The neighborhood fix-it pro — now a real business.
You're the one people call for the fence, the faucet, the drywall, the "can you just look at this?" SideWRK turns that into real money: log the job, write the estimate, get the customer's approval with photos, send a branded invoice, and see your true profit on every job.

Log the job, not paperwork
No rigid forms — add a job by a quick label or address and you're moving. SideWRK is the flexible default that fits whatever the work is: a repair, an install, an assembly, or a full punch list.
Estimates → invoices → paid
Write up the work in one sweep — labor, materials (with your private cost), a note, and a photo. Text or email a clean estimate. When the customer approves, it becomes a numbered invoice. Record cash, Venmo, Zelle, or card.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer reviews the estimate, sees the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount. Add work later and they're asked to authorize the new total.
Photos that sell the job
Snap the rotted board, the leaky trap, or the finished work and text it straight to the customer — proof gets jobs approved faster and the same photos show on the estimate.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every material carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what you actually made on each job, not just what you charged.
Look legit on every invoice
Your business name, logo, address, and license number on every estimate and invoice, plus a logged record of every customer approval. A clean invoice beats a number on a sticky note.
From "can you take a look?" to "paid" in three steps
Log it
Add the customer and the job — a quick label or the address — then write it up with labor, materials, a photo, and a note.
Send it
Text or email a branded estimate. The customer reviews the photos and taps Approve — authorization logged automatically.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice. Record the payment, the job flips to Paid, and your real profit lands in the Money tab.
What should a handyman charge?
Handyman work is usually billed by the hour or per task — but your rate has to cover the unbilled time too. Here's how to price it, plus a free handyman rate calculator to price it.
Hourly or per task
Many handymen charge roughly $50–$90 an hour, or a flat price per common task. Per-task pricing wins more jobs because the customer sees the number first.
A minimum charge
Most set a minimum — a one- or two-hour minimum, or a flat trip fee — so a tiny job still covers the drive and the setup.
Materials and what moves it
Materials are billed at cost plus a small markup. Complexity, access, and your area move the number, and remember you can't bill every hour of your week.
