        "text": "Hiring a licensed general contractor is better when repairs cross multiple trades or involve structural components, while a standard handyman is suited for quick, isolated tasks. If your maintenance involves repairing drywall after a plumbing leak, fixing subflooring under loose bathroom tile, or repairing structural framing, a general contractor coordinates the trades under one roof. The practical tradeoff is that a general contractor may require scheduling around multi-step phases, but you avoid managing separate painters, carpenters, and specialty trades yourself while ensuring the work meets building standards.",
