Invoice & estimate app for handymen
The invoice app for handymen
A handyman visit is rarely one job — it's a TV mount, a sticky door, and a new bathroom fan. Invoiceflint lets you list every task on one clear invoice from your phone, add materials and your trip charge, and send it before you've packed up your tools.

Billing tips for handymen
Bill multi-task visits line by line
One lump sum for a half-day of odd jobs invites 'that seems like a lot'. A line for each task shows the value of every fix and makes the total easy to accept.
Set a minimum charge
A 15-minute job still costs you the drive and setup. A minimum service charge or trip fee, stated on your estimate and invoice, keeps small jobs worth taking.
Save your common jobs as items
TV mounts, faucet swaps, and door adjustments come up every week. Save them with your standard prices and you'll build most invoices with a few taps.
Invoicing questions from handymen
Should a handyman charge by the hour or by the job?
Many handymen use both: a set price for common tasks such as mounting a TV or replacing a faucet, and an hourly rate for repairs where the time is hard to predict. Whichever you use, show each task as its own line on the invoice.
How do I invoice materials I bought for a job?
List each significant item with its quantity and price, group small supplies into one line, and keep the receipts. Many handymen add a markup to cover the time spent buying and collecting materials — just be consistent.
Should a handyman have a minimum charge?
It's common and sensible. A minimum service charge or trip fee covers travel and setup on very small jobs. State it on your estimates and invoices so customers know in advance.
Can I invoice a customer right after the job?
Yes. With Invoiceflint you create the invoice on your phone and send it by text, WhatsApp, or email before you leave. You'll get a notification when the customer opens it.
