Local conditions that affect handyman services here

Ice dams, gutter capacity and roof drainage need attention before and during winter.
Landscaping is seasonal; snow removal replaces it for much of the year.
Occasional severe weather makes an annual exterior and drainage review worthwhile.

Licensing and insurance

Handyman work is usually unlicensed below a dollar threshold that varies by state, but anything structural, electrical, plumbing or HVAC crosses into licensed trades.
