Bill Every Extra Fix With Handyman Business Software
Forget the second box of screws and the drywall patch they added, and that's money gone. Procured logs each extra on the open job, so you see it when you bill.
Fixes for a Day of Small, Mixed Jobs
Your day is TV mounts, sticky doors and running toilets. This list starts with the problem that costs the most: extras you never bill.
"While You're Here" Fixes That Get Billed
You came to swap a faucet, and then they want a smart deadbolt and two drywall patches. Add each one to the job as you go, with the parts, so all three end up on one bill.
- Add an extra task to the open job → it lands on the bill
- Log the extra box of screws → you remember to charge it
- Note the deadbolt they bought themselves → labor only, no confusion
- Book a big add-on as its own visit → today stays on time
- Photo the new problem before starting → the homeowner sees why
- Get the homeowner's signature at the end → the extras have a yes
Short Lists That Still Pay for the Drive
A regular texts a list: TV, two shelves, a sticky door, a flapper. Price each item on its own line with your minimum on top. Dropping one won't wreck the number, and the visit still pays.
- Save flat prices for common tasks → a TV mount prices in one tap
- Put your minimum charge on the quote → short lists still cover the drive
- Add a trip charge for far addresses → the long drive gets paid
- Offer hourly or flat on one quote → the homeowner picks
- Mark up parts as their own line → the store run gets paid
- Send the quote after the walkthrough → your price lands first
Paid Before You Back Out of the Driveway
The work's done, the homeowner is standing right there, and you have three more stops. Build the bill from the finished job with a few taps, and they can pay from their own phone.
- Build the invoice from the finished job → add-ons are there to review
- Let the homeowner pay from their phone → no check chasing next week
- Mark a Zelle from a regular as received → no double-billing next visit
- Show the minimum and trip charge as lines → no surprise totals
- Invoice a quick fix without a quote → bill a 20-minute job
- See who still owes you → stop being the neighborhood's credit line
- Put a deposit on the vanity quote → you don't pay for it yourself
Fewer Free Estimate Trips
You drove 40 minutes to price a leaky faucet, then never heard back. Have homeowners send their list from your website with photos. Price the easy items from the pictures, and save the drive for jobs that need a look.
- Let homeowners send fix-it lists from your website → all in one place
- Ask for photos with each request → price the TV mount without a visit
- Turn the request into a quote → the list's priced by dinner
- Charge for a walkthrough as its own line → your time gets paid
- Decline jobs outside your license or area → say no fast
- Let regulars send lists from the client portal → the work stays yours
Callbacks Answered From Last Spring's Notes
A regular calls six months later about the bathroom door again. Open their profile to see what you did and what you charged. The photos and the paint color you used are there too.
- Snap before and after photos → proof for the picky homeowner
- Note paint brand and color → touch-ups match next time
- Log hours on site → hourly jobs bill what you worked
- Record parts used on each task → buy the same flapper again
- Note where the water shutoff is → the next visit starts faster
- Reopen last spring's door job on a callback → first fix attached
Fit Four Small Jobs Into One Day
A 90-minute TV mount in the morning, a door fix nearby, a running toilet after lunch. Drag short jobs into the gaps, and on the Team plan see them on a map to cut the driving.
- Drag a short job into an open hour → the day fills up
- Group jobs by neighborhood on the map → less windshield time
- Book half-day blocks for regulars → their whole list gets done
- Assign a helper their own jobs → the list shows on their phone
- Say "Reschedule the Baker visit to Thursday" → the swap waits for your tap
- Mark On My Way and Arrived → each stop's times sit on the visit

What Is Handyman Business Software?
Handyman business software handles the quote, the calendar, the job record and the bill for lots of small, mixed jobs. For a handyman, that means pricing a honey-do list item by item. It also means adding the fixes you find on site and getting paid before you leave. Procured does all of this from a phone. It won't check your state's license dollar limit, so watch each job's total yourself.
