Tax and markup: not included. Determine and apply the appropriate values for your own job. A zero tax entry in this example does not mean the work is tax-exempt.
How to read the quantities
Three shelf installations × $55 = $165 in labor. Four cabinet-door adjustments × $25 = $100. These separate tasks remain understandable even though they will be performed on the same visit.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Owner-supplied shelves or hardware still need to be available and suitable for the agreed task. Identify missing components and any purchase allowance. Do not combine a labor-only task with a material-inclusive task without labeling the difference.
Outside this scope: No electrical, plumbing or structural work; no concealed repairs or tasks beyond the listed quantities.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Should a handyman estimate list every small task?
List enough detail to establish the agreed scope, especially quantities and material responsibility. A grouped allowance is useful only when its limits are clear.
How do I handle extra requests during the visit?
Document the added task and its price or time basis, then obtain the customer’s agreement before treating it as part of the job.
