Write the list before you call
Most handymen charge a minimum or a half day rate, so one visit covering six small jobs is far better value than six separate visits. Measure anything that needs a part and take photos so the quote reflects the real work.
When you need a licensed trade instead
New circuits, gas appliances, moving plumbing and anything structural generally require a licensed contractor and often a permit. A good handyman will say so rather than take the job on.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a handyman and a contractor?
A handyman handles smaller repairs and installations, usually working alone and billing by the hour or half day. A general contractor manages larger projects, pulls permits and coordinates licensed trades across a longer schedule.
Is there a minimum charge for handyman work?
Usually yes. Many charge a one hour or two hour minimum, or a half day rate, which is why bundling several tasks into a single visit gives you more for the same money.
Can a carpenter build custom cabinets on site?
Some do, others install pre-made or shop-built units. Custom work takes longer and costs more, so say whether you want custom cabinets, pre-made cabinets installed, or existing cabinets refaced.
