The work in Denver
Denver swings thirty degrees in a day and freezes hard at night for months, which is a workload of its own: pipes on exterior walls, sprinkler systems that must be blown out before the first freeze and started again in spring, and finishes that crack in air this dry. Add a decade of infill building and you get old bungalows next to new townhouses on the same block.
- Sprinkler blow-outs and spring start-ups
- Freeze protection and repairs on exterior plumbing
- Bungalow repairs: doors, trim, plaster, basements
- Assembly and mounting in new townhouses
- Decks, fences and outdoor repairs in the short warm season

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
Is the work seasonal?
It rotates rather than stops: irrigation and freeze prep bracket the winter, outdoor carpentry fills the summer, and interior work runs all year.
What licensing applies in Colorado?
Electrical and plumbing are licensed at state level; general contracting is licensed locally, so the city or county sets the rules for permits.
How far do people expect me to travel?
The metro runs a long way north and south. Pick a corridor and say so — distance is matched against where you are based.
When is the money released?
When you finish and the client confirms it — the platform holds the money for the length of the job, so it is there before you start.
