A HANDYMAN’S JOB DESCRIPTION

A handyman (or repairman) mainly performs small repair jobs and tasks around the home or yard for a fee. Although handymen are historically male, women are beginning to perform more of these tasks and repairs. Some handymen have licenses to work on particular systems, while others stick to more general tasks which don’t require licensing.

A handyman can often be found by flyers on community bulletin boards and in local stores. Word of mouth is also a good way to find a handyman, since satisfied customers will be happy to recommend someone who did a good job. A handyman can sometimes be more useful than a specialist, because he can perform a wide range of tasks in one visit. However, the quality of service provided by a handyman can also vary widely, so it is a good idea to ask for recommendations before hiring someone.
