How can a handyman make estimates clearer for clients who don't understand construction terms?

Direct answer: Stop scope confusion by quoting with photos embedded or attached to the line items they refer to.

Practical steps

• Attach visual references: Use photos of the exact area being fixed.
• Use plain-language labels: Replace jargon with 'replace, repair, install' wording.
• Tie photos to scope: Number photos and match them to estimate sections.

Next step: Add three labeled photos to your next estimate and see how much faster it gets approved.
