Your price book, ready in minutes
Start with your own items and prices. For example, a handyman might add:
| TV mounting | $150 |
| Drywall patch (small) | $175 |
| Furniture assembly | $120 |
| Faucet replacement | $250 |
| Fence repair | $300 |
| Door install | $350 |
Example prices only — you set yours. Import your list from a spreadsheet in seconds.
Example: A "honey-do list" visit with seven small jobs
The customer has a list: a dripping faucet, two doors that stick, a TV to mount, a towel bar, caulk in the tub and a ceiling fan. You price each one so they can drop what they don't need.
| Faucet repair | $125 |
| Door adjustment × 2 | $120 |
| TV mounting | $150 |
| Towel bar install | $55 |
| Re-caulk tub | $140 |
| Ceiling fan install | $200 |
| Total | $790 |
Each task is its own line from your price book, so the customer approves the list online and you see exactly what's in and out before you load the truck.
An example to show how it works — prices and steps are yours to set.
What customers ask a handyman
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
Either works in Selk. Many handymen use a minimum visit plus per-task prices.
Can you bring the parts?
Add parts as material lines so the customer sees them and tax applies correctly.
Can you come back for more work later?
Yes — the client's history in Selk shows everything you already did for them.
Tips for your handyman business
- Set a minimum visit price so small jobs across town still pay.
- Bundle many small tasks into one visit; travel time is your biggest hidden cost.
- Keep common hardware counted in van stock so you don't lose an hour at the store.
One path, start to paid

Questions handyman businesses ask
Can I invoice on the spot?

Can I see profit per job?
Yes. Add materials and other expenses (with receipt photos) to a job and Selk shows what you kept.
