The questions depend on the call.
Go beyond a name and number. Choose which follow-up questions matter to your team, and adjust them to the services you offer.
- Number of distinct tasks in the batch
- Single-family home, condo, apartment, commercial, or rental property?
- Does the caller already have the materials, or does the handyman need to supply them?
- Preferred service date/window (morning, afternoon, specific day)
- Is this a rental property or property managed for someone else?
- Confirm the caller understands your minimum visit charge, if you have one.
- How did you hear about us?
Calls your team will recognize.
Use these examples to try your setup. Decide which requests need a quick handoff and which can wait for a callback. Response times and availability are yours to confirm.
“New tenant moves in Friday and I need things fixed”

“Closing on the house Thursday and inspector flagged items”
“TV mount + a few other things whenever you can”
“Deck repairs, not in a rush”
“Bathroom fixtures that need replacing”
“Just wondering what you charge”
“Thinking about some projects”
