Should I hire a handyman or a specialist for this job?

I'd love to help you decide! To give you the best recommendation, could you tell me a bit more about what you need done?

In general, here's how to think about it:

Hire a handyman for: - General repairs (drywall patching, painting, caulking) - Furniture assembly - Mounting TVs, shelves, or fixtures - Minor plumbing (fixing leaks, replacing faucets) - Basic electrical (outlets, switches, light fixtures) - Handyman work that doesn't require permits

Hire a specialist for: - Major electrical work (panel upgrades, rewiring) - Plumbing that requires permits or affects main lines - HVAC work (furnace, AC installation/repair) - Roofing - Foundation issues - Gas line work - Anything requiring licensing or building permits

The money question: Handymen are usually more affordable for smaller jobs, while specialists charge more but bring deep expertise for complex work.
