Price Transparency

None of the locals have any pricing on their websites.  As a customer I hate searching for general pricing.  I'm considering posting my trip fee and pricing for some of the more common tasks a handyman would do. Tough to do for more custom jobs or problematic installs, but it seems that letting a customer know up front that replacing a basic ceiling fan is $99 labor may save them, and me, some time. Thoughts?

  • I will be put some starting prices for more common projects on my website but you'll still have questions.        I have learn that I need to prequalify potential clients by asking what they are looking for and give them an average starting price. It's a really quick way to not waste your time looking at projects. I have a minimum I know I need to make. I know I can only do so much in one day. So If you know with travel and prep and execution it will take 2 hours for even changing a light bulb then start there.
