For Taylor and Michael Robair, their story started with a simple problem: one income wasn't covering the bills, and staying home with their kids mattered too much to give up. So Michael started picking up $30 handyman jobs on Angie at night and on weekends, assembling furniture and hanging TVs while the app billed homeowners three times what he took home.A few years later, they run Triangle Handyman Services in Raleigh, North Carolina with a small team, they did around $200K in the first half of 2026, and they're chasing a $500K to $600K year. This one is the honest version of how a family builds something real from scratch.Taylor and Michael sit down with Jason and Coby to walk through it.In this episode:How Michael turned cheap Angie jobs into loyal, direct, repeat clients he still serves todayThe Facebook group post that made Taylor realize handyman work is real moneyGoing from $50 an hour to $145 to $198, and why they stopped telling clients their hourly rateWhy they price every single job on the spot instead of emailing a quote laterThe hiring saga: why a Facebook jobs post beat Indeed, and the applicant who checked all 21 skill boxes straight from Waffle HouseWhy they share their full profit and loss statement with their techniciansThe 21-day stretch that nearly ran them into the ground, and the 5 o'clock boundary that protects their family time nowIf you're grinding through the startup phase or trying to make the jump to full-time, this one is packed with real numbers and honest decisions from a family figuring it out in real time.Hosted by Jason Call and Coby McManaman of Handyman Marketing Prosπ Schedule a free, no-pressure strategy call: http://go.handymanmarketingpros.comπ Grab the free 3-in-1 Handyman Playbook Bundle: http://go.handymanmarketingpros.com/p...π Connect with us:π» Website: http://handymanmarketingpros.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeherocommunityNew episodes of the Home Hero Podcast every week.
