Can I subcontract specialized work as a handyman?

Direct answer: Yes, as long as state laws allow it and subcontractors are licensed when required. Be transparent with clients and coordinate professionally.

Practical steps

  • Know the rule: Check your state/city limits for job value and restricted trades.
  • Put it in writing: Use written scope + approvals so disputes don't become stories.
  • Keep proof handy: Store photos, COIs, and key docs per job for fast retrieval.

Next step: Add one sentence of scope/limit language to your estimate footer and use it going forward.
