I’m 72 years old and do a handyman business. I do window cleaning, lawn mowing, cleaning and small repairs

I'm 59 and just out there to make some semi-retired side hustle money and love small jobs, endure medium jobs and refer big jobs to a builder I know. As a handyman it's good to get to know a few good guys that do remodels so you can confidently refer big jobs to them and in return they will send the small jobs to you.

I was eagerly waiting to hear the things you were going to list as profitable small jobs, and after hearing faucets, outlets, switches - I immediately know that yes, those things are profitable, but in my jurisdiction (Alberta, Canada), no one can legally perform that work without trade licensing. So it depends on your jurisdiction.

Mowing flat yards in town paid me the best when considering pay to time/effort.

I gave an estimate of $75 each for 2 faucets, labor only, and the client said she will think about it. I don't think you can get $250 per faucet replacement, not even in NYC.
