Turn your hourly rate into a clean flat price for any job: time, trip charge, a buffer for surprises and materials with your markup. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Run your ten most common jobs through the calculator and write the prices down. That list is your flat rate manual: quote from it on the phone, and update it when your rate changes. Our flat rate pricing guide has a sample sheet and when not to flat-rate, and the handyman price list has typical ranges to sanity-check your numbers.
Rot, leaks and anything behind a wall you can’t see. Quote a diagnosis visit or an hourly rate with a cap, then switch to a flat price once you know the scope.
