When You Should Use a Handyman Versus Another Home Service Pro
We hear the terms handyman, electrician, plumber, and contractor thrown around all of the time. But most people aren't very solid on knowing when to use a handyman versus another home service professional.
Handymen typically have a great all-around knowledge skills set, but generally don't have extensive know-how in big home projects and renovations, nor do they have the licensing requirements fulfilled to do them legally. Laws vary state to state, but for the most part, a handyman just needs to be insured.
Hiring a handyman can save you money on simple home repairs or home improvement projects compared to hiring a specialist in the field if the task isn't too complicated or time consuming. A handyman is perfect for certain projects around the home, including:
Small paint jobs
Ceiling fan/light fixture installation
Appliance installation
Caulking and Grouting
Small paint jobs
Minor electrical
Drywall repair
Hanging art
Hanging shelves
Changing light bulbs
Basically, if you're not very handy, short on time, short on propers tools, have phisical limitations, or if you have aging parents who need general help with the upkeep of their home, then hire a handy man. But, if you need a home improvement project beyond the scope and caliber of something similar to one of these jobs, then it's best to hire a professional who specializes in and is licensed in that field. Contractors are perfect for removing walls or putting up new ones, full bathroom remodels, installing windows, etc. Same goes for electricians, plumbers, or HVAC home service professionals. If the renovation or repair is extensive and time consuming, then contact a licensed pro in that field. Otherwise, a handyman is an appropriate and cost effective option to help you complete your Home Improvement Columbus and repair projects.
