We own a home repair business in Arizona and we charge $40.00 per
hour. We are not licensed.

Lots of differences depending on area. Here, if you list as a
handyman, you can replace a toilet or sink with no plummer license.
An electrician can have an assistant who is not licensed (so can a
plummer) for those 2 people jobs.

General handyman stuff (put in a new door, replace doorknobs, hang a
new sensor on a motion sensor exterior light, fix a panel that fell
down on exterior fencing etc) needs no license here. If smart, you
make sure they are insured and the ones I use here are small company
sorts (sounds a bit like your business) with insurance for their
workers if they get hurt. Also a lone handyman who has his own
insurance.

My husband and I are getting older, and though we know how to fix
things, sometimes we don't have the stamina for them anymore or just
cant lift something.

Coincidental that today I was up in the attic making some final
connections to some wiring I recently ran. Had my ass wedged in a web-
chord with a foot on one cord and knee on another 24" away. I'm thinking
some day I just ain't gonna be able to do this ****. At 55, I'm wondering
if that's 1, 5, 10 years from now. I guess when I come through a ceiling
or the like, I'll know it's time.
