Handyman invoicing tips
- Set a minimum charge (often 1 hour) so small jobs are still worth the drive.
- Create a price list for common tasks (TV mounting, faucet swap) and bill them as flat rates.
- Check your state's handyman limit – many states cap unlicensed job sizes (for example $500–$1,000).
- Ask for payment before you leave; small invoices are the easiest to forget.
