The work in Dallas
Dallas grew outwards and keeps going, which means most of the housing is newer than the East Coast stock and most of the work is wear rather than age. Slab foundations move with the clay soil, so doors stick and hairline cracks open in ways they do not further north, and everything with an outdoor component takes a beating from summer heat and spring hail.
- Doors and windows that stop closing as the slab moves
- Fence and gate repairs after spring storms
- Fixture, faucet and disposal replacement in newer homes
- Drywall patching and interior paint
- Furniture assembly and mounting in apartment complexes

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
Do I need a licence in Texas?
Texas licenses plumbing, electrical and HVAC at state level. General handyman work is not licensed the same way, but city permit rules still apply to some jobs.
How wide should I set my area?
This metro is large enough that crossing it eats a job. Most pros pick a quadrant — north, east, the mid-cities — and work it properly.
Is storm season worth planning for?
Hail and wind create weeks of fence, gate and exterior work every spring. Pros who prepare for it book out; the rest arrive after the queue has formed.
When do I get paid?
The client pays through the platform and the funds reach your payout account when the job is finished.
