Handyman FAQs

What kind of work does a handyman do?

Handymen perform a huge variety of tasks depending on their particular specialty. Most can accomplish some basic plumbing and electrical work, and virtually all of them can do simple tasks like furniture assembly, television mounting and various fix-up tasks. Some may even perform outdoor work like yard maintenance and tree trimming.

What is expected from a handyman?

A handyman typically comes to your home to perform a predetermined task. Usually, this is just one task, or one task performed multiple times (such as mounting three different televisions), but if you work with them beforehand they may be able to do a few different tasks during their visit. In terms of their skills, you should expect them to be able to accomplish the task for which they were hired and for them to maintain professional standards of quality with their work.

What are basic handyman skills?

Basic handyman skills include competency with tools and basic plumbing and electrical work. It is generally not expected that they can perform intensive electrical, plumbing or HVAC work, but many handymen are capable of simple fixes for all of these systems. If you're unsure of whether or not something you need help with falls into the skillset of a typical handyman, get in touch with them beforehand.

What can a handyman fix?

Handymen can fix just about anything so long as it does not require highly specialized knowledge. Whether you need them to fix a chair, assemble a bed, mount a television or unclog a drain, you should expect that a handyman knows how to do all of these things, or will at least notify you that they cannot do something before they arrive at your home.
