Handyman work order template

Mixed repair lists fall apart when every task is stuffed into one paragraph. Give each task its own line, its own photo, and a yes or no.

One line per task

A punch list might include a sticking door, a drywall patch, and a loose towel bar. Put each one on its own labor line with the time you actually spent. Parts get their own lines: a hinge, a tube of compound, anchors. The subtotal is then a list the customer can scan instead of a single round number.

Captions do the sorting

Caption photos with the task name: “Hall door, latch side, after adjustment.”
Use the six-photo limit on the tasks most likely to be questioned, not on every screw.
Move the most important photo to the top. The arrows on each photo change the order in the PDF.
Write declined work in recommendations, with the room name, so it is not confused with work you completed.

Time and materials without a second app

Arrival and departure times sit next to the technician name. They are not a payroll system. They give the customer a plain record of how long you were in the house. If a task runs long because of hidden damage, say that in the diagnosis for that area so the hours have a reason.

Time-and-materials lines for mixed repair lists. Prompts appear as hints in empty fields; the template does not invent readings, completed work, or prices.
