Good God partner, you should just use a dollar an hr. that way no body would want to be ahandyman . minimum in my area its 100.00 anhr standerd 1000.00 is not uncommon

Thank you!

Handy man and contractor is kinda like McDonald’s worker vs Gordon Ramsey.. … two entirely different skill levels. Just saying …

Use a hand-held screwdriver to avoid ruining the woodchip.

20 an hour to work for yourself . youve got to think about the over head to. picking up materials , gas and everything else

Where are you doing this "online research" to get amounts others charge in the area?

If it’s go hourly I charge $100 or $600 a day 8-10 hours , of corse with high quality

I just bought and Idasen high cabinet and cant get the last door as it does not latch and click like its showing in youe video. Any suggestions?

8 hr minimum

$20/hr 💀

Thanks... "I'll fix your house"

Perfect instructions. Thank you so much!

Damn.. Your handwriting is horrible..... The information is good

Great advice brother

I charge by the job and I've created a template for myself similar to what you have in the vid. Basically I list the job, how long the job will take me (in minutes), and any material needed. My template includes allocation of material and a disposal fee. I leave them blank if not needed. At the end, I total my time & divide by 60 (based on my rate), then add any materials I have to purchase. I also have a minimum charge, which covers 1-hr and a trip charge. I work solo, no employees, and if I have to hire a helper... what I pay them goes on the material side of the form.

Thanks

This video is so helpful. Thank you.

Excellent content thank you very much

$60/HR X hours, 2 time slots a day, AM and PM, round up to 4 hours if you can. And if its 4 hours, charge 5, $300/ half day for drive and lunch

Simple formula for beginners. Homeowner needs a new front door. You think an easy two hours, to remove old and install new. Double that time plus materials , plus time to get materials. An older home will always present unexpected surprises that will cost you extra time.

I think there’s a very wide spread in ability, capability, experience, and of course local averages. Also, supply and demand is a major factor. If your customers are telling you that you’re the only one answering your phone or calling people back, your stock is pretty high. Also, doing handyman work as an experience contractor with decades of experience and tools and equipment well into the mid 5 digit numbers is also a factor, especially compared to a handyman that does it as a side hustle or retirement gig with minimal skill and experience. The sector is diverse in that way. If you’re getting every single job you estimate, you’re too cheap. If you’re so busy that you are hesitant to schedule out any further, you’re too cheap. Your customers are paying for lots of things (or not conversely); skill, your experience, overall quality, your ability to design a functional and durable solution to the problem at hand, as well as the health of your business and longevity. It does the customer no good for you to go under in two years because you’ve priced yourself out of profit and prosperity. What weight does a warranty or standing behind your workmanship do if you’re belly up after a couple years. This is an interesting video to come across, but it’s definitely more in line with the metric a person would use in a side hustle scenario. If you’re netting that little in a day, just go work for someone else and forego the overhead, cost of doing business, and very importantly, the liability exposure. If the customer wants close to DIY pricing, they can always opt to DIY. Just some things to think about.

Thanks boss

Гарик Харламов,ты что-ли?

No sorry needed! This video is perfect! 😩🔥

To decide “your rate” First thing you need to do is figure out how much you need to make . Add up all your expenses for a year. Rent , food, utilities, gas, truck payment and /or repairs ect....... Divide that total by 2000 hrs you work in a year. That’s your starting hourly rate . Then you can tweak this as you go , adding profit margin and nailing down your overhead % also. Do not just guess an hourly rate . Good luck 👍

My friend , you saved me from a nervous breakdown. I watched 3 other videos before I found yours and finally understood how it works. Thank you so much for taking time to post this !!!

I have asked for a quote to have a complete bathroom refurbishment which involves gutting and removing the existing furniture and then installing new repositioning the bath tiling separate shower with glass screen and painting part wall. The quote was BDS$12,000 the contractor has asked for 60% deposit he will not be providing anything apart from the labour of his men. The 40% on completion. I am astounded.😳 I will therefore have to provide the tile cement hinges etc... Incredible.. What am I paying the 60% for. Oh and the skip for the rubbish..

Hello I want to start a carrier as a handyman. I want to get some experience before I apply for jobs because everybody wants experienced workers. How can I do this? Should I go to school? If yes, do you know any school in Miami, if not anywhere in the US? Thx

Very good lesson on how to bid direct labor costs. Don’t forget that cost of employment could be 100 percent more than the hourly rate a craftsman wants to pay himself an hour. Example: $16 employee bring home 20 per hour employee rate 35 per hour employer cost 38 for 3 per hour benefits And we haven’t even touched company overhead and profit.

I do $100 for the quote added in price, $900 a day labor rate, materials varies, $50 for picking up materials, $50 a day for each day for gas that I'm on job. This formula works well I'm a mason.

Thanks

I needed this... I've always charged based on difficulty and I've become a pretty good carpenter so I've been underselling my skills smh... straight up Hood prices lol.

I've never seen neat left handed writing lol

Thank you for the hint about the arrow pointing outward! It's really not emphasized in the directions.

We hardly do sq Ft pricing on jobs now especially on renovations. Typically we try to add up what each task takes in hours, then multiply that by our contract rate and it gives us a a great start to the estimate

Raise them prices!

Thank u soooooo much for this handy dandy Dalton. 👍👍👍

You are giving people big advises but can I ask you- Where is in that quote your holliday? Where is your sick leaves? Where is the time when you just around looking for job spend time with the quoting on jobs what you didn't get? Always think that way IF I AM EMPLOYED I WILL HAVE : this much for hour ... that long paid holiday (4 weeks).. that many sick leaves (3 weeks) and then think mere advance lol. You have to pay your car tools and all this what you don't need to pay when you are employed. I know you are paying all this from your rates what you forgot to add on and then from your "$20" is then $10 on end of the year.... The worst is you are sharing this "knowledge".

Thank u Sr , really appreciate it.

perfect vid

Easy charge by the book $65 x hr + material or new construction by square feet $120

Hi if Im a handyman and I need to attend the job but the tenants will not be on the property on the day of booking (they agreed for me to pick up the keys to estate agents office) to let myself in, however it's a bit far, do I need to charge for the pickup and drop off of the keys back to their office?

Thanks I so needed this right now, we where getting frustrated.. but seeing this I can do it on my own. 😊👍

Hey great job you hit many points for me I'm and starting out and I'm in a bad contract it's just my first and I'm still learning so thanks for your help now I still have a few questions about charging is it Labor Hourly pay Material Taxes Travel miles Gas equal what you charge or how that works thanks again

Whatever you would be happy with that’s how much to charge once you do a couple jobs you will automatically get a price in ur head by just looking at what needs done

I’m really struggling. My company is wanting me to determine job hours I’ll need for a job with no material. Just programming PLCs. Shit idk!

Thank u bro, if you save time you save lives.

I laughed when you talked of 20 an hour being too low for your ability drywalling. You need to have different rates for your own abilities. Instead you are attempting to use some random thought process and adjusting to a per job at say 60 an hour for things you are good at. Have varying rates and explain it to them As an example, a 35 year journeyman drywalled working a crew of 5 total will do 10,000 square ft of drywall a day ready to paint. (5 days after start of job 10K feet drop out complete daily). These guys earn 50 an hour or so, in fact union retirement is 60K a year! Meanwhile, it is EASIER to repair 4 ft X 3 ft of sheetrock than a 1 ft square and have it not show. Takes the same time but a little more material. As a contractor in TX I did ONLY time and material jobs in major remodels. It was hard at first, but then customers began to talk to others and realized how much they saved, and that there were never change orders ( a great rip off technique). I explained in the beginning, if we find any "hidden" issues they would have to be fixed but client would be advised before work proceeded. Never had a complaint and never left a hidden issue. Never had to look for work.

very helpful video thanks man

Great, Thank you for your time and effort on this, My wife of 35yrs. Is a left handed and the only thing here thats distracting is the left hand writing, makes me want to watch you do carpentry,
