[ For Handyman Businesses ]

15 DIFFERENT JOBS. ONE APP THAT KEEPS UP.

Drywall at 8. Faucet at 10. Deck repair after lunch. You cover more trades from one truck than most companies run in a year. OPS handles the quoting, scheduling, and follow-up — so you stay on the job, not on the phone.

[ THE PROBLEM ]

Every job is different — and pricing every one is a gamble

  • Drywall patch vs. faucet swap vs. deck repair — each needs different materials, different time, different pricing. No single formula works.
  • Unforeseen damage behind walls turns a 2-hour job into a 6-hour job at the same quoted price. Your margin just disappeared.
  • Underpricing to beat unlicensed guys and platform-driven rates leads straight to burnout and empty bank accounts.
  • Homeowners expect a price before you show up. Without fast, accurate quotes, you're either losing the job or losing money.

For: Solo operators and small crews quoting 5–10 different service types a week

Scheduling chaos multiplies the moment you grow

  • What worked for 5 jobs a week breaks at 15 — overlapping bookings, missed follow-ups, jobs that fall through the cracks.
  • Multi-day projects across drywall, painting, plumbing, and carpentry are impossible to coordinate from a phone call log.
  • New booking gets written on a sticky note. Follow-up gets forgotten. Customer calls a competitor.
  • Confirmation texts, arrival ETAs, recurring maintenance reminders — every missed communication kills a referral.

For: Handyman businesses scaling from solo to 2–5 workers

$$$$$

Software built for plumbers, priced for empires

  • ServiceTitan charges $245–$500 per tech per month with $5,000–$50,000 setup fees. For a solo handyman making $60K a year, that is absurd.
  • Jobber starts at $39 but hits $169 for a team of 5 with $29 per-user overages. Add the marketing suite and you are north of $250 a month.
  • Housecall Pro scales to $329 a month before the $40 proposal tool, $149 price book, and $20 per-vehicle GPS tracking add-ons.
  • None of them handle multi-trade workflows. They're built for one-trade companies. A handyman doing 15 service types needs flexibility, not rigid plumbing templates.

For: Handyman owners who need more than a spreadsheet but refuse to pay $300 a month for HVAC software

[ THE SOLUTION ]

HOW OPS HANDLES IT

[ 01 ]

Quote any job in 60 seconds.

Drywall patch? Faucet replacement? Deck repair? Quote it from your truck before you leave the first job. Flexible job types handle every service a handyman offers — no rigid plumbing or HVAC templates. Snap a photo to capture the scope before quoting. Job history shows what you charged for similar work, so pricing stays consistent and profitable across every trade you cover.

[ 02 ]

One calendar. Every trade. Zero chaos.

Drywall in the morning, plumbing at noon, furniture assembly at 3. One calendar handles every service type without the overlap. Color-coded job types show your full day at a glance. Multi-day projects stay organized across phases. Automated confirmation and reminder texts cut no-shows. Your crew knows where they are going next without calling you.

[ 03 ]

Built for the truck, not the office.

You go from a kitchen to a garage to a deck in one day. Your app needs to keep up. 56dp touch targets work with work gloves. Dark theme is readable from a crawl space to a sunny deck. Photo documentation captures before and after for every job type. Download today. Schedule your first job today. No 3-week implementation, no $5,000 setup fee, no sales demo required.

[ 04 ]

$79 a month flat. Not per-trade, not per-worker.

You cover 15 different trades from one truck. Your software should cover them all at one price. $79 a month flat regardless of team size — hire a helper for busy season, no price increase. Compare: ServiceTitan at $15,000–$30,000 a year for a 5-person team. Jobber at $4,000+ a year with overages. Housecall Pro at $3,900+ a year with add-ons. OPS at $948 a year flat. Less than 1% of gross revenue for most handyman businesses.
