How to bundle plumbing, drywall, and trip fees into one quote
Mixed small jobs lose money when trip fees and markup live in your head. Here is a HandyQuote workflow for one professional estimate.
Key takeaways
- List every task before you total so nothing rides for free.
- Add a trip or service-call fee as its own line.
- Apply materials markup instead of guessing at the door.
- Share one branded PDF instead of a stack of verbal numbers.
One visit, one professional number
Clients want a single total. You need every hour and markup visible. HandyQuote by Knox Studios is built to bundle handyman jobs without losing the trip fee.
A four-step bundle
- Walk the property and list each task: drywall, mounts, plumbing, electrical, outdoor.
- Open HandyQuote and add line items by hours, each, linear feet, or square feet.
- Add the trip fee and materials markup so the total is honest.
- Attach a photo if access is tight, then export a branded PDF.
Close before you leave
A clear bundled estimate beats “I’ll email you tonight.” Get HandyQuote on Google Play.
