Filling it in for a handyman job
- Add your business and your customer. Type your business name, then the customer's name, their cell or email, and the job address.
- List the job line by line at your own prices. One line per task: "Hang and trim interior door", "Patch and paint drywall, hallway", "Mount TV on customer's bracket", "Assemble dresser". Add materials you'll buy on their own lines. Not sure of one? Leave it empty: it shows Needs price and can't go out at zero.
- Tap Send to customer and sign up. Nothing to type again. Your customer gets the estimate as a link, signs online and pays any deposit straight to you.
The example handyman lines are marked Sample price. Keep them or set your own before anything goes out.
What your customer sees
The preview shows what your customer gets. Download PDF gives you a printable copy. On their phone they see your business name, each task with your price, materials, the tax line, the total, and a deposit if you turned one on. Then a place to sign.
With a list of small jobs, a customer may want to trim it. Because every task has its own price, they can see what each one costs before they sign, rather than haggling over one lump sum.
The deposit switch is off until you turn it on. It can help when you buy a door, fixtures or lumber before the visit. You choose how customers pay you after you sign up.
Tips for handyman pricing
- One task, one line. It keeps the estimate readable and makes it easy to drop or add a job without redoing the rest.
- Cover your travel. If you charge a trip charge or minimum visit, list it rather than hiding it in the tasks.
- Mark customer-supplied items. Charge for the install, not the part, and say so.
- Say what could change the price. Rot behind trim or a stud that isn't where it should be: tell the customer before they sign, and agree any extra in writing.
- Send it before you leave. The customer can sign while the list is still fresh.

Questions
Is the handyman estimate maker free?
Yes. Fill in a handyman estimate and download it as a PDF without signing up or giving an email. To send it to a customer for signature, you create an account at that step. No card is needed to start.
Can I put several small jobs on one estimate?
Yes. Add each task as its own line, such as "Hang interior door" or "Patch drywall, hallway", with your price. The customer sees what each one costs and the total for the whole visit.
Should I price by the task or by the hour?
Either works. For a task price, enter quantity 1 and your price. For hourly work, enter the hours as the quantity and your hourly rate as the price. Put "(estimated hours)" in the line name.
Can my customer sign the handyman estimate online?
Yes. You send it as a link by text or email. Your customer opens the estimate on their phone, checks each task and the total, and signs it there. They don't need an app or an account.
What if the customer is supplying the parts?
Add the item as a line and write "customer-supplied" in its name, then price only the labor to install it. That makes clear you are not charging for the part itself.
