Tired of quoting every job? Spending time on estimates that go nowhere?
If you’re a tradesperson or home service provider, there’s a better way to win jobs: fixed-price packages.
This post explains why offering productized services — clearly defined jobs with a flat rate — is smart business. It’s faster, more profitable, and what homeowners want. And if you’re in the GTA, RenoRepair.ca is built to help you offer exactly that.
What Is a Productized Service?
A productized service is:
- A clearly scoped task (e.g., “Install a ceiling fan with existing wiring”)
- A fixed price (e.g., $175 flat)
- Set terms (e.g., includes 1.5 hours labor, client supplies fixture)
You’re no longer selling your time — you’re selling a result.
Homeowners can browse and buy it like a product. You know what you’re delivering. They know what they’re getting.
Why It Works: Real Stats & Trends
- 92% of homeowners prefer flat-rate pricing
- Only 20% of contractors currently offer it
- Platforms like Angi, Jiffy, and OSCAR (Europe) are growing fast using fixed-price home services
- Smaller jobs under $200 are the most popular to productize
That’s a big gap between what people want and what most pros offer. You can use that to your advantage.
Best Jobs to Productize
Some types of jobs are perfect for packaging. Here’s where fixed pricing really shines:
🔧 Handyman Tasks
- TV mounting
- Furniture assembly
- Hanging shelves, curtains, or mirrors
- Door or drawer fixes
- Minor drywall repairs
Why it works: They’re predictable, repeatable, and don’t vary much house to house.
🚰 Small Plumbing & Electrical Installs
- Faucet or toilet replacement
- Light fixture or ceiling fan install
- Garbage disposal swap
- Bathroom exhaust fan install
Pro tip: Scope these to “like-for-like replacement” to avoid hidden surprises.
❄️ HVAC & Seasonal Tune-Ups
- AC or furnace tune-ups
- Filter replacements
- Thermostat installs
Why it works: These services follow a checklist and are easy to schedule as a flat-fee seasonal offer.
🧹 Cleaning, Gutter, & Lawn Maintenance
- Gutter clearing (priced per linear foot)
- Lawn mowing & edging
- Window cleaning
- One-time deep cleans
Why it works: Repeatable jobs. Easy to estimate time and materials.
🔁 Recurring Maintenance Plans
Bundle regular upkeep into monthly or seasonal packages:
- Spring/Fall HVAC service
- Annual plumbing or electrical checks
- “Handyman for a day” every quarter
Add-on idea: Offer a “Homeowner Membership” with discounts, priority booking, and bundled services.
Why Service Providers Should Offer Flat-Rate Packages
Let’s break it down:
✅ More Bookings, Less Back-and-Forth
Customers love upfront pricing. They’re more likely to say yes when there’s no waiting for quotes.
“I saw what I needed, knew the price, and booked it — easy.”
✅ Fewer Time-Wasting Estimates
No more driving out to quote every small job. Just list it once and let customers book it.
✅ More Predictable Income
You control the price. If you do the job faster, you keep the extra margin.
Flat-rate = value-based pricing, not just hours worked.
✅ Happier Clients
No surprise charges. No “how did this take 4 hours?” disputes.
Just clear expectations and clean transactions.
✅ Easier to Train & Scale
Got a helper or growing your team? Productized jobs are repeatable. That makes training simple and quality more consistent.
✅ Stand Out from Competitors
Most contractors still don’t offer this. That means you do — and win more jobs with less friction.
Real-World Examples
- Angi now offers over 200 pre-priced services (TV mounting, furniture assembly, cleaning, etc.)
- OSCAR, a European app, exploded by offering 200+ flat-rate tasks from plumbing to gardening
- Many small service businesses report doubling or tripling revenue by switching from hourly to fixed-price models
The trend is clear: customers want convenience and clarity. Productized services deliver both.
