The FB Advert You’ll See: “Handyman services. Shelves, cupboards, minor repairs, furniture assembly, leaky taps. No job too small. Call now!” This is the most common and broadest category.
The Community Context: The “handyman” is the backbone of suburban and township maintenance. People have a long list of small, nagging jobs that don’t justify calling a specialized plumber or electrician but are beyond their own skill or time. Trust is the absolute key here.
The Job Creation Opportunity: This is the largest group. They are jacks-of-all-trades but often masters of none. Their challenge is differentiation and moving from one-off small jobs to consistent, reliable contract work.
