01 — "Overview"
TV mounting, furniture assembly and small fixes are in constant demand and command $60–$100/hr.
02 — "The Crash Course"
- Step 01
Know your state's limit
Many states cap unlicensed handyman work (often $500–$1,000 per job) and ban licensed trades like electrical panels or plumbing. Stay in your lane.
- Step 02
Pick 10 core services
TV mounting, furniture assembly, drywall patches, caulking, door adjustments, fixture swaps, shelving, faucet swaps, painting touch-ups, gutter cleaning.
- Step 03
Set flat rates for common jobs
TV mount $120–$200, furniture assembly $60–$150, drywall patch $150+. Flat rates close faster than hourly.
- Step 04
Launch on TaskRabbit, Thumbtack and Nextdoor
Take smaller jobs early to build reviews, then raise prices as your calendar fills.
- Step 05
Batch jobs by area
Book 3–4 jobs in the same neighborhood on one day to cut drive time.
- Step 06
Partner with realtors and property managers
Pre-listing punch lists and turnover repairs are steady, repeat work.
- Step 07
Photograph every job
Before/after photos become your portfolio and social content.
"The math"
15 jobs/mo × $200 avg = $3,000/mo; realtor punch lists often run $500–$1,500 each.

03 — "How people lose"
