A handyman services list is worth more to the handyman than to the customer, because the list is what a punch list gets priced against. The list of handyman services below is grouped the way jobs arrive, by room and by trade, and each is a task the work order tool on this site puts hours against, at your rate, with materials and the trip charge on top. Use the handyman jobs list to build your own menu, to decide what you do not do, and to set the hours you quote for the tasks that come up every week.
Doors, walls and fixtures
Hanging and adjusting doors, replacing handles and locks, patching and painting drywall, fitting shelves and closet systems, hanging pictures, mirrors and televisions, assembling furniture, replacing trim and baseboard. These are most of a residential punch list, and each is an hours figure you can set once and reuse.
Kitchens, bathrooms and small plumbing
Replacing faucets, showerheads and toilet parts, resealing tubs and sinks, fixing running toilets and slow drains, swapping disposals, adjusting cabinet doors and drawers, fitting towel bars and accessories. The list of handyman services stops where licensed plumbing starts, and the list should say so.
Exterior and seasonal
Gutter cleaning and minor repairs, fence and gate repair, deck board replacement, weatherstripping, caulking, screen repair, pressure washing small areas, mailbox and house-number fitting, seasonal fixture swaps. Property managers buy these as a recurring list, which is where a price list earns its keep.
Pricing the list
Each item on the handyman jobs list is hours at your rate; the visit adds materials marked up as one line and the trip charge. 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. Run your commonest twenty through the work order tool once and you have your menu and your prices.
