Handyman vs. General Contractor: When to Call Which

Not every job needs a full remodel crew. Here’s how to decide between a handyman visit and a general contracting project.

Use a handyman for punch lists, single repairs, installs, and small multi-item visits. Use a general contractor when trades must be sequenced, permits or multi-room work apply, or the job spans several days with materials coordination.

MRM handles both — so you get the right scope without calling three companies.
