Pricing tips for handymans
- A minimum charge protects you on tiny jobs; put it on the quote, not just in conversation.
- Bundle small tasks into one visit with per-task prices so the client can pick.
- Mark up materials to cover collection time and waste — QuoteCraft applies a materials markup without showing it as a separate line.
- Ask for a deposit on larger jobs; the quote shows the deposit amount under the total.

Frequently asked questions
What should a handyman services quote include?
Your business details, the client’s name and job address, a clear description of the handyman services work, each labour and material line with quantity and price, tax, the total, how long the price is valid, any deposit, and what is not included.
Should I charge for writing a quote?
Most tradespeople quote small domestic jobs for free and charge a call-out or survey fee for complex jobs or diagnostics. If you charge, say so before you visit and deduct it from the job if the client goes ahead.
How long should my quote be valid?
Thirty days is common. Use a shorter period (7–14 days) when material prices are moving quickly. QuoteCraft adds the validity date automatically.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price for the work described; an estimate is an informed guess that can change. If the scope is unclear, list assumptions in the notes or give an estimate instead.
