What is difference between a handyperson and a contractor in Arizona?

by Michelle Quackenbush

According to Arizona handyman laws, a handyperson without a license can work on minor repairs, carpentry, or basic home improvements without a building permit. This can include replacing light fixtures, putting up drywall, fixing windows, assembling furniture, and installing doors.

In Arizona, a handyman cannot work on projects that cost more than $1,000, require building permits, involve major renovations, or involve structural work on a residential property.

So, if you need help with something under $1,000, you can use a handyperson; if you need help with something over $1,000, you must hire a licensed contractor. Per Arizona laws, a handyman cannot break up the job into smaller jobs to stay under $1,000.

If you need a handy person or a licensed contractor, please contact me for a referral.
