Most homeowners can do a lot to maintain their home, but sometimes it makes better sense to call in a pro. He’ll have the tools and knowledge to get the job done faster than going the DIY route.

But what if you don’t want (or don’t have) the budget to hire a professional plumber, electrician or other specialist? When it comes to maintenance issues, you could hire a contractor, but a handyman can accomplish the task faster and for less money.
