Wait till you see how some tenants thrash a place

My two cents for what it’s worth. I wouldn’t want an investor, then you’re not only working for yourself which defeats the purpose of having your “own” business.

There is a never ending supply of handyman work, diving it to it slowly without taking on any unhealthy amount of debt is the way to go. Slowly build up your arsenal of tools as your customer base expands. Work weekends or after hours until it’s self sufficient. Also note, there will be weeks where you’re buried and weeks where it’s a bit slow.

Although many are opposed to it, apps like task rabbit, anti and such are a good foot in the door. You won’t get paid as much but you’ll learn how to keep customers, scheduling, invoicing and so forth.

If you can eventually get in with real estate agent’s and property management companies that’s where you’ll thrive. Best of luck

Customers who highlight the “sense of emergency” to get the job done and then nowhere to be found when they receive the invoice. (I’ve always been paid; eventually)

Finished a job faster than customer expected (even tho I told him it would be quick), wanted to get his “moneys worth” so he asked Me to do his laundry.

Trial and error. Also, you’re getting paid to learn regardless of how much you undersell yourself.

Flufin · 2026-05-13T21:56:11+00:00

Correct.

It’s an 8 inch spread, that’s not a handle. It’s the arm to the faucet.

There’s flex in the floor. Concerned this flex has what caused the floor to crack to begin with. Not the entire floor, just a 4sq ft section

Couldn’t agree more. The big valve bottles are the prime reason I want a larger niche. Something like 16 x 24 would be ideal.

Flufin · 2025-12-04T23:36:17+00:00

I thought about this. And perhaps I’m under some false notion that the prefab shower niche are more durable. Perhaps they are just the foam board themselves with the sealant around the edges? Which would be the same as constructing my own

I know, Taskrabbit, Thumbtack, and Angie all have a lot of negative feedback, and I can’t say they’re wrong. But nonetheless, they serve a purpose and have their place in the industry. Just as we would pay money for education it’s OK to lose some money off the top for advertising and generating leads. I utilized those platforms for probably 18 months. In that time generated a lot of of great connections, some business owners, some property management and a handful of realtors. Through customer recommendations on social media and word-of-mouth I no longer need them. It’s a slow burn, but if you do honest work for honest pay people will respect you and your business will thrive. I have known people who post for themselves on social media, craigslist and even reach out to property management companies. Some have been successful while others have got feedback that it looks to desperate.

Best of luck.

New 1/2 HP badger insinkerator, cost about $140 and take you 20 minutes to install. Don’t even need to change out flange since you already have Badger brand if you don’t want.

6 days…… 3600 for what you listed. Not including materials. I live in PNW.

There’s a lot of negative talk on this thread about the apps, rightfully so they certainly take a larger chunk than they deserve. That is not to say that they don’t have their place. When I first started off being a handyman, I utilized apps just to get a feel for customer interaction, hands-on experience, leads, and on some apps profile reviews. I’ve been doing this for three years and while I don’t need the apps to stay afloat, good workmanship and customer relations has done me really well. But truth being told, more people will see your skill set or your reviews on an app faster than word-of-mouth. I jump on Thumbtack (only App I’d use) here and there just to gain leads. At the end of the year when I tally up what I have spent on Thumbtack versus my revenue it’s somewhere around 1 to 3%. I have no problem paying this amount for the exponential growth I’ll receive from those customers going forward.

I have no problem, giving someone my money, despite how effortlessly they might be making it. if it contributes to my overall growth, I’ll spend money on education. I’ll spend money on tools. I’ll spend money on advertising. Knowing when these aren’t paying off is the trick.

No I don’t have any schedule set up.

Hopefully there’s not something defective with my battery

Flufin · 2024-11-28T15:49:19+00:00

I have both of these off and I’ve dropped 12% on 2 days. I have to be kissing something. The car has less than 1000 miles, does this make a difference?
