A handyman handles small to mid-size jobs that don't cross into licensed-trade territory: drywall repair and patching, painting, fixture replacement (where existing wiring is in place), light carpentry, furniture assembly, door rehang, weatherstripping, caulking, hardware installs, mounting heavy items into studs, pressure washing, and basic deck or fence repair.

Six questions before you hire

  1. For my state, is this job above the threshold that requires a contractor license?
  2. Do you carry liability insurance? (Even small jobs can do five-figure damage.)
  3. How do you price — hourly with a minimum, or flat per task?
  4. Do you bring your own materials or do I supply them?
  5. What's your guarantee if a repair fails within a few weeks?
  6. How are change-orders handled if the job opens up something bigger?
A "handyman" willing to do major plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work without a license — that's how houses end up with insurance-disqualifying defects.
