Yard, junk and handyman

Yard care, junk removal and handyman work each come with their own starter catalog. Quote them like any other job; this page covers what is different about each.

What they have in common

  • Add each one when you sign up, or later under Kinds of work in your settings.
  • Each has its own Service Catalog with starter services. Every starter service says “Suggested price. Change it to your rate.” Set your prices before you quote. See Set your prices.
  • Estimates have one price, the Project Total. See Estimates.
  • Units include visit, season, hour, bag, cubic yard, linear foot and load, as well as each.

Yard care and cleanup

Mowing, spring and fall cleanups, leaves, brush, gutters and mulch.

  • Prices by lot size: Small lot (under 1/4 acre), Medium lot (1/4 to 1/2 acre) and Large lot (over 1/2 acre).
  • Starter services: mow, trim and blow per visit, spring and fall cleanups, leaf removal, brush clearing, hedge and shrub trimming, weeding beds, gutter cleaning, mulch installed by the cubic yard, lawn aeration, and yard debris haul-away by the load.
  • Repeat visits. Weekly mowing and other regular work go on Recurring. See Recurring service.
  • Hauling. You get Dump Sites in the menu. On Site & Scope you can pick a Dump / transfer station and the Loads to haul, so the dumping fee is counted.
  • Job numbers start with YC, unless you set your own prefix.

Junk removal and hauling

Junk removal, clean-outs and hauling, priced by how much of the truck it fills.

  • Starter services: a minimum pickup for a single item, truck loads from 1/8 to full, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, tires, paint or chemicals, TVs and electronics, heavy items such as a piano or hot tub, stairs or a long carry, and extra labor per person per hour.
  • Hauling. You get Dump Sites in the menu. On Site & Scope, pick the Dump / transfer station and the Loads to haul. Half loads are allowed. The dumping cost is worked out for you and is not shown to the customer as its own line.
  • No difficulty tiers to start with. Add them if you need them.
  • Job numbers start with JR, unless you set your own prefix.

To list your dump sites and what each load costs you, see Dump sites. It works the same for junk.

Handyman

Small repairs and projects: mounting, doors, drywall, fixtures and assembly.

  • Starter services: handyman labor by the hour, a trip charge, mounting a TV, hanging or adjusting a door, patching drywall, assembling furniture, replacing a light fixture, ceiling fan or faucet, re-caulking a tub or shower, hanging shelves and pictures, fence or gate repair, and replacing a smoke or CO detector.
  • No difficulty tiers to start with. Add them if you need them.
  • A company that signs up for handyman work only starts with a deposit turned on. Change it in your settings if you do not take one.
  • Job numbers start with HM, unless you set your own prefix.
