Handyman Services for Seniors

Senior-focused handyman services provide home repairs and maintenance helping older adults maintain homes and age in place safely.

With home maintenance challenges and seniors targeted by scams, trusted handymen generate revenue of $95,000-$340,000 with 65-80% margins.

The business requires handyman skills, tools, background checks, liability insurance, and senior-appropriate communication.

Pricing typically $50-$100 per hour.

Success factors include background checks and trustworthiness, senior-appropriate pace and communication, offering regular seasonal maintenance packages, coordinating with family members, and preventing senior scams.

Most handymen build recurring seasonal clients.

Marketing focuses on senior communities, adult children, and aging services network.

With home maintenance enabling aging in place but challenging for seniors in 2025, senior handyman services offer trusted maintenance opportunities helping seniors stay home safely.
