Most of what a search for a handyman pricing guide returns is written for the homeowner, a table of what a handyman should cost, and it is useless to the handyman because the numbers are somebody else's. This handyman pricing guide is for the person sending the quote: build the hourly rate from your own costs, put hours against the tasks you do most, add the trip charge and the materials rule, and print the handyman price list PDF you hand to a property manager. The tools on this site do the arithmetic from your figures and publish no market rate.
Start with your rate, not a table
The handyman pricing guide PDF you download from a vendor was built on someone else's costs in someone else's city. Yours starts with the year's fixed costs plus the wage you want, divided by the hours you will bill. The handyman quote tool on this site takes that rate and prices every visit from it.
Hours against the common tasks
A price list is a list of tasks with hours next to them: hang a door, fit a faucet, patch and paint a wall, assemble the wardrobe. The work order tool turns a punch list into hours; run your twenty commonest tasks through it once and the hours become your handyman price list PDF, priced at your rate.
The trip charge and the materials rule, printed
The price list states the trip charge, the minimum, and how materials are charged: at cost plus a stated markup, tax on materials where your state charges it. On the quote tool's worked example, three hours at $75 is $225 of labor, $85 of materials marked up comes to $102, the trip charge is $35 and sales tax is charged on the materials only, and the deposit to book is shown beneath the total. A property manager who reads those three rules once stops asking about them.
Revise it when the costs move
Insurance and fuel move every year, and a handyman pricing guide that does not is a discount you did not intend. Keep the rate calculation and rerun it each January; the list reprints from the new rate. From the vendor's own pricing page, Jobber Core is $49 per month billed month to month and includes one user, each additional user is $29 per month, and Jobber Connect is $139 per month. PunchListWorks Pro is $49 per month for the whole crew, and every tool on this site works free with no account.
Questions people ask about handyman pricing guide
Is this handyman pricing guide for homeowners?
No. It is for the handyman building his own rate and price list; homeowner cost tables are a different page for a different reader.
Where do I get a handyman price list PDF?
Build it: the work order tool gives hours per task, the quote tool prices them at your rate, and Pro prints the list under your logo. The tools are free without the branding.
How often should the pricing guide PDF change?
Whenever your costs do, and at least yearly; the rate calculation is the part to rerun.
