You're not just a handyman. You're an entrepreneur, a youtube content creator, a dad/husband, a jack of all trades, and a skilled craftsman

[batbawls]

I don't know how I managed to do this but I think I just stumbled upon the #1 handyman youtube channel in the entire galaxy. Not even extraterrestrial handyaliens can top this channel

[deanstephens]

For some reason, I just happened to stumble upon your channel. Glad I did!! I worked as a maintenance tech and director for several years and always enjoyed talking to my customers every step of the way. My back gave out because of spondylosis, but if I could work on a low pressure boiler or a water loop heating and cooling system just one more time before I get the dirt kicked over me, it would make me a happy man. I loved my work, and it makes me happy to see you living what you do! Be well, my friend, and thanks for the videos

I've been noticing the same thing. The few new customers I've been able to take on are saying my bid was on lower end of estimates. The shortage of good reliable skill trade guys is at a all time low and only getting worse. Know what your time and skills are worth in your area. Making 6 figures working on your own in this trade is not hard at all. Great customer service, quality work and just word of mouth will give you more work than your able handle. Customers are willing to wait to get on your schedule.

Yeah I recently increased my prices... same time my favorite restaurants all went up by 25% gas prices up 40% mortgage rates up 500%... I wouldn't have done it but if you don't do it, you're going out of business.

Are you the handyman Dave Ramsey talks about? The guy who’s as reliable as the sunrise and crushes it on income…

[nickolascortijo]

I've started my own handyman business about 2 years ago. I have found the same issue about pricing. I actually had a customer ask me about repairing some siding and sheathing because of some water damage. She told me the lowest bid she got was for $9000. I offered to do it for $4000 +materials. 4 hours later, she handed me a check. I don't know who some of these handyman and contractors are out here are that are giving these crazy prices, but I hope they don't go anywhere lol.

[Elendris]

that sprinkler repair was hilarious 😂 everything you touched started falling apart

[ttgk]

My dad does home remodeling and he's booked out 1yr solid and he turns down work on a weekly basis. I pick up small jobs he turns away and customers will pay just about any price I quote them. Crazy times

[AllenBlackwood]

It's crazy what people are willing to pay in these cases! A little common sense plus a couple youtube videos watched would have saved these people hundreds of dollars. My kitchen sink began leaking just last week. I watched it leak for a couple minutes and determined the putty was dried out just like in this video and replaced it myself in minutes. I couldn't imagine paying $500.

I have this roto router guy .
He has 3 drain snake in his van.
And various plumbing tool .

Basic charge to unclog drain is $250 . Usually 30 min .
More than 30 min is another per hour charge .
He routinely get 4 call a day.
Plus miscellaneous plumbing job .

He is definitely doing better than office job people.

He has $5-10K in tools plus the van.
Definitely beat the $50K to 100k in student loan

I find that vacuum breakers are prone to having residual water that causes them to crack. I design my sprinklers with a union before and after the vacuum breaker. Takes under one minute to remove and take inside every winter. Never need to worry about it.

I'm new to this channel..kinda stumbled on to it looking at furnace repairs. I started out as a handyman in 2002 with no experience. Before that I cleaned pools in Phoenix. I hated traffic so moved to a small town in Ohio called Fostoria. It really dried up in 2010 during that last recession, so I moved near a bigger city and found that my HVAC and plumbing skills were in demand. I doubled my yearly wages but rarely make $2000 a day...maybe $3000 a week when the going is good. I got my state HVAC license in 2013. I work in residential. I install furnaces, water heaters, drains and water supply from the street. I'm highly skilled. I'm actually surprised that a handyman can make $2000 a day...anywhere...that would never fly around here...there isn't that kind of money as the mean income standard is less than $50k per household. There is a 10 to one ratio of pro HVAC and plumbing companies to every handyman for hire. Farmers and laborers here do it themselves. Recently a new Handyman just starting up has a really nice van, so they must have the same pricing you do...wow! Is the secret living in a giant metropolitan area? Places like Cincinnati, Columbus.. I would think, everybody out of work would throw a ladder in a truck and buy a cordless drill and a hammer-you know...instant handyman for 4 hire, but if $2000 a day is a reality, people are wasting there time going to college...wow! Go to trade school instead. I love being a handyman, but $60 - $80 hr ... $150 to $300 hr? where?

Ya I made 1, 500 in one day of popcorn removal charging 1.50 a square foot (which is the standard charge). Standard charge for installing vinyl plank flooring is about 2.50 per sq ft and I can comfterably do 3-400 sq ft in a 6-7 hour day after factoring in transition, quarter round, caulking etc. Pretty common actually. I've been paid $100 an hour with a 4 hour minimum (so I charged him $400 because I was on way to another job but he basically begged me) to manually dig a hole for a sump pump because there's no one else to do it, it had to be done manually because if the restricted space with a shovel/post hole digger. Took me 45 minutes but i told him I couldn't push off my other job for any less than $400 because ide have to reschedule and they could potentially cancel.

Good time to be a contractor/handyman/laborer because the average contractor in America is like 55. I started as soon as I got out of the army at 22 years old, turned 29 last week. Paid off me and my wife's vehicles, bought and paid off three trailers, all my tools, debts, and bought a house and extra land all during the highest housing market spike in history just being a handyman/flooring contractor. All before 30. And I don't really do plumbing or electrical, mostly flooring, painting, drywall, fencing, decking etc. Pretty much average 70-100 an hour these days. Of course I'm licensed, insured and incorporated though. My county doesn't let you do anything without it all.

Every time I see one of these videos i'm reminded I need to teach my kids various simple household replacements... Like the garbage disposal! They may not make handyman money off it but i'm sure in the future it'll save a few bucks.

[doobielawson]

Your knowledge and skill is exceptional. I'm struggling just trying to install an interior door. I'm not very good with my hands unfortunately.

[Luigi]

It is good to have someone like yourself who does these type of jobs? Because a water damage or any sort of problems when it goes out of hand can make life harder for some customers. Good job.

[somenecool]

Hey man I really appreciate your videos! I am thinking about starting my own handyman business and have already took a few steps in that direction. I believe I have all the experience necessary to start my own business. I grew up working with my father who owned his own business as a general contractor. Have done everything from fencing, foundation, flooring, framing, roofing, add ons, and even working on my grandmother’s rent houses. I currently work as a maintenance man for an apartment complex and I only make $14.75/hr. Which equals about $34, 000 a year. It’s become very apparent to me that I can make so much more than I do at the moment if I just do it by myself. I like to believe My quality of work is well above my co-workers due to the fact that previously working for my father I understood most business is by word of mouth so you have to present a good quality work. I constantly have to go behind my fellow workers to fix their mistakes and getting in trouble for their screw up which leads to me doing almost double the work. My question is, with these certain skills I possess, do you believe it would be possible to do my own thing. I know it is possible but I would like to hear from someone who knows exactly what it takes! I appreciate all your time and effort you put into this channel to help people like me.

Fellow handyman here. In the Metro Detroit area in Saint Clair Shores. I am booked solid 3-4 months out and can't even keep up with the demand. There is great money to be made. Also alot of hacks out there doing shifty work.

[reellegacy]

I second that. This is an awesome channel I work in apartment maintenance going on 10 years. Never gets old.
