Handyman Software for Hourly and Flat-Rate Jobs

Why Handyman Companies Choose Claver

Handyman is the most fragmented trade in residential service. Every visit is a different combination of tasks. TV mount, fan install, drywall patch, doorbell, fence repair, faucet replace, deck stain. The shops that scale from one truck to three run two things differently: they bundle multiple tasks into one bigger ticket, and they track which tasks actually pay so they stop running 35% margin work that feels productive but isn't.

Claver was built for the multi-task day. One visit, one customer, four to six tasks bundled into one $485 ticket, quoted on-site, signed digitally, deposit captured before you leave the hallway. No "call me back tomorrow with a price." No customer assembling a piecemeal quote from three competitors. Just one bundled job that's on the calendar before you get back to the truck.

The bundled quote is the engine. Margin tracking is what tells you which tasks to grow.

When you walk into Mrs. Park's apartment in Park Slope and she has six things on her list, the bundled quote builds itself. $185 TV mount and $145 ceiling fan install and $95 drywall (3 patches) and $60 faucet replace and $45 doorbell install and $25 picture hanging (4 frames) = $555. She sees the breakdown, picks all of it, signs digitally, pays a 25% deposit. The job is on Tuesday's calendar. You stop watching her pick three of six tasks and ghost you on the rest.

Online booking is what catches the Sunday-night homeowner. The Brooklyn renter notices the leaky faucet Saturday afternoon, lives with it Sunday, and at 9:32pm Sunday night decides to do something. If your only CTA is "call us Monday at 8am," half those leads are booked with TaskRabbit by Monday morning. Claver's booking widget lets her pick the tasks (faucet replace and the doorbell that's been broken for 6 months and the bathroom drywall patch), enter the address, get an instant quote, pay a deposit, and the job lands on Tuesday's dispatch board. You wake up to four new bundled bookings already scheduled.

Route density is what turns a 3-stop Tuesday into a 6-stop Tuesday. Claver groups stops by zip code, calculates drive time and multi-task setup, and rebuilds the route every morning. Your Tuesday went from 3 stops with 90 minutes of cross-borough driving to 6 stops in the same Park Slope/Carroll Gardens corridor. Same tech. Same labor. Revenue doubled.

Margin per task is what separates the handyman shops that scale from the ones that stay solo. Your $185 TV mount shows 78% margin — 1-hour visit, no parts beyond brackets. Your $95 drywall patch shows 67% — fast, low material. Your $145 ceiling fan shows 51% because the customer's old wiring needed a junction box upgrade you ate. Your $325 garage organization shows 22% because it took 5 hours and you bought $80 of bins from Home Depot. Now you know what to push, what to reprice, and what tasks to politely refuse.

And photo records bring the customer back next month. Every task gets a before and after photo saved to the address. The customer's portal shows the visit history. When Mrs. Park calls back in 5 weeks for the doorbell install (the one she didn't pick last time), you pull up the address and see the gate code, the dog Bowie who barks at the door, the alarm code, the 4 tasks you completed in October, and the photos. The 90-minute discovery visit becomes a 35-minute precision install. That's the customer who calls you for everything for the next 4 years.
