Understanding the Difference
In Kentucky, the lines between handyman work and contractor work come down to scope, permits, and licensing requirements.
When a Handyman Is Right
Small Repairs
- Drywall patches under 4 sq ft
- Replacing light fixtures (simple swap)
- Door adjustments and hardware
- Caulking and sealing
- Minor plumbing (faucet replacement)
- Touch-up painting
Skilled trades for every repair
Clear scope, accurate dimensions, and job-site photos help any project move faster. For current ASB work, that usually means welding, fabrication, gates, railings, stairs, and repair across Central Kentucky.
