A typical day for a handyman is very unpredictable since they are called upon to do very many emergency works. Therefore, although there are times when a typical day starts at 8 am and ends at 5:00pm, there will be days when the job begins early and stretches to odd hours. It does not matter if it is a Los Angeles Handyman or New York Handyman.

A typical day for a handyman starts by checking the schedule and finding out the needs of the clients. This makes it easy to know the tools that will be needed for the work. After this, he makes phone calls to respond to messages from their clients and to confirm appointments. If the handyman has an online following, then they check for messages and read recommendations and complaints from customers.

There are days when he will get “thank you” notes from the people they worked for who want to appreciate what they did and recommend them to other people. They are also days when they receive calls from irate customers who are frustrated by the leaks in their houses and are in dire need of a handyman that they cannot take “No” for an answer. Such times, the handyman spends a lot of time on the phone trying to explain why they cannot make it that day.

Before setting off to work, a handyman, especially one who is not attached to a company sends out his quotation to potential clients. This can be done online or through the post office so as to ensure a continuous demand of his services.
After confirming an appointment from a client and getting all the information on what he will be required to do, he states what he expects to be paid for the job. This is very important so that they have an agreement before he starts on the job. The handyman then checks if all the tools that will be needed for the job he has been assigned are in place. In case there is a missing tool, the handyman visits a workshop or a renting store to get the tool.

A typical day for a handyman might have him doing carpentry work: building cupboards, adjusting doors, laying wooden floors and hammering away. There are also days when he is expected to do some plumbing work: install a washing machine, put up a garden tap, fix a leaking tap – it depends on the client’s requirements. Some days he is stuck doing electrical work: fixing switches, replacing doorbells and installing appliances. He may also be required to do some painting or work outside the house.

A typical day for a handyman who is contracted by a company is more organized as they get their schedule organized by the company, and they have specific time limits to work. If you are a handyman who has decided to go out on your own, then it is very difficult to plan your day, since there will be days when there is very little for you to do, and then there will also be days when you have so much to do that your day may end up being so jammed up.
