Before you name your business, make sure you run a check to make sure no one else owns that name. Make a list of names you like. ask friends for suggestions. If you're doing a little of everything, you could call it Jacks maintenance or Joe's servicing company. Something. You have to think of it on your own :) Good luck
p.s. Make sure you have all insurances you will need for your company, and permits, and legal issues taken care of before you go to work in someone's home!

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You should name it something people are familiar with, such as the flower of your state, or the name of a mountain range nearby. They say that familiar names make people more responsive as they "think" they've heard of you before. For example, I am in Arizona and everything is named "diamondback...." or "saguaro...", etc....
Don't name it initials of your names. People will forget too easily.
