Startup cost: $2k - $15k

The low-end estimate covers basic tools like a drill, saw, measuring tape, and safety gear, along with a small budget for marketing on social media platforms. Essential costs include licensing and insurance. The high-end estimate includes advanced tools like a table saw, miter saw, and a work truck or van, as well as professional website development, comprehensive marketing campaigns, and premium software for project management. Hidden costs can include ongoing tool maintenance, additional insurance, and unexpected material costs. Many online communities suggest that while starting costs can be low, expenses often increase as the business grows and more projects are taken on.
