Startup costs are typically around $10,000 to $40,000, depending on your vehicle, tools, samples, insurance and how you set up supplier accounts. Treat this as an estimate and price your own setup before you commit.

Check licensing and home building contract rules for your state and job value. Also check public liability insurance, possible home warranty insurance on larger domestic jobs, and that products meet window energy rating and building code requirements locally.

Monthly revenue is typically around $8,000 to $35,000, depending on how many jobs you quote and win. Expect at least about 30 hours a week. Deposits and supplier payment timing can affect cash flow, so plan for that.
