What can a handyman do without a license?

In North Carolina, handymen are generally allowed to perform minor repairs and maintenance tasks without a license. However, there are limitations on the scope of work they can undertake without a license. According to North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, handymen can perform tasks that do not exceed $30,000 in value for any single job.

Examples of tasks that handymen can typically perform without a license in North Carolina include:

1. Painting

2. Drywall repair

3. Minor plumbing repairs, such as fixing leaks or replacing faucets

4. Minor electrical work, such as replacing light fixtures or installing ceiling fans

5. Installing fixtures such as shelves or curtain rods

6. Carpentry work, including installing trim or repairing decks

7. Assembling furniture

8. Basic landscaping and yard maintenance

However, if the value of the project exceeds $30,000 or if the work requires specialized skills or licensing, handymen may be required to obtain a contractor's license or hire a licensed contractor to complete the work. We have a team in place to insure proper licenses requirements are met prior to beginning your project.

How Important Is It for a Handyman to Have a Truck?

Having a truck is essential for a handyman as it allows for the efficient transportation of tools, equipment, and materials to and from job sites. With a truck, our handymen can easily transport large or heavy items, such as lumber, appliances, or furniture, without the need for multiple trips or relying on client transportation.

What Should Customers Know About Handyman Pricing?

Customers should be aware that the pricing of handyman services can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the project, materials needed, and the amount of time required for completion. It's important to communicate openly with your handyman about your budget and expectations to ensure clarity and transparency throughout the process. Additionally, some handymen may charge hourly rates, while others may offer flat fees or estimates for specific projects. Understanding the pricing structure and discussing any potential additional costs upfront can help avoid surprises and ensure a smooth and satisfactory experience. At [Your Handyman Business Name], we strive to provide fair and competitive pricing while delivering high-quality workmanship and excellent customer service.
