So the handyman for a half day in Brooklyn and Queens is 395.
The half day in Manhattan is 500.
And then our most common service purchased is the handyman for a day, which in Brooklyn and Queens is 595 and in Manhattan is 725.
Okay.
I would say it's a little bit less.
The handyman for a half day is very popular.
So about $400.
So the handyman gets paid.
We benchmarked against other craftsmen in the field and they get paid anywhere from 15 to 35 dollars an hour, depending on their level of experience and the level of responsibility they take in the job.
So we have both handyman roles and assistant handyman roles.
No, supplies are additional, and that is a little bit of a revenue stream for us because we mark up supplies by 25%.
I would say very small, maybe 4% to 5% of our revenue.
Yes.
That's a very good question because if someone had told me that before I started the business, I probably would have run home screaming that in the dark in the fetal position, which is actually what I do just about every time I meet with an insurance agent or a lawyer.
So...
Having said that, I do love what I do, but in order to run a truly professional handyman service or any home service for that matter, you need to be licensed.
You need to be insured.
I pay workers' compensation, which is 20% of payroll.
So 20 cents on every dollar goes straight to workers' compensation.
Yes.
