HANDYMAN’S
HANDBOOK
The Complete Guide to
Starting and Running a
Successful Business
DAVID KOENIGSBERG
WHAT A HANDYMAN DOES
As a handyman, you will go to someone’s home or place of business to do
fixing, building, or painting. Typically, you will do several small jobs at each
visit. You may do electrical work or plumbing, patch a leaky roof, repair
doors and windows, erect shelves, service appliances, and fix bikes, toys, and
so on. You may even do some work on automobiles if you have the knowl-
edge and inclination.
One of the most useful things you can do for a customer is to walk around
the inside and outside of the house with your clipboard, a flashlight, and an
ice pick to probe for rot and termite damage, and with binoculars to inspect
the roof, and then make a list of things that need attention. Very few home-
owners will request this service, so you should suggest it. Nowhere is it more
true than with a house that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
especially if you see a place where water is starting to get in that could cause
extensive and expensive damage.
