(Redirected from Handyman)
Originally handyman [hndee mn] (plural handymen [hndee mn]), handyperson is the politically correct term referring to a person competent in a variety of trade skills, inventive/ingenious repair, and maintenance work. The term often describes someone who is paid for the application of these skills around the home. Tasks for which a handyperson is employed may be as simple as a minor drywall repair, or as complex as remodeling a bathroom.

Some handypersons are more skilled than others and perform more than just general repairs. A good handyperson is skillful, dexterous, practical, clever, able, competent, and proficient in whatever it is they are doing. Some handypersons are licensed (THE HIRED HAND IS). Some are not. There are different laws for different jurisdictions and licensing/insurance are not always required.

Many handypersons can be found through the traditional methods (referral, Search Engine, Telephone Directory, local newspaper,WebPagesetc.). Some handypersons are hired as day labor from the parking lots of local hardware stores,but -This latter method is not recommended!! Since a handyperson is often given access to the interior of a home, trustworthiness and general comfort level are of great concern when hiring one!

THE HIRED HANDnot only services the general public but also businesses. Several local businesses including doctor's offices and retirement / assisted living communities have needed us to do things such as making deliveries, changing fluorescent lighting, fixing cabinets, tightening knobs, installing bathroom towel dispensers, installing bifold doors, blinds,...

We can do a great many things and if we can't we're up-front and let you know! We can set-up a contracted time to come to your office on a regular basis to take care of those little maintenance jobs. No job is too small but they all require attention!
