Q: What’s the difference between a handyperson and a contractor?

• <div><p>A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you&rsquo;ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.</p><p>A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn&rsquo;t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.</p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask a handyperson before hiring?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they&rsquo;re the right person for the job:</p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any references?</p></li><li><p>Will you provide a written estimate and contract?</p></li><li><p>How much do you expect materials to cost?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the project to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide a guarantee for the job?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do handypeople need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most states, handypeople do not need to be licensed to perform simple home repair tasks and smaller jobs. When projects exceed specific cost amounts, however, ranging from $500 in California to $50,000 in other states, some municipalities consider them to be contractors, meaning they need to be licensed. To learn if your handyperson should be licensed to work on your job, contact your local governing body or state contractors&rsquo; licensing board before starting any work.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a maintenance man and a handyman?

• <div><p>While a handyperson will do the odd small job for your home, a maintenance person is responsible for conducting regular inspections and repairs. Maintenance people may come in to do small fixes and diagnose any issues you might be facing, but may not have all the same technical abilities as a handyperson.</p></div>

Q: How do I schedule a handyman for multiple tasks?

• <div><p>Prioritize tasks and arrange a consultation to discuss scope and timeline with the handyman.</p></div>
