What happens when you combine traditional handyman skills with modern business professionalism? Jim Clore of Fredericksburg Handyman joins us to discuss how he's revolutionizing home maintenance services in our community.

Founded during the early days of the pandemic and strategically relaunched in late 2022, Fredericksburg Handyman fills a critical market gap by tackling those smaller home projects that larger contractors often refuse. As Jim explains, their success stems from bringing unprecedented professionalism to an industry typically known for inconsistency. Behind their branded uniforms stands a fully insured team of background-checked professionals using technology like body cameras to ensure accountability and precision on every job.

The conversation reveals fascinating insights about building a service business in today's market. Jim candidly shares the challenges of scaling operations, including the shocking reality of insurance costs that recently increased tenfold. He dispels common misconceptions about pricing, explaining that when homeowners hire a professional handyman, they're investing in years of expertise, guaranteed workmanship, and reliable follow-up service—not just the few minutes of labor shown in YouTube tutorials.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, Jim offers powerful advice: "Don't procrastinate, don't wait for when the time is right." He emphasizes the value of finding mentors and business coaches who've already navigated the challenges you'll face, potentially saving years of costly trial and error. His philosophy of both receiving mentorship and mentoring others creates a continuous cycle of growth and accountability.
