Handyman vs. Licensed Contractor

 

First of all, a handyman is NOT a licensed contractor. They have to have a business license, but that does not mean they are licensed contractors. They have limitations on what service(s) they are able to provide and there are certain repairs and procedures that lawfully can only be accomplished (legally) by a licensed contractor.

Per Nevada Revised Statues (NRS) 624, the followings are some of the guidelines;

- Any work where the cost of materials and labor exceed $1,000 cannot be accomplished by a handyman.
- Any work that requires a permit cannot be accomplished by a Handyman.
- A Handyman cannot perform any work in areas where the repairs can only be accomplished by a licensed contractor. This specifically includes the following four (4) categories: 
 Plumbing 
 Electrical 
 HVAC 
 Fire protection
