A handyperson, handyman, or handywoman is a a person
competent in a variety of trade skills, 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 may
be employed range from minor to major, and may include such jobs as painting,
drywall
repair, remodeling, minor plumbing work, minor electrical work, and furniture
assembly. Furniture assemblers have grown in number since the furniture industry
has moved toward compact delivery and boxes which fit through narrow hallways.

Some, but not all, handypeople are
licensed and
insured. Some jurisdictions require licensing and/or insurance.
(... they can generally undertake minor plumbing work, such as replacing
taps, connecting up new sinks, fixing dripping taps, or installing new
washing machines). |

There are professional handyperson companies that will
perform small home or commercial projects. Such companies can often claim
the benefit of being properly insured and licensed (where applicable) and
can provide scheduling and customer service functions for their staff of
handypeople. These companies employ handypeople either as full-time, direct
employees, or as sub-contractors.
