The work in Atlanta
Atlanta is a driving city with a lot of trees, and both show up in the work: long distances between jobs, and constant outdoor maintenance from storms, humidity and everything that grows into a roofline. Housing runs from intown bungalows to sprawling subdivisions, and the two produce different lists.
- Storm-related repairs: fences, gutters, exterior trim
- Deck and porch maintenance in heat and humidity
- Interior repairs and drywall in subdivision housing
- Fixture, faucet and disposal work
- Assembly and mounting after a move

Before you take work in the US
HandyMan does not issue licences or permits, and nothing here is legal advice — the rules in the US are yours to meet. This is what pros usually have to sort out first.
- Licensing is set by the state, and often by the city on top of that. Some states license handyman work above a dollar threshold; others license only the specific trades.
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC are licensed trades nearly everywhere. Check your state board before you accept that work, not after.
- Carry liability insurance, and workers compensation if you bring anyone with you. Clients and building managers ask for certificates.
- You are an independent contractor on this platform: you set your rates, you handle your own taxes, and you receive a 1099 where the thresholds apply.
Questions pros ask
What does Georgia require?
Georgia licenses contractors at state level above certain thresholds and licenses electrical, plumbing and HVAC as trades. Check the state licensing board for your work.
How much driving should I expect?
More than you would like. Pros who work a defined arc of the metro fit more jobs into a day than those who take everything.
Is humidity really a factor?
It shortens the life of exterior wood, paint and seals, which turns into repeat work rather than one-time repairs.
How do I get paid?
The client pays through the platform; the money reaches you on completion.
