HANDYMAN/ODD JOBS, only $10 an hour! Clean, honest, reliable, dr

I DO NOT HAVE A TRUCK only a small car. BUT my friend has a pickup and said I could call him if I needed one for a job. Sometimes Handyman for hire call ---X is not enough to convince a homeowner to hire someone so if you ll please take the time to read this mini-novel you will be glad you did. Thank you I m 54 years old honest dependable hard-working clean cut NOT a druggie or a drunk. I have a valid driver s license and a clean reliable insured CAR (I don t own a truck). I have some basic hand tools but not a lot. (Can maybe borrow certain specialty tools I don t have). I ll show up when I say I will (or call if I m running late) and work until the job is done. If I don t think I can do a job I ll let you know. I won t pretend I m an expert at everything. I ve done rental move-out & foreclosure clean-ups and minor repairs since back in the early 80 s. ALL people I have done odd jobs for said they ll use me again in the future and I get a LOT of repeat calls. Everyone who hires me for odd jobs appreciate my friendliness my attitude and my honesty. I can provide countless refs from people who I ve done odd jobs for as well as character refs I ve driven up to 26-foot box trucks for employers in delivery jobs so if you need to rent a truck I can drive it. I work great without supervision If you leave for errands I don t stop working or take a bunch of breaks I M ONLY A HANDYMAN doing odd jobs NOT A CONTRACTOR doing major work so I don t charge nearly as much as some people do. Sure I could charge more but I m not greedy and I want to be fair and affordable. Don t let my low rates make you think my work is low quality Ask someone I ve done jobs for and you will find I do great work at a very fair price I only charge 10 an hour which is more than fair for odd jobs and handyman work since minimum wage is creeping up on the 10 mark. MINIMUM 1st-time charge of 20 for first 5 minutes up to 2 hours then only 10 an hour after that. (three hours 30 four hours 40 etc.). BUT this minimum charge is a one-time charge If you use me again the minimum is only the 1 hour charge of 10. (I like and appreciate repeat calls and I do get a LOT of them ) Some people have said all this is confusing so here is a better idea 20 minimum on first job whether it takes 10 minutes or 2 hours. Add 10 gas surcharge if over 20 miles from Tacoma city limits. Add 5 for bridge toll if I have to cross the Narrows. (I used to charge 15 per hour if over 20 miles from Tacoma but decided to be more fair to other people and just get 10 extra for gas.) CASH ONLY at the end of each day (NO CHECKS ). Since I ve been out of work so long I need to be paid CASH daily to keep gas in my car and eat and pay a bill or two. Thank you for understanding. I ll start with what I do NOT DO NO stocking hanging taping or texturing sheetrock (but I do minor repairs). NO painting of any kind except decks (yes I ll paint or stain decks ). NO carpet flooring except removal. NO glass repair of any kind large or small. NO roofing or roof repairs of any kind except cleaning. NO masonry concrete cement or foundation work.
