Handymen: common questions

What jobs can a handyman do?

Assembly, mounting, small repairs, drywall patches, caulking, door and hardware fixes and most odd jobs. Bigger electrical, plumbing, gas or structural work should go to a licensed contractor.

Do handymen charge by the hour or by the job?

Both are common. Hourly with a minimum is typical for to-do lists; a flat price is typical for a single defined job like mounting a TV.
