Handyman work is hard to price because every call is different — but the jobs repeat. The same TV mount, faucet swap, or drywall patch comes up week after week, and quoting each one from scratch is how you lose money on the small stuff and underprice the big stuff.
A price list gives you a floor, a flat-rate range, and a service-call minimum so any job gets quoted consistently — whether you're on the phone or standing in the customer's hallway.

Set your own floor — margin guide
| Cost component | Working range |
|---|---|
| Labor cost per hour | $[set your number] |
| Materials markup | 15% – 35% |
| Minimum job / service call | $75 – $150 |
| Target gross margin | 50% – 65% |
Your flat rate should clear your hourly floor after materials and travel. If a flat job dips below it, raise the rate or bill hourly.
