How to Make Money as a Handyman

There are many benefits to being a handyman or handywoman. You can choose your own hours, and work in the evenings or weekends when you don’t have other commitments. You can make as much money as you want. And the best part is that you get to feel good about helping others by fixing their broken things.

First step to making money as a handyman is to find a niche.

The most popular niches are home repairs, furniture assembly, and window repair. Once you have found your niche, it’s time to start marketing yourself by setting up an online profile and contacting local businesses with ads in the yellow pages.

Second step is to start building a business.

Many handymen charge by the hour and can use these hours for other tasks, like mowing lawns or babysitting. Others find it easier to take on larger projects and charge a lump sum after the project is finished. Then there are those who specialize in one type of home improvement, like flooring installation, and charge more in that area.

Third step is to go out for business.

Some handymen use their time for learning the ropes of their trade and then start taking on projects at home or through word-of-mouth referrals from people they already know. Others take classes, attend trade shows, or build a web presence to show off their talents and get clients in the door. Set clear priorities for your business and don’t put in any more time than is absolutely necessary. When you do get a job or contract, be sure to charge adequately and plan ahead for paying your bills. Home handymen often work on an hourly basis, but don’t forget to factor in the cost of materials—you can always ask your client to pay you with a personal check.
