What It Covers
Test demand with a zero-budget question to three owners and one property manager before spending on tools or licensing. Confirm licensing, insurance, workers' compensation, and each material's markup and contingency before you quote a job. Price the smallest sellable version — one house, one punch list, one flat price — with a guaranteed completion date and a stated remedy if you miss it. Track days from keys to done and gross margin after materials, and build repeat work with property managers who need a reliable completion date.
