About this example handyman estimate
The example is a four-part punch list: rehanging three doors, four drywall patches, two light fixtures, and a trip charge. Each task has its own flat price, so the customer can drop one without the whole estimate changing.
How to estimate handyman work
Price each task on its own line rather than one hourly total. Customers can see what each fix costs, and you can drop or add tasks without rewriting the estimate. Add a trip charge to cover small jobs.

Should handymen charge a minimum?
