Handyman or handyperson

refers to a person competent in a variety of trade skills, inventive/ingenious repair, and maintenance work. The term often describes someone who is paid for the application of these skills around the home. Tasks for which a handyperson is employed may be as simple as a minor drywall repair, or as complex as remodeling a bathroom.

Some handypersons are more skilled than others and perform more than just general repairs. A good handyperson is skillful, dexterous, practical, clever, able, competent, and proficient in whatever it is they are doing. Some handypersons are licensed and insured. Some are not. There are different laws for different jurisdictions and licensing/insurance are not always required. In most jurisdictions, a handyperson cannot legally perform plumbing (they can undertake minor works such as replacing taps, connecting up new sinks, fixing dripping taps or installing new washing machines etc.), electrical wiring or gas-fitting services without being licensed in the applicable trade. This is for safety reasons. See Holmes On Homes for clarification.
