So, when you look back on a previous year, what you get when you take what you netted after expenses and divide it by the number of hours you worked is of no importance, whatsoever?

To choose your customers you have to decline their requests How do you say "no" to a client for a project? Do you say your schedule is full for X months? Not return their calls or emails??
Comment from : The American

Can someone explain me that thing about "grey zone"? It is something about safety in job site or tax evading? I am really curious :)

Comment from : Daniel Perez

When you say the number one home improvement business show IN THE WORLD, you sound somewhat pompous Why couldn't you say in the USA? You have no clue what similar shows are out there in THE WORLD This is such a typical mindset of Americans, thinking they are the best, LMAO
Comment from : King Cobra

Absolutely have a contract even if it’s only one page
Comment from : ssts2006

Hey man, great to see someone across the ocean who runs his business exactly like me 🙂 Keep going strong
Comment from : Lars Eelke

I always get 40 - 50 deposit to lock customers into the schedule If the job is small, I just use the signed estimate with a line item scope of work instead of a contract but use a three page contract for larger projects The deposit keeps the correct mindset of seriousness from the customer and peace of mind for me not worrying about cancelation so much Yes you must refund the deposit if the customer backs out or you will get bad reviews I get all five star reviews and charge accordingly I turn down a couple projects a week Also, I invoke NAHB for quality guidelines in the contract just incase you get an unreasonable customer

Gun Slinger I dig it
Comment from : Jeremy Sky

As a long time owner of my own business - you are great!! Totally telling it like it is and love your advice to those getting into it The 'grey areas' --- yep! brQuestion - do your customers watch your channel(s) and have you ever gotten grief from them about $250 for a ceiling fan for instance?
Comment from : Tom Fleming

Update on my last message to you I’ve been struggling with how to start my business in my new area I bid my first job based on your video I made $800 for a bathroom floor repair that took 5 hours and the customer is thrilled The locals told me that the going rate for “Handymen” is $25/hr! Thanks again for reminding me how to run this business
Comment from : murphyco1

Mr Handyman how can you be so arrogant!! You said this is the number one handyman business show in the world and the universe , really? How do you know out there in a Solar System called Zultron On a planet called Nimp There isn't a "Handyman" Cranky out millions of videos a month with a following of billions and billions of viewers and subscribers? So Mr Handyman You better climb down from your horse right now and make a public apology to us viewers Immediately!
Comment from : Dean Eng

I’ve been a one-man phone repair business for the last 7 years I’ve made $1000 in an hour, and I’ve had to replace phones I’ve broken and lost $1000 in a day Be more concerned with getting good reviews, than the amount you’re making Accept the fact that things won’t go right all the time Be honest and fair with people, they’ll come back Oh, and remember to take time off (my biggest mistake) Working 7 days a week will get you nowhere if it makes you miserable and irritated, thereby ruining your customer service
Comment from : Joe B

"They want it done, they want it done right and they want it done by me" That's how you make it in this business
Comment from : Billy Syms

They're not poor people! There you go!
Comment from : Sheila Mobley

I take a deposit because usually my jobs require hundreds to thousands of money in material that needs to be bought up to weeks in advance to have everything organized for the job to maintain my schedule and have the job move forward smoothly and I refuse to eat that cost if they back out
Comment from : Dan the carpenter man

Im just goin to say thiss!! You make a lot sense my brother , thanks for teaching mee ,salud from indianapolis
Comment from : Daniel Martinez

Good take on the remodeling business, my son is on his own and I'd say his model is pretty similar to the handyman's The only thing I'd say is, you have to know your direct and indirect expenses and come up with an hourly rate to use when you quote estimates
Comment from : Columbus1152

This video hits home for me I run my business the same way as you and have always been paid and never been in court I will say there’s people I have worked for that I won’t work for again though Lol

Comment from : Duc Tran

I have a plumbing company I have no problem getting a deposit from a customer to purchase special equipment like a special order boiler with a return policy that has a restocking fee I don't want to be out the restocking fee if they back out

5 years interacting with customer gripes, inspections, supply house credit, weather, OSHA, floods, fires, acts of God, 5 years minimum, crew lead (Learning curve may vary) Leadership is sacrifice

Comment from : evelyn jepkonga chemwetich

How do you get all your jobs word to mouth or do you have a company subbing you out work at times I just stated my business 1 year ago but struggle in the winter
Comment from : leo cruz

The technical aspects are the easy part It’s the business aspect that is the hard part
Comment from : mtaylor935mt

You are correct about giving freebies here and there It pays in the long run for sure
Comment from : Brandon Kravos

I disagree on not taking deposits, I think its a very important part of a larger renovation ect It allows you to purchase the startup materials and your first day worked, even if something goes sideways with the customer atleast the materials are covered that you had to run through your accounts at the building supplier ect
Comment from : ABD Contracting Ltd

people who has problems paying a deposit will have problems paying you bigger checks from my experience So there is a good opportunity to walk away from problematic people
Comment from : Ruben Reynaga

Deposits especially for customers under 40 years of age because they are the ones that flake out or nickel and dime
Comment from : TJs Assembly

You aren't a handyman You are a full fledged general contractor Huge difference in skills and allowed services
Comment from : Jeremy Buchanan

Why is a handyman’s garage not finished?
Comment from : Antonio Casas

I have a question about hourly pay for handymen who expect to get paid for working, when, in reality, they spend the majority of the hour, standing there and talking/wasting time This delays the outcome of the project, and of course, costs more money to the homeowner A job that would take only one or two hours ultimately takes three or four because of the talking,etc How should this be handled? Just last week, a handyman I hired spent a total of "six" hours working on a project He has done other work before, and the same thing happened, but I never bothered to tally precisely how much time he spent talking I only knew he often stopped working to tell stories about other people, his life experiences, etc He also stopped to smoke cigarettes So last week, (six hour week), I decided to calculate the actual time he worked Overall, he worked only four hours, and spent two hours talking or smoking cigarettes, but expected to be paid an hourly rate for the full six hours, only because he was at my home throughout that duration of time What can be done about this? How do you actually come out and tell the handyman that you think it's only fair to pay them for their work time, rather than "leisure time?"
Comment from : Bloomful Beauties

The most I've ever lost is a week from a false start, last minute Sure it sucksbut the gap will fill Bids don't stay valid over 12 months though lol
Comment from : chris colvin

Comment from : Dean Eng

Hey Handyman, here is an idea of a subject "How to avoid terrible clients!" I am learning and worked for a lady who stiffed me because she thought I was running the clock as I was working in a hot, dusty cluttered attic doing her electrical She had no clue how long it would take to do the electrical and I am not the type of person to cheat someone in anyway whatsoever She also was a constant dope smoker and had emotional issues I will avoid this type of client for now on! Also, clients who are near broke brbrWhat client's do you avoid and what are the warning signs?

Comment from : mikesp1

Absolutely take deposits for anything significant And always return it, unless theres some weird thing laid out in a contract previously You shouldnt be spending the money on anything til the job is going anyhow

Comment from : Mike vuk

One thing to consider when it comes to signed contracts is certain states actually require a written contract for all contracting work Our Registrar of Contractors requires us to have a written contract that we can produce if they stop by our job site which happens from time to time We are also required to have key elements in our contracts that they look for So while I agree long time customers may not require a contract due to the relationship you may have a legal obligation according to your state I only mention this because I got dinged once for not having required information in a contract once and you better believe that will never happen again Lots of good info otherwise, keep up the good work
Comment from : Altitude Remodeling LLC

I have to say, your strategy is twisted I completely disagree with your outlook on life and career I enjoy your videos though brIf we were all the same life would he boring
Comment from : Greg Papasotiriou

I treat my deposits as a retainer or security I am turning away other clients to work for you If you change your mind there is a window for a full refund 2 weeks out I keep a percentage upon cancellation This is all written out in the agreement I still handle it case by case if there is a cancellation but this works very well for me Be upfront and it helps things go smoothly
Comment from : Mike Z

I always require a 50 deposit for any job over $300000, now I'm free to order specialty stuff for the jobThat's my contract, I now have half of their money and they still have half of my money!
Comment from : New England Vermont

I've been thinking about what you said about "employees" think about an hourly rate You are absolutely correct I have had that mind set since I quit my corporate gig 2 years ago to start a "Handyman" business I did to compare my new $ to my former $ I know I'm worth more than my former rate because my former employer was making money off of me, as they should Thanks for helping me have a different mindset
Comment from : Don Kitterman

I have a suspicion you’re gonna have to talk about it I don’t think any YouTube viewer will allow you to get away without talking about it Except me You don’t have to talk about it But probably you should but just in a way that you can, you know?
Comment from : Jeremy deWolfe

Comment from : Aepek

It's all about having goals and being organized Your attitude is great
Comment from : wnc817

On a project that has significant material costs I get a deposit before I order material I also have a written scope outlining the specific work and detailing things like finishes and hardware This mitigates my potential losses from backouts and makes sure I don't forget some small item that the client is expecting
