You will need to advertise. I recommend staying far away from social media, because you know why. Put out flyers locally. Perhaps there are places where you live that allow you to put up a paper “billboard” advertising your services. Maybe hardware stores or places like that? Good luck.
I believe you need to find an electronic way to get customer reviews online so people can see the work you have done, and how pleased they were with that work. I am not sure what alternatives there are out there to doing that - from a small business perspective - on Facebook.
Also advertising online through the Yellow Pages in your local area would be useful.
Undercutting the bigger competition is smart as you are a one man shop. Make sure you “pay yourself first” meaning you don’t take on jobs that will lose money (your time).

Absolutely, thanks. What about undercutting the bigger companies? If they charge $200 for a removal, should I charge $75 to get my name out there?
