Check the links in the description about employee salary's. A lot report the median salary. That means that 50% make less than that number and 50% make more than that number. See the old livestreams here www.patreon.com/thehandyman
Have over 100 satisfied customers with great reviews . But not many referrals am I targeting the wrong customers ?
@@noahholt482 You have to tell your customers to refer you. Come up with a spiel they you say to every customer. Something along the lines of " My only advertising comes from happy customers. Please tell your friends and family about the work I can do for them. " You have to remind them too. Also follow up with a thank you email to every customer and agan remind them to tell their friends and family.
“ My plan to get out” I guess was a catchier title than, “How I got in”?
One problem I come across is now that our country is in hyperinflation, most customers are in sticker shock for an r&r of a water heater, where it's running around $3500.00 dollars for everything, including the installation labor !!
What's your IG channel?
Make sure, if you’re in the trades, that you’re eating properly and doing yoga/stretching. Maybe even see a physical therapist. Yes it taxes your body, but you can minimize the damage with preventive care. Keep your weight on point. Eat healthy foods. Stretch stretch stretch and get good sleep.
I’ve always been curious about this because the typical tradesman is a chain smoking, alcoholic who lives off of fast food and gas stations. Most I’ve met couldn’t give a fuck less about taking care of themselves.
I really don't even think it is that taxing if you treat your body properly and use good form. Larry Haun was doing carpentry into his 80's and moving better than guys I see on the job site in their 20s.
(I also think a lot of the food people eat today is basically poison compared to what real food is)
From my teens to 39 I felt like thunder, I was a damn machine. And one day the man upstairs snapped his fingers and from that day forward, I knew I was mortal :(
I'm dreading it also
I've been in remodeling since 2001. Worked for contractors probably 17 out of 21 years. The last two years for myself. Just turned 40 and it's been so nice choosing my homeowner's and jobs. I was just sick of the crappie homeowner's and not being in control of the entire project. I'm hoping to do furniture in my shop and possibly photography. There was no way my body would make it. The best part, I have so much time for my kids! I'm good after 20 plus. I don't regret any of it, it made me strong throughout my life.
A key element is to make sure you take care of your body, especially if you are in a trade. Example: wearing ear protection, knee pads ext.. Take collagen for your joints and make sure to stretch in the morning before work. Little things like this can help so much over time! I love doing hands on work, especially if you have a mentality of serving your community. Eventually I want to get out of the field but I enjoy having a practical skill and learning. Literally everyday I see and do something new
I have my own business and property management company and couldn’t agree more. I love doing something physical for at least 1-4 hrs per day. It keeps me grounded in this digital world. High demand for good work right now.
I owe you so much for your advice and encouragement. I backed into this as a landlord in 2008 and now my 3rd year in business as a home repair/ one man show. I've never had it so good in my life just because I listened to your business tips and charge a lot more.
I thought it was just me
Apprentice plumber ..barely
They have me basically as a driver for a 30 maybe late 20s year old man that has a DUI. Pathetic..I’ve lost hope..I want to be my own boss…believe me I do
@@sloppyjonuts9162 no you’re just a snowflake..
I did 30 years straight running my own Limousine hire business. I got out at 50 years old when Uber decimated the industry. I got my carpenters licence and am now a registered builder with the government authority. I now do remodelling and all types of handyman work and love it. Money is not the motivation and that is the key why I am so happy to do this at 53 years old now. The manual labour doesnt bother me and will keep going until it does. I enjoy the interaction with customers and finishing with high quality that exceeds customers expectation. The most lucrative work for me now is hanging doors. That is the niche I am milking and earning 3k a week for 20 to 30 hrs, beacuse I have no competetion, and all doors eventually need replacing. When I see a peckerhead driving down the road in a Ferrari I quietly think to myself he is driving a Ferrari but can he hang a door? The joy when a door is finished and smoothly closes shut for the first time is like a woman giving birth. Ill finish with the classic saying that is true for all in this game "It s not how you start its how you finish".
I feel like I’m not buying your story…
@@sundog8772 what story? What are you on about?
3k a week on 20 hrs niceeeee
I’m 51 years old been in the trades sense 19 years old I’ve had 2 back surgeries my shoulder is shot and my knee hurts so think hard about it before you get into it.
Key take- away..... Don't be average.... I do floor covering repairs and carpet repairs and restretches... I average per hour worked $100.00 per hour. I am debt free sans the house. I don't work 8 hour days. I usually work 3-4 hour days on average. Some days less and some days more. Get DEBT FREE. I have lots of spare time to get other ventures launched.
That's a great niche profession. High demand. Low overhead. High net income. Take care of your knees.
I got into Welding Inspection and Commercial Building Inspection about 6 years ago when I was 42. Lots of climbing around, lots of driving, but no heavy lifting. Better than a desk job for me since I move around a lot. Money is good- not quite 6 figures, but good enough for my needs and then some. Certs are everything in my field. After years of hard work as a roadie, carpenter, and welder this is easy breezy. Get some Certs!
how does one get into welding inspection?
Look into CWI and non destructive testing certs
Don't worry...you'll need 7 figures soon with this inflation shit.
@@AnthonyAlvarado78 Inflation is temporary.
@@briansaben5697 hahaha good joke. Just like how assistance programs are temporary.
I knew a guy who was roofing at 78 still, he only retired because they forced him too. He never wanted to stop doing manual labor.
They should have never made him stop!
That's incredible. When I was young I worked with some old WWII combat vets in their 70s laying 12 inch block in the brutal sun and high humidity. One of them advised to me _"Son, get yourself a nice office job inside..."_
My time was 45. It was overnight, one day fine next day everything hurt.
There is no short cuts.
Go out and fix stuff.
See how things go together.
Learn the order in which things get done .
Follow through with jobs. Do what it takes to get it done in timely manner .
It's the Start that stops most people. It's no different than buying a model car and putting in the extra little detail to make the job look great instead of good
When I was 16 years old, I rebuilt a carburetor on my 1973 Mazda RX4. I tell folks today that was far more complicated than anything I have done in remodeling homes.
Excellent Advice!
Handyman I only found you a few months ago after I retired. 37 years in telecom and I always was a diy guy, plus worked on countless church projects with pros in their respective field. So I know what you’re saying about how to estimate time to do a job. I respect your views and appreciate your advice as I consider myself a novice in running my own handyman business. The key is set your goals. Mine are different than yours but the same principles apply to doing great customer service. In just a few months I already have repeat business from my first few customers. There are so many bad ‘drunks with pickup trucks’ to use one of your lines that just being presentable and doing the job right will pay dividends. Best of luck and I look forward to each video.
Another transition for the handymen out there is to get into owning rentals, then you can maintain everything yourself and often at your own pace.
Right on the mark Handyman! "Go out there and learn how it's really done." It takes TIME to LEARN - patience and perseverance. Lots of great take-aways from your videos! I've watched every single one on both channels. Now, I may have to join Patreon 😆 Great to have you back on CZcams!
So insightful as always. Thanks for the awesome content!.. Never was a "skilled trade" type of worker, but have many hours with my dad who was, and bought a "fixer upper"... learned so much here and "on the job"
This is good stuff. Iv been in the skilled manual labor world for nearly ten years. I'm nearing 30. Im working on transitioning into being more of a leader than a laborer. It's a whole different deal. Thanks for making this it gives me something to look forward to.
I think we’d all love to here all the “stories”!
great video handyman. Looking forward to the live stream. As always, I appreciate your knowledge.
A simple Thank you is needed. Great honest info. 20 years in the trades back breaking, knee damaging labor.
What is great about this video is that I think the wisdom being shared in this video is applicable for even those of us in the non-manual labor camp-though the path for independence is less obvious sometimes.
Great advice for anybody in the business. The #1 handyman knows his stuff!
Great video just got into construction as a supervisor then a assistant superintendent I used to lay turf in the summers and I worked a pressure washing job for 8 months. It's nice that I have somewhat a experience dealing with customers and knowing certain things. I'm only 21 and I actually love working construction and I wanna run my own job one-day. Manual labor is hard work and that's why I always give our subs the utmost respect
I worked as a maintenance technician for a 178 unit apt complex for 10 years. We did everything in house and taught me a ton. 3, almost 4 years in business now and love it.
Ordered 6 mugs. Will make great gifts for my vendors! Thanks Handyman!
Good to see yo back, great advise, thanks Handyman!
A good place to grow as a handyman is with big property managers. Their contractor applications are usually online and super easy. There is not a lot of pressure working in a house where there is a tenant or no one at all. Also the jobs will be mostly very simple, toilet valve, garbage disposals, etc.
Best vid I’ve ever seen on biz side. Excellent thank you
Excellent video...you speak the real, raw truth.....you are a great resource of real world experience....Listen up folks, this man knows what he is taking about...only wish I had this resource 30 years ago....
Im just a homeowner but I love all aspects of home improvement. I often find what separates the regular-Joe (who has done a few repairs) and a skilled labor person is not only knowing the skills of the trade but also knowing the codes and how to do something “right”. I love your idea of /learning on someone else’s dime/ and /knowing how much to charge for a job/ - very cool, thank you sir.
PS I have a desk job but I like to know the inner workings of how homeowner contractor folks think
Who owns the business where you work? Check him / her out, that's how we think.
the whole concept of apprenticeship. need to put in time and learn before going out and starting a business.
@@chrisburns5691 I think it’s the low skill blue collar guys (warehouse/manufacturing guys, or even commercial demo guys, drywallers or framing guys) that typically give it the bad name. They have that trade adjacent job or even a lower tier trade job (usually on the commercial side, where their fuck ups are easy to hide) so they claim they can handle ANY residential job with ease. Usually butchering plumbing, finish carpentry, electrical and tile jobs.
Your right it’s like watching professional athletes. They make it look effortless and they have the right tools for the job. Safety is usually a high priority, says a lot as well.
Love the info and wisdom! Thank you sir
Good lord when you talked about hiring employees and being the only guy on a crew who had never been to prison. I was working as a steel worker in western PA I was college help at the time. My entire crew had some felony or another. A lot of fun working with them though. In terms of hiring it feels impossible anymore.
Share it brother! Truth Spoken,, good advice for all folks looking to be their own boss and how its really done!
Your live streams are great. You read and answer questions in the chat which is super cool 🖖😎.
Good to cya Handyman it's been awhile, as always great information!
Everything you have said is so true! I burned my body out after 40 years. Complete hip replacement and fused back. I’ve yet been able to retain quality workers inspite of paying well, and trying to keep it like “family”. There’s far too many sad stories with their life stories. Just trying to keep the drugs, alcohol, probation issues, and general rude behavior out of the customers presence. It’s mind boggling!!
I’m done with trying to convince people to act right and work.
Then do the work yourself. Stop living off your employees' work by hiding behind "business ownership". If you own the business then do your business, don't hire others to do your business for you. Feudalism is dying. All workers should own their work and pay.
I have a desk job however on weekends I help my stepdad with his concreting business as a labourer, it’s not all glitz and glory like they portray it to be.
Been watching you for awhile now. Stay awesome my dude.
Very good video! You provided excellent advice to anyone wanting to go out one their own.
Good to see you back
Great video Handyman, you turned me on to markate and it changed my business in a big way hat's off to you
Thanks for the knowledge!
Before going out on my own many years ago, I too was often the only one who hadn't went to prison on the jobsite 😂 if you think drunk people at a bar are bad, get a look at Joe, drunk at 7am running a concrete saw lmao.
Great information! Thank you for sharing this knowledge/wisdom! Ju da man!
Truer words were never spoken my friend, Great Job!
One of the most informative videos about this field I’ve ever seen. Social media can be your best friend and worst enemy. To any young guy listen to this and be well rounded and be patient it won’t happen overnight in most cases.
Great vid. Great points. Well done
This definitely resonates with me as I am in that age range of 30-40. I know the soar back and joints all too well and chose to focus more on refinishing and updating. I sub out all flooring and tile work and charge in the higher end of my comfortability. Wealthy people want to know they are getting what they pay for. But yes I am looking at other aspects of the business that are less labor intensive and profitable like making my own cabinets and doors on cnc. We will see if the current market in the area can support it...
Look into mold mitigation for water damage...$2800- $12,000 a week...average.....I come in, tear out the water damaged areas, photograph the mold...take a sample and send it to ProLabs overnight....If it is 10 square feet or more it must be treated as toxic....I.Use an approved antimicrobial mold killer (never use germicidal bleach), install a containment barrier (3 mil plastic) and place an air scrubber within the containment barrier for 7 days.....charge $400 a day..Insurance doesn't even blink at the charge....
CNC cabinets is volume work. So are CNC doors.
You have to learn how to make and sell fancy doors, systematize it, and find someone who will not be intelligent enough to steal your system to do it for yoy.
Yet another great and informative video, thank you! Would you consider doing the come and take it mug as a t shirt?
Thanks for the advice everything you said is spot on.
I just subscribed! You are preaching the God honest truth! There’s levels and seasons to this!
Thanks for this. I started off as working in an auto body shop of my classmate's dad at 14. Started doing carpet as a helper at 16 then hardwood and tile after that. At 17 I started framing in the Arizona summer. It really only takes a couple of years to learn any of the trades. I recommend working for at least a half dozen people in different trades. Finally I worked for a high end architect who shifted me to running the business and crew instead of doing the labor. You have tons of advice.
Great advice!
I Started working in my family building business at 15 and understood business quite well at 20/21 and was working as a subcontractor for other builders. then after 2 years returned to the family business as the project manager, estimator etc ran the business from 24-28 when i injured my back and havent worked in manual labour since. now i am studying Business
Wow tons of helpful knowledge in this videos ,for instance if you are asking how long then you are not ready absolutely true
I got into all this is to eventually be a builder and do little to no labor. But somewhere along the way I fell in love with the labor side of the work. Sheathing roofs in the sunlight with the shirt off feeling like Tarzan. So it's easy to lose sight of the original exit plan. But it is the wise thing to do
I agree. I got into swimming pool service over 20 years ago to put myself through college. Quickly quit school because I love being out in the sunshine (and rain) being paid to get fit and tan. Love it!
I’d rather be sore and achy at fifty with knee replacements and arthritis than be the overweight fella who spent the last 30 years sitting in a chair 8 hours a day dying of heart disease. Motion is lotion. Two sides of the equation. Thanks for the content.
Agreed.
Maybe he plans to be between that spectrum
Doesn't matter how much you move if your diet is shit. Pretty sure there are plenty of people with office jobs who are a lot healthier than you
Agree. There’s so much info out there on how to take care of your body at an older age w/the proper diet, stretches and breathing exercises. I honestly feel like construction workers will be like the athlete’s nowadays who were to prolong their careers compared to previous generations.
Just because you sit at a computer for 8 hours doesn't mean you're gonna be obese lmao that's dumb. It's called working out after work.
Great video, thank you.
Good luck with the channel.
I work at a Bio-Refinery, the welders make about $80,000 a year and with overtime they make $100,000 plus. With experience you can build a business and then hire a few people and train them in and manage the business and get out of the physical part of doing the work. You can grow the business as large as you like if you can manage work, money and people, it is a full-time job running a company.
@@sparksmcgee6641 Well inherently people are motivated to get the most for the least, so in a way everyone is a cheapskate.
Your videos are really informative. Customer service is so important to long term business success.
well there handyman, i really like your videos. i like how you take the time to explain and show to young men/persons about learning . i believe you're trying to get them to learn how to think... cause that's how you succeed in life... i appreciate that. you discuss how a lot of young persons (and i was young once) fail to apply self discipline to their life and end up in trouble before they even start out and then they almost kinda just give up and just start grabbing at the easiest and cheapest shiny and fun thing in front of them. then others kinda become so fixed in their ways and methods that they never are able to adapt and learn new better and faster ways or work with new materials... in the end, business is the same as trust between persons. the more you build up the trust someone has in your skills, knowledge and ability (ska) then the more they will pay you for that...you are absolutely right as well that a person needs to track their time, material costs, and tools... it is very important as that is how you able to give honest and valued answers to honest questions about value and costs which is how you build trust....
Im 2 years into manual labor. I started in asbestos, lead, and mold union then residential. Took a break for 2 years because of pandemic, but now I’m back into water damage, mold, and clean demo I only want to work hard like this for about 5-10 more years and get out. Im 23 years old Hearing you say this has definitely set off a light bulb, and I need to learn as much as I can in these next 5 to 10 years to get out.
Just caught up, watched them all. Great channel!
Manual labor is what separates men from the boys. Growing up on a farm and stacking hay and now being a framer for 10 years is something I would not give up. It teaches you ethic and how to power through. It's also very rewarding
I wouldnt say that lol Work smarter not harder a web dev lift a finger makes 60-300k a labor worker lifts a truck makes 20-70k
@@SireMoringstar you can do well in both fields. Coding jobs are more prone to replacement from AI. Self employed tradesman can do very well, well into 6 figures, if they can actually run a profitable business.
@@chrisburns5691 I suppose but it can also open jobs to people willing to adapt to evolve ai
thank for the info on Markate... definitely going to check this out
I hear ya handyman, started painting at 21 and I will be 53 this year. Started a renovation company about 5 years ago and making decent money doing paint, drywall and trimwork, but the joints are really starting to ache the last 2 years
Building inspection is the way to go!
Thank you. This very valuable information.
Just subbed, keep em coming
I'm 63. This man is telling the truth!
Pay attention to every single trade. Even your own trade.
As a self employed GC. You don't have to know how to wire a house, but you better know when Sparky is lying!
Greg, that last line.... That's a OG line 👍🏻😅
Bro your right on point on everything you said.
Man you know I had to order a couple of those mugs when I saw that. Nice!
I've talked wages with a fair amount of contractors and it varies significantly. Some pay little over minimum wage and wonder why their turn over is really high. Others pay way above the average because they would rather have high retention on high quality workers than have to keep hiring. Those that choose to pay, who know how to do the business side of things well, tend to grow and retain costumers.
Awesome video. I haven't really made any financial videos. People prefer my tool videos more... LOL. But as a financial planner and business consultant. I always tell people that their exit strategy is just as important as getting started. In addition to that, when starting a business, ALWAYS work in the field first. Get paid to 1. Learn, as you said and 2. Figure out whether you REALLY like this type of work or not!
Again, great video!
Been using Markate for 2 years now. Well worth the cost.
Man good advice!!!!
Coming up on 31. I’m hurting. Eyeing my field exit in the next 5 years, working on expanding to keep my company rolling :)
I am 42. Started serioisly sweeping chimneys in 2018. 2019 I patterned my job after most of the industry in the USA.
Nobody in my area was doing other than the old school push brush and use the homeowners ladder. I got insurance, certifications, LLC, spent tons of time talking to guys who offered phone advice. Now its repairs, relining, installing, inspections.
Hey Handyman,
How many cans of WD-40 do I need to lubricate my tree stand?
Hey man great video, good information. Would you say all that you said applies to being an automotive technician as well, ( asking as a tech myself)
loved this video bro, so many clueless posers in the worlds, this one and the real one. Keep keeping the secret. It's not free, cost me my body, insulation, retrofit residential new res and commercial architectural coatings for 12 years then worked at a general as foreman for 9 while doing mobile VW repair on the side to gain more savvy, then worked at VW shop to learn how they got successful. Finally after all that and more, I am flipping old school VWs at almost 49 years old, spending every cent I make on tools am now finally making a go at my passion.
New Subscriber. I'm a retired Locksmith that understands where you are coming from. You give some Great Advice. Good Luck finding your way out. I'm 73 and the phone still rings daily.
Yep. In any line of work. I agree, people should learn how the business is run and works
looking forward to all those stories about your employees :D
Can you do a livestream of all the crazy stories you referred to like you did back in the day from your boat?
Great video handyman
True words
We made this guy rich watching all of his videos... He doesn't need us anymore lol. Were the fools...
Genius
I thought you wrote we are "the tools"
You got it
We ain’t no fools we helping another man out!
Under 1 million views per video, he's not making much!
I am 54 and still love working my ass off. I love making people smile when they see my work. I have been working on an 8 Million Dollar Home once owned by Joe Hardy (Owner of 84 Lumber ).Good quality workmanship is priceless. Take Care.
Keep at it, never retire.
I started out late (50) with my own business. I am now 58.... I have been in the trades off and on for 42 years, usually when I needed extra money. I never realized How much can be made as an owner. I have been averaging 142,000 the last few years with a profit range of 70% to 90%.....My biggest income comes from Mold Remediation/Mitigation and Restoration......I have backed off the restoration part and just farm it out for a piece of the profit...The mold mitigation averages $2800 per home per week...... Finding that special niche that pays good money for not too much physical labor is a godsend.....I really think you should do a more in depth show about people finding their best skill and using it to their best advantage. I like your advice and reality checks for people. Thank you for that
hired two guys last week. One worked 2 days and left...one told me he couldnt start until this week and never showed LOL...its a huge challenge...I'm moving towards building spec homes and just subbing everything out...I truly love framing but I cant do it forever im 44 and my back, and feet are about shot. Love your vids man you speak truth and wisdom

But how much are you paying.
@@LoneWolfRanging $20 to $25 per hour. thats great money in my city. and these guys werent worth $13 an hour in my opinion
Have you considered the Vietnamese business model? Just hire your family members to do the work. The benefits are everyone works with the common goal of growing the business and the benefits go to all members, family members generally have a good work ethic and possibly well educated, and the chance of a family member being a former convict is about zero. The primary downside is your business only grows to how big your family is.
Your honesty is appreciated sir, I commend you. Fake social media world...love it!
I worked my butt off during my 20’s unloading trucks and working in HVACR installation and service. I finally figured that I couldn’t crawl through attics until retirement so I saved up and went back college.
I'm amazed at the simplicity of your content, as well as the way its delivered. At 55, I'm an employee and hate it. Insee all the money and freedom that's afforded those that are self employed. I've been self employed on several occasions.
The first was at the age of 24. Broke into subbing from a carpenter contractor. Doing simple roof sheeting. LOVED IT. I was smashing it.
After that got into comp shingles. Laborer and then shingler. Then within a year was on my own. At 26 was smashing it again. 1800-2500 a week in 95.
Surfed in KC then to Phoenix. Did the union thing. Carpenter
Not my gig. Went out as a handyman. After working for others.
Remodeling
Additions.
Renovations.
Wood rot
And so on.
I seem to be comfortable with the guy who can handle all the ADMIN.
SO.....QUESTION....
how to be self employed and not get all wrapped up in the congestion of Administration crap?
I wanna work and make money. Great money. But working for another guy...(?)? He takes all the credit and my money.
I make cash.
40$ it's been on and off for a couple years. I work on the books. Then off. Here and there.
As in said. At 55....the bags are getting heavy man. The knees and the shoulders are feeling the pain. My work is super clean. Question 2. I've seen some hack work. Questionable at best. Makes me wince. I dont want may name on that crap.
What is one to do.?
Especially with be able to BID the right/RESPECTFUL price.
Thanks
