Industry Targets: Service & Repair Jobs
Healthy home service companies target 55–65% gross margin on service calls. Below 50% and you'll likely struggle to cover overhead and stay profitable.
Labor
What it is: Estimated hours for the whole job — all workers, start to finish including setup and cleanup.
Add a 15–20% buffer if you're unsure. Jobs almost always take longer than expected.
