Jun 01, 2026 Season 1 Episode 72
Jason Call & Allen Lee

Allen Lee started Honestly Handyman Services part-time in 2016 while working as an auto mechanic. Ten years later, he sold the business. 🚐💼

In this extended episode of the Handyman Success Podcast, Jason Call interviews Allen year by year through the real story behind building, growing, struggling through, systemizing, and eventually selling a handyman business.

They cover the good, the bad, and the ugly: first jobs, pricing lessons, hiring mistakes, 1099 contractors, building systems, hiring a CSR, surviving family medical challenges, growing a team, leadership lessons, revenue milestones, marketing budgets, and what it really takes to build a handyman business that can operate beyond the owner.

This episode is packed with honest lessons for handyman business owners who want more freedom, better systems, stronger teams, and a business that can grow without consuming their entire life. 🔧📈
