Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a handyman and a licensed contractor?

A handyman typically handles smaller, general repairs and maintenance, while a licensed contractor is needed for larger, permitted work like structural changes or major electrical and plumbing installs.

Do handymen charge by the hour or the job?

Both models are common. Some charge an hourly rate with a minimum, others quote a flat price per task — it's worth asking upfront which one applies.

Can a handyman pull permits?

Generally no. Permitted work usually needs to go through a licensed contractor or trade-specific professional, even if a handyman could physically do the task.
