A general contractor is needed to oversee and direct the various skill areas on large projects. Similar to a remodeler, but with specialized skills in renovations of bathrooms, fences, and windows. A handyman is needed for jobs like repairing drywall, replacing doors and cabinets, installing fans, and fixing fascia boards and damaged soffits outside.
If you are in doubt, hire a handyman to see which items they can work on and which ones you need a specialized contractor.
