Find the handyman businesses to call, and what to say.
Oxpium builds the list of handyman businesses in your area, finds how to reach each owner, tells you when one has a reason to buy, and calls when the owner picks up.

Every handyman business in your area, in one sentence.
Describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague: a city, a radius, a rating, the jobs they take, homeowners or property managers. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website when there is one, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list, not a page of results.
- Reading the request
- Public sources · 612 handyman businesses around Minneapolis
- Filter · rating and reviews
- Cross-checking and de-duplicating
168 handyman businesses, sorted by number of reviews.
An area
A city, a ZIP code or a radius around an address: the agent covers the whole area handymen drive to and hands you one list, with no duplicates.
A rating and reviews
A minimum rating and number of reviews, like 4.7+ with at least 40 reviews around Minneapolis, to target the businesses customers call back.
The jobs they take
Drywall, painting, fixtures, furniture assembly, gutters: the agent reads each website and listing and keeps the ones that advertise your topic.
Homes or properties
Some work for homeowners, others for property managers, landlords and stores: the agent reads it on each website, and you keep who you want.
The owner's cell, and what they really do.
A handyman is rarely at a desk: the owner picks up the cell between jobs and reads email at night. The agent finds both when they exist, reads what each business offers, fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before adding it.
- Reading the request
- Reading websites · 141 businesses with a website
- Verifying emails
122 contact emails found and verified.
The website email
The agent reads each business's website, finds the email published for quote requests, and verifies it before adding it to the list.
The owner and their cell
Their name, email and cell when they exist: in a one- or two-person business, the owner writes every quote and picks every tool.
The jobs they take
Drywall, painting, fixtures, furniture assembly, gutters: every service listed on the website, so you talk to each one about what they do.
Clients and coverage
Homeowners, landlords, property managers or stores, and whether they show “licensed and insured”: each in its own column, from the website.
Automations that run for you, and tell you which handyman to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a first hire, a new service on a website, a week of reviews about quotes that never came. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring
Every weekday morning, an automation flags the businesses that post a technician or helper opening, often their first hire, with the role.
New services
Every month, the agent rereads each website and flags the businesses that add a service, like gutter cleaning or small remodels.
Missed quotes
Every Friday, the businesses whose reviews from the past week say the quote never came or nobody called back show up first.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like handymen that start offering make-ready work to landlords: the agent reruns it and flags what changed.
A campaign that speaks handyman.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that tailors every follow-up. The campaign calls when the owner can pick up, between two jobs, and stops as soon as they reply.
Call the owner
At the lunch break
Calls go out from noon to 1:30 pm, Monday to Friday: the rest of the day, the owner is at a customer's house with both hands busy.
Winter is the window
Spring and summer fill every calendar: run the campaign from November to February, when owners have time to listen and set up something new.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step reads the business's website, postings or reviews to write each follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as an owner replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, with every call recorded, transcribed and summarized.
Frequently asked questions
Write “handyman businesses within 20 miles of Denver, rated 4.5 and above”. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads the websites when there are some, removes duplicates and closed businesses, and hands you the list with each one's rating, number of reviews, phone and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for the owner's cell and the email on the website. The cell gets picked up at lunch; the email gets read at night, while quotes are written. The agent finds both when they exist, verifies every email, and the campaign only calls between noon and 1:30 pm.
Tell the agent once: “every weekday morning, flag the businesses on my list that post a technician or helper opening”. The automation runs on its own, and those businesses land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge and the role next to it.
A call over lunch, an email right after to leave a trace, a second call three days later in the same window, a last message. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as an owner replies.
For 500 businesses with their website read, 280 emails and 140 cell phones, count around €70 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes, most of them. Many solo handymen have no website and no entry in professional databases, but they do have a public business listing with a phone number and reviews. Starting from a city and a radius, the agent finds them there.
