Not sure how much this will help but use your age as an advantage, people love to see young people hustle. I’m also a younger guy, and in my experience the majority of people love to help out the younger guys. You 100% will come across customers who are skeptical because of your age but if you let the work talk for itself, those are the customers who are the happiest at the end and give me the most referrals , often giving me a tip as well. Good luck this year

After getting permission from customer make sure you take before after pics. Those come in handy making a portfolio. Alot of the customers that are skeptical because of age can be swayed with those pictures. I also ask to use certain people as a reference. There is a phrase that goes the proof is in the pudding. Those pictures and job references are the best “pudding” you can have.
