Hiring employees for your handyman business can be scary, especially if you’ve never managed employees before.
That’s why I’m excited to share this interview with Rick McFadden.
Rick has managed roughly 300 employees during his corporate career and owns a handyman business in Colorado with nine full-time employees.
Rick has a wealth of knowledge about growing a handyman business, but in this episode, we focus primarily on hiring and managing handymen.
Here’s a sample of what we discussed…
HS041 – Interview with Rick McFadden – How to Hire and Manage Employees and scale your handyman business to the $1 Million per year level.
After being laid off from his corporate job in the mortgage industry and discovering that other companies weren’t interested in hiring him, Rick decided to turn his side gig as a handyman into a full-time business.
That’s when he found the online courses from Handyman Startup. He devoured the content, took notes, and worked hard.
He launched Enhance Property Maintenance in January 2018, generating $108,000 in revenue in his first year. In his second year, he and his two part-time employees generated $178,000 in revenue. By the end of his third year, Rick had three full-time employees. At the time of this interview, Rick’s business employs nine full-time employees and one part-time office manager and is on track to generate over $1 Million in revenue in 2023. Not bad for only six years in business!
Rick served as an artillery officer in the Marine Corps and has his MBA from the University of Illinois.
Rick’s business, Enhance Property Maintenance, provides handyman, maintenance, and remodeling services in Castle Rock, Colorado (South Denver Area). They focus on showing up on time, doing great work, and leaving their customer’s homes cleaner than when they arrived.
