        "text": "You need a general contractor when your project involves multiple trades, structural framing, or coordinated utility updates. While a handyman can handle minor drywall patches or single-fixture replacements, a full kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel requires coordinated sequencing across carpentry, tiling, plumbing, and electrical work. Working with a contractor gives you a single point of contact on-site who oversees the entire build, ensures finish carpentry and tile work meet quality standards, and manages trade partners to keep the project compliant and organized.",
