Summary
 Anyone can hang a television. Getting paid properly for it is the whole business.Home repair is one of the easiest trades to start and one of the easiest to run at an accidental loss, because the money leaks out in drive time, parts runs, and jobs quoted by the hour when they should have been quoted flat.Inside:- A flat rate menu built from realistic task times, covering mounting, assembly, faucets, disposals, toilets, grab bars, drywall patching, doors, fans, shelving, and blinds- The minimum service call and trip charge, and the worked comparison of four small jobs against one large job- How state licensing exemptions really work: dollar thresholds, the trades carved out at any price, and how to hand off what you cannot legally touch- The tool kit in the order each purchase pays for itself- Parts markup, who buys materials, and a callback policy that protects the relationship and the margin- General liability plus care, custody, and control coverage, because damaging a customer home is the real risk- What the lead generation platforms cost per booked job, and how repeat clients beat them- A full year of numbers carried to take home pay after self employment tax- A printed forms appendix: estimate and service agreement, a quote worksheet with a worked multi-item job, a booking call intake form, a job-site checklist, a daily scorecard, a time-study sheet, a callback log, and client scripts from first outreach to the review askWho it is for: anyone starting a one person repair business who wants the arithmetic instead of the pep talk.Part of the Main Street Startups line.
