What types of work does a handyman NOT do?

While a handyman is skilled in performing a wide range of tasks, there are certain types of work that may fall outside their scope. These typically include:

  1. Structural or major electrical work: Handyman services are generally not licensed for major structural modifications or extensive electrical projects. For tasks like rewiring a house or adding new rooms, it’s best to hire a licensed electrician or contractor.
  2. Plumbing repairs requiring a license: While handymen can handle basic plumbing tasks like fixing minor leaks or replacing faucets, more complex plumbing repairs that require specialized licensing, such as working on the main water supply or sewer lines, are best left to licensed plumbers.
  3. Roof repairs or replacements: Handymen may be able to perform small roof repairs like fixing loose shingles, but larger-scale roof repairs or replacements should be handled by professional roofing contractors who specialize in such work.
  4. Major HVAC repairs or installations: Handyman services typically do not cover major HVAC system repairs or installations. For complex heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) tasks, it’s advisable to consult an HVAC specialist or technician.
  5. Structural engineering or architectural work: Handymen are not qualified to provide structural engineering or architectural services. If you require structural modifications or architectural designs, it’s essential to engage the services of a licensed professional in the respective field.
  6. Extensive landscaping or tree removal: While handymen can assist with basic landscaping tasks like lawn maintenance or small garden projects, larger-scale landscaping projects or tree removal should be entrusted to professional landscapers or arborists.

Remember, it’s important to assess the specific skills and qualifications of a handyman before assigning them a task. If in doubt, consult a specialist or professional in the relevant field to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently.
