FLAT-RATE PRICE BOOK FOR HANDYMEN

Price the job,
not the hour.

“How much per hour?” is the worst question you get, because the honest answer scares people off before they know the TV mount is a 90-minute job. Bill hourly and every customer watches the clock; quote loose and the drywall patch that turned into three eats your afternoon for free. A flat-rate price book prices the job — one number for the mount, the patch, the gutter clean.

WHAT A BOOK ROW LOOKS LIKE

The book, one row at a time.

This is what a flat-rate price book for handymen actually looks like — a row per job, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine come straight from the QuoteIron handyman catalog.

These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it handyman flat rate pricing; others want a handyman price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.

Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Fair questions.

Can I edit every price?

Yes — every number. The 50 handyman templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.

Does it work offline?

The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — basements, garages, back bedrooms with one weak bar. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.

What does it cost after the free sample?

The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.

My jobs are all different — does a book even help?

More than you’d think. Most of what you do repeats — the mount, the patch, the knob, the gutter clean — and those are the rows in your book, quoted in seconds. For the genuine one-offs, add a custom line and set the price yourself. The book kills the guessing on the routine stuff.
