The Handyman Can: An Overview of Their Many Specialties

Why hire a handyman? There are probably more reasons to hire a handyman than you even realize. While generally believed to be a local who is good at wielding a hammer and screwdriver, they often are capable of a variety of useful tasks and can help save you time and money. Here are some common as well as some more unknown abilities that your local handyman or handyman business offer.

Remodeling
Want to raise the value of your home, or perhaps you are just tired of dated furnishings and appliances? A handyman can help you with your next remodeling project, whether it be bathroom, kitchen, or your entire house. A handyman business often employs several specialist, ensuring you’ll be covered from roof to tiles rather than having to find several separate workers or hire multiple companies to assist you.
Air conditioning and heater repair
Summer or winter looming ahead and your climate system is on the fritz? Don’t get caught in a heat wave or a snow storm again by hiring a handyman to repair your air conditioner or heater. Maybe you’ve noticed your energy bills have been skyrocketing lately, or you just want a new system installed. Hire a handyman and not only will you be helping the environment, but your wallet will see a great benefit as well.

Pest Control
Don’t know who to call to take care of that raccoon in the attic? Many a handyman is quite capable of pest control and can help you take care of small and unpleasant problems that arise due to wildlife interfering with your domestic life. While they may not be armed with the latest pesticides, they can help you trap critters that may have wandered into your home or help you find practical solutions for that embarrassing little silverfish dilemma in the garage.

Landscaping
Curb appeal of any home is important, and not just when you’re selling. Your neighbors will be grateful if you finally take care of those weeds and plant that flowerbed you’ve been talking about for ages. If you can’t seem to find the time or hate digging in the dirt, a handyman can take care of the grunt work for you and make your garden shine.

Painting
Whether it’s a few touchups you’ve been meaning to fix up or the entire exterior of your house is in dire need of a makeover, a handyman can help you with your painting projects. The best part about hiring a handyman for your next painting project is that they won’t cut corners (not that you would ever consider that anyways). They’ll prep the area by sanding, filling, and smoothing everything out to ensure the job is done correctly.

General Carpentry
Tired of struggling to put together your own flat packed furniture or can’t be bothered to install a shelf system that is now collecting dust? A handyman can help you fix up your furniture so you suffer less hammer blows to your thumb and you won’t have to worry about putting weight on that table you attempted to assemble yourself.
