Common questions
What jobs does a handyman handle, and what needs a licensed trade?
Handymen typically take small repairs such as hanging shelves, mounting a TV, fixing doors, and patching drywall. Plumbing work in Philadelphia must be done by a licensed master plumber, so see the Plumbers page for plumbing jobs. Ask any handyman which jobs they take before you book.
