Billing Hourly Handyman Jobs From Logged Hours
Hours Should Come From the Job
The tech logs hours on site on the job's checklist. That's the number to bill from.
Rounding Rules
Decide your rule: quarter hours, half hours, a one-hour minimum. Put it in your terms.
Show the Hours
"Service Call (Hourly), 2.5 hrs" on the invoice is clearer than a lump sum.
Separate Materials
Bill materials as their own line so the hourly rate stays clear.
Check Patterns
If hourly jobs regularly run long, quote better estimates up front.
