Imagine ticking off your home repair list without lifting a finger. Handybeeman explores what a handyman can legally tackle, how they differ from contractors, and when to call one in.

What Is a Handyman?

A handyman is a versatile fixer—think picture hanging, shelf building, or drywall patching. Some specialize in areas like carpentry, while others handle a broad range of small jobs.

Does a Handyman Need a License?

Licensing varies by state and task. Jobs like plumbing, electrical work, or HVAC often require a licensed pro. For simpler fixes—say, installing a faucet or painting—no license is typically needed. Check your state’s rules to be sure.

Handyman Tasks

Handymen shine with everyday home fixes:

Kitchen & Bath: Install appliances, fix sinks, unclog drains, tile, or set up countertops.
Outdoors: Repair decks, build fences, clean gutters, hang lights, or power wash.
Indoors: Hang doors, install blinds, lay flooring, paint, or fix drywall.

For big electrical or plumbing jobs, opt for a licensed contractor instead.

Handyman Rules in Texas

In Texas, handymen don’t need a license for general tasks—freedom reigns in this free-market state. But plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work demand licensed pros. Stick to a handyman for smaller, non-specialized jobs.
