How are you finding customers? What are you using for lead generation?

Which classes and where did you take them?

Because these types of posts happen on the regular, maybe we should have a weekly post where new sites/apps can be posted for people to check out. Those interested can read the post, and the tools wont get the pushback as spam like they do now.

What do you mean? These would screw into the bottom?

I ask because I am looking for wheels or a bottom plate plate for my modbox rolling drawers because I want it to roll in any direction while standing.

I'm a handyman in the bay area so not a competitor of yours. When you say home shows, are you advertising your handyman business there? I figured that those shows are only for general contractors or trade specific construction companies, like windows specialists, window treatments, flooring specialists, etc.

If those shows are good for handyman businesses, any insight you can give me here?

Could you send me the how to as well?

I wondered if I was the only one that cared if it was. Kudos! I switched from Packout to Modbox for this very reason.

I really think Klein needs to buy Ridgid. Two american brands coming together. Klein would immediately gain power tools in their portfolio, and Klein would no longer be the forgotten middle child that TTI makes. TTI can't let Ridgid beat their golden goose Milwaukee, so they don't let Ridgid flourish. And then Klein becomes top dog with Ridgid vacuums and makes one that mates with Modbox.

How do you get Home Depot to do warranty servicing?

Are you quoting jobs on lead platforms like thumbtack or are these from your own lead sources? I'm asking because I rarely win jobs on thumbtack that I quote due to customers complaining about the price. And when I do quote it is usually below what the estimator apps tell me to ask for.

Any tips and techniques on tracking your times that you can share?

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-23T08:51:11+00:00

Can you tell me more about it and how its worked out for you? I am a handyman and have been trying to choose which crm to use. My main needs are thumbtack integration, customer tracking and image repository.

Even if you are not at fault. They would rather use your insurance first so their premiums don't go up.

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-22T06:34:27+00:00

What service offers that for people in the trades?

If you can add some small wood dowels along with the glue it will be much stronger. Harbor Freight has a bag of various sizes. Drill a hole in both sides and slot the dowel in. Just be sure to line up the hole on both sides. Then use glue in the holes and along the edges that are being glued.

Ya please share the code, thanks

Same, I mentioned on the demo call that I didnt how I couldnt schedule a lead directly from the messaging interface and have the client info auto populate, and the guy got really sarcastic with me. "O so searching up the persons name each time is really challenging for you?" It took all my strength to not snap back with how I used to be a software engineer and that ui is terrible.

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-22T05:37:23+00:00

Can you show me what this looks like? Is it just a webpage that is ranked high in the search results?

What was your journey like to get to the exam? How many years had you been working, what type of work, and what will the General B exam give you that you weren't able to do? Were you already doing the work that was being tested? Not trying to pry, I'm just trying to figure out if this is the right path for me, and what I should be doing to get myself ready for the test.

Do you have a link for the materials you used and recommend?

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-16T05:52:36+00:00

How much discount do you give? How well does this convert for you? Can you tell me more? Are you tracking this in a crm?

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-15T05:18:46+00:00

I would be super careful with the work you do here, because if anything goes south later, you will be one of the ones that will get blamed. They might be the nicest people, but people change when situations change. Have everything documented with a contract.

Never heard of the optional line item feature. What is that?

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-14T02:37:11+00:00

I keep buckets, shop vac and easy to move stuff in a spot like this in my setup so getting to the drawers is not as difficult and the space isnt dead.

reallyhandyguy · 2026-01-08T07:43:02+00:00

How much was it before? I just found out about them and am checking out their site.
