Handymen are jacks of all trades. They have the tools and the know-how to help out with a variety of jobs. Many people hire handymen for the jobs that they can't ever seem to get around to or the jobs that are too difficult or require specialized knowledge that they don't have. Here are six problems a handyman might be able to help you fix!

1. Leaky Faucet

A leaky faucet can be an annoying and persistent problem that keeps you up at night. Not only is a leaky faucet annoying, but it also wastes water and can drive your water bill up sky high. If the leak is outside of the sink itself or is somewhere in the piping, you could have water damage. It's best to have a leak fixed as soon as you notice it. Most handyman services can easily spot and fix a leak. 

2. Unruly Trees

Trees are a beautiful part of any landscaping, but they can quickly grow out of control. Pruning back trees and shrubs is within the wheelhouse of many handymen. Having a handyman trim your trees will ensure that they are controlled and stay healthy and strong. Handymen can also help clear up leaves in the fall or fallen branches from a storm. 

3. Weeds

Weeds can overwhelm your yard and invade your garden and flowerbeds. The job of cutting them back and pulling them out can seem daunting; a handyman can help. Handymen can pull your weeds or spray weed killer where needed to make your yard the domain of your grass and flowers again. 

4. Un-Mowed Lawn

One of the most unavoidable chores of yard upkeep is lawn mowing. An untrimmed yard can quickly look sloppy. A handyman can mow your lawn regularly through the summer months to keep your lawn looking neat and clean. 

5. Junk Piles

Sometimes your garage or backyard can collect old car parts, lawn equipment, playground equipment, or other miscellaneous things that you no longer need or want. All this junk can block your way and look unsightly. Moving heavy items on your own is difficult and dangerous. A handyman, or a couple of handymen, can move junk out of your house, garage, or backyard. They can drag your unwanted stuff to the dump, thrift store, or salvage yard. 

6. Peeling Paint

An old paint job can start to peel, and it can affect the look and feel of your home. Painting can be a lot of work, and you can hire a handyman to do the job of giving your room or home a fresh coat of paint.
