Share on Reddit Business Description
This handyman business has been structured with an eye toward management rather than the owner being on every job. A core team of multi-trade technicians runs most service calls, while a part-time office assistant helps with phones, scheduling, and basic admin. The current owner focuses on estimates, reviewing schedules, and occasional site visits, making this a realistic option for someone who wants the ability to step back over time.
The company handles a broad range of common requests: carpentry repairs, drywall, trim and paint touch-ups, minor plumbing and electrical, and small exterior jobs. Work is tracked in a simple system that logs customer history and job notes, making it easier to manage repeat visits and maintain consistent service. Customers appreciate dealing with an established company rather than a single independent handyman who may not always be available.
For a buyer who wants to start out hands-on but eventually build toward more of an oversight role—or fold this into an existing home services platform—this business offers structure, people, and demand already in place.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 10
- Employees
- 7 (5 Full-time, 2 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- 2,000 sq ft leased facility with a small shop, storage for tools and materials, and an office area used for scheduling and admin. Two service vans and one backup vehicle are included, along with power tools, ladders, and full hand-tool sets for multi-trade work (FF&E ~ $58K). Inventory of roughly $8K in commonly used repair parts and consumables supports efficient first-visit completion.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in a suburban area with aging housing stock and a high share of dual-income households who prefer to outsource repairs. Competitors range from solo operators to large branded services; this company sits in the middle, with a real team and infrastructure but a local, approachable feel.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner could add a full-time office coordinator to free up owner time, hire one more technician to increase capacity, or build more formal relationships with realtors, inspectors, and property managers for recurring punch-list and repair work.
