Handyman vs. General Contractor: Which Do You Need?

The right choice depends on project size, complexity, licensing and coordination needs.

Choose a handyman for

• Small repairs and maintenance
• Mounting and installations
• Painting touch-ups
• Minor carpentry
• Property punch lists

Choose a general contractor for

• Large remodels
• Projects involving multiple licensed trades
• Structural changes
• Permit-heavy work
• Complex scheduling and subcontractor management

Ask before scheduling

Describe the work clearly and ask whether the provider is qualified and permitted to perform that exact scope in your location.
