Handyman Invoice Template

You just spent two hours replacing a garbage disposal, fixing a leaky faucet, and patching drywall in a client’s kitchen. Your truck is parked in their driveway, your tools are packed, and the homeowner is standing there asking what they owe. This is the moment that separates handymen who get paid on the spot from those who chase invoices for weeks.

Professional invoicing is the difference between running a business and just doing odd jobs. Proper invoices help you get paid faster, look professional enough to compete with larger companies, keep accurate records for tax season, and build trust that turns one-time callers into repeat customers.

What to Include on a Handyman Invoice

A professional handyman invoice needs to cover the basics while addressing unique aspects of handyman work—multiple small tasks on a single visit, materials purchased for the job, and service at the client’s location.

Handyman-Specific Fields Explained

Service Location Address - Handymen often work for property managers who need invoices sent to a different address than where work was performed. Always include both billing address and service location.

Parts and Materials List with Markup - List each material separately with cost and your markup (industry standard 15-25%). Be transparent—clients accept markup when they understand it covers your time picking up supplies.

Labor Breakdown - Show your hourly rate and actual time worked. If you completed multiple tasks, consider itemizing labor by task so clients see exactly where their money went.

Travel/Trip Charge - Most handymen charge $25-75 to cover drive time and vehicle expenses. This should appear as a separate line item.

Warranty Information - State what your warranty covers (typically 30-90 days on labor), what it does not cover, and how long it lasts.

Understanding the Handyman Industry

The home services industry exceeds $500 billion annually in the United States, with over 120,000 handyman businesses operating across the country. The aging housing stock, busy homeowner lifestyles, and declining DIY skills among younger homeowners continue to drive demand.

As a handyman, you compete against established franchises with professional marketing. A professional invoice—with your logo, itemized services, and clear payment terms—puts you on equal footing with larger competitors.
