The handyman business that never misses a call
Handyman work runs on small tickets, tight routes, and clients who call you for everything. Sherpa builds and runs the systems that keep that flywheel turning.
How Handyman actually works
Handyman work is a volume-and-loyalty business. The average ticket is small, so the money is in density: a full route of jobs, close together, booked without phone tag. The best clients are repeat homeowners and property managers with endless punch lists, and they stay loyal to whoever is easiest to book. The failure mode is invisible: unanswered calls, unbilled hours, and a week that fills with drive time instead of paid work.
