A handyman is a multi-skilled service professional who performs general repair, maintenance, installation, and improvement work that does not require advanced licensing. In contrast to plumbers, electricians, or HVAC technicians, handymen deal with a range of tasks that are smaller in scope but occur more frequently.
Within today’s home service ecosystems, the handyman takes on a crucial role managing the “in-between” tasks that homeowners are not willing to do themselves but do not want to pay for at the high trade rates either. This versatility is what makes handyman services one of the fastest-growing segments in local service economies.
