Handyman work is many small jobs, and the terms keep them profitable: a minimum charge so a ten-minute fix covers the drive, a clear rule for materials, and a list of what you send to licensed trades. Customers who see the terms before the visit rarely argue about the bill after it, and a clear cancellation rule protects the slot you held for them.
