Deposits for Big Handyman Jobs
Protect Material Purchases
For jobs where you buy a lot of materials up front, such as a deck repair or a door replacement, a deposit protects you.
How Much
Often enough to cover materials. Keep it reasonable.
Small Jobs Don't Need One
A card on file covers small jobs.
Record It
Record deposits against the customer so the final invoice shows what's already paid.
Say It in the Estimate
State the deposit on the estimate so it's agreed at approval.
