Handyman vs. General Contractor: How Metro Detroit Property Owners Decide

Save time and money by choosing the right level of service — handyman visit vs. general contracting project — with examples from commercial and residential work.

Not every job needs a full remodel crew. Use this decision guide for Metro Detroit homes, suites, and retail locations.

Call a handyman when

• You have a punch list of small repairs
• Work is mostly single-trade and can finish in one or two visits
• You need speed more than design-build scope

Call a general contractor when

• Multiple trades must be sequenced
• The project spans rooms or several days with materials coordination
• You need a single accountable lead for a renovation-style scope
