What to include on a handyman invoice

• Your name and contact details
• Client and job address
• Each task with hours or a flat rate
• Materials used
• Tax, total and how to pay

Handyman pricing: hourly with a minimum, or a task menu

Most handymen bill hourly with a minimum charge — commonly one to two hours — because the drive, tools and setup cost the same whether the fix takes 20 minutes or 90. The alternative is menu pricing per task (TV mount, faucet swap, door adjustment), which customers love for predictability. The killer feature of a good handyman invoice is the task list: five one-line items with individual prices reads as five problems solved, where “labor — $450” reads as expensive. Materials are typically billed at receipt cost, sometimes with a pickup fee for the supply run.

Typical handyman charges (US)

Local market and experience level move these around:

• Hourly rate: $50–$100; skilled or licensed trades work runs higher
• Minimum charge / first hour: $75–$150
• TV wall mount: $100–$200 per TV
• Faucet or garbage disposal swap: $100–$250
• Drywall patch (small): $75–$150 per patch, painted
• Materials: at receipt cost; add a supply-run fee ($20–$50) if you shop for the parts

Small-job invoicing that keeps you profitable

• List every task as its own line, even tiny ones — the itemization is your value story
• State the minimum charge policy on the invoice so a 30-minute visit billed at 1 hour is expected
• Attach or reference material receipts; transparency here wins repeat clients
• Invoice same-day, on your phone, before you leave the driveway — collection rates drop with every day you wait
• Batch small requests (“while you’re here…”) into the same invoice with each addition priced
