How do you document/communicate your work to clients to avoid disputes or payment delays?
Hey r/Handyman,
Quick question for those of you doing paid work:
How do you let clients know what you did? For example:
- Texting photos?
- Handwritten notes?
- Email invoices with details?
- Something else?
I ask because I’ve heard from a few handymen that clients often don’t understand the work (."Why did this take 2 hours?" or "I don’t see any changes"), which can lead to disputes or delayed payments.
How do you avoid these issues?
Do you have a system that works well for you?
