DIY vs. Hiring a Handyman: When to Call the Pros

Not every home repair needs a professional, but some definitely do. Here's our guide:

Good for DIY:
- Painting a single room (with proper prep)
- Basic caulking
- Replacing outlet covers
- Hanging pictures and curtains

Call a Handyman:
- Two-story or vaulted ceiling work
- Drywall repair (matching texture is tricky!)
- Multiple room painting projects
- Anything involving ladders over 6 feet
- Plumbing beyond basic fixes
- Electrical work (always hire licensed pros)

Why hire a pro?
- Safety first - ladders and tools are dangerous
- Time savings - we're 3-4x faster than DIY
- Quality results - texture matching, clean lines
- Warranty on work

A Quality Handyman is fully insured and guarantees all our work.
