How do I make a handyman invoice?

Tell Clodou the customer, the hours or tasks and the materials with your prices, such as 2.5 hours at $75 and TV mounting at $120. It finds or adds the customer and writes the invoice with your logo, your business details, the next number in your sequence and your terms. There is no handyman invoice template to fill in, and if a price is missing, Clodou asks instead of guessing.

Can Clodou apply my two-hour minimum?

Not by itself. Give the hours to bill, such as 2 hours for a 45-minute job under your minimum, and say so in the line if you like. Clodou bills the hours you give and never rounds them.

How do I bill materials?

Log each receipt as an expense from a photo you confirm, so you see what each job cost, and put the materials on the invoice at cost or at the price you charge. Clodou never adds a markup by itself.

Can I invoice a landlord once a month?

Yes. Add the landlord or property manager as the client, with their contacts, and invoice each unit as you go or once a month with one line per unit and its address. Put their work order numbers in the lines or the note.

Does Clodou book jobs or send estimates for signature?

No. Clodou has no online booking, scheduling, dispatch, photo checklists or e-signature, and it does not take card payments. It handles the business side: clients, quotes, invoices, payments, expenses and tasks. For remodeling and bigger jobs, see the page for contractors.

Free covers up to 5 clients and 20 AI actions a month, with no separate cap on quotes and invoices (making them in the chat uses AI actions). Solo, with your payment link on invoices, is $29 a month per workspace. Team, with 5 seats and automatic reminders, is $79 a month. Prices are in USD, and the first 14 days are a free Team trial.

Who it's for / Handyman services

Handyman invoices for the hour, the task list and the materials

Handymen usually bill by the hour with a minimum visit, such as two hours, or a flat price per task, such as mounting a TV or hanging a door, with materials on top at cost or with a markup and sometimes a trip fee. Landlords, property managers and real estate agents send punch lists before a move-in or a sale and often pay once a month. Tell Clodou what you did and at what price: it writes the invoice, keeps your materials receipts and shows who still owes you.

How Clodou helps

Hours, tasks and materials on one invoice

"Invoice Linda Moss: 2.5 hours at $75, TV mounting flat $120 and materials $46" writes three lines, $353.50. Clodou uses your rates; it never rounds time or picks a price.

Materials billed back

Log hardware store receipts as expenses from a photo you confirm, then bill them on the job's invoice at cost or at the price you set. Clodou never adds a markup by itself.

Punch lists for landlords

Add each landlord or property manager as a client and invoice each unit's punch list with the address in the lines, per visit or once a month, with their work order number in the note.

How handyman services bill, and how Clodou handles it

By the hour, with a minimum, or by the task

Many handymen charge by the hour with a minimum per visit, such as two hours, and others a flat price per task from their own list, such as TV mounting, $120. Give Clodou the hours to bill or the task price: if your minimum applies, give the minimum as the hours, since Clodou never rounds time. A trip fee is its own line at the amount you set.

Materials and markups

Materials are usually billed on top, at cost or with a markup you set, often with the receipt kept for the customer. Log each receipt as an expense from a photo you confirm, and give the materials line the price you charge. In some places sales tax applies to materials and not to labor: give a line its own rate, or none, and check with your accountant.

Landlords, agents and licensing limits

Landlords, property managers and real estate agents often send a punch list per unit and pay once a month: invoice each unit with its address, or one monthly invoice with a line per unit, and put their work order number in the note. Some states require a contractor license above a set job size, so check your state's rules before you quote larger work.
