Needed this. Started my Handyman Service this year and always get told that I'm too cheap, but this week I quoted a woman just a service fee of $50 to fix her roof. She started going off about how steep I was and not very nice. It really made me second guess myself and then quoted a woman and she was like, "I'm gonna pay you more, because you're too cheap" I had to deal with one cheapskate making me question myself. I love your ideas and tops.
It really depends on your area. Yep can be a really good way of finding customers if that's what works in your area. I think a better use of your money if you're looking for paid advertising would be Google LSA ads
I have the same thing. I charge $45 hour for myself, if I have help. I charge more.I have people tell me.I don't charge enough but I feel like if it was me paying ...that would be fair. But this is the least I can charge for my business to make a profit..
The problem is raising prices doesn't help inflation. It proliferates it imo, so if I'm trying to "be the change" I want to see. I'm not trying to raise my rates. I'm trying to do the best I can at the lowest rate possible.

Love the story! We have all been there! Don't let clients determine your value!
Good info. Thanks for sharing
I am glad you found the video helpful!
Hello Lee, is Yelp still a worthwhile way to get leads during this time of year when it slows down?

I always aim for $100/hr but depending on the job sometimes i charge less. I only charge by the job sometimes it works
Charging by the job is the way to go!

Thanks for your comment brother. If you haven't yet I would recommend reading the handyman pricing handbook, that may bring some clarity!
YOU'RE more valuable.
😂😂😂😂 that's one thing I always suck at is the English language!😂😂

I can pull 500 a day. No problem, and that's plenty for me.

A high rate doesn't equal value.
Definitely!
