Handyman vs roofer

When to call a handyman versus a roofer. Minor fixes and gutter cleaning versus structural roof work and full replacements.

Handymen can handle small exterior tasks: cleaning gutters, patching a few loose shingles, sealing minor leaks. Roofers are specialists — they inspect, repair, and replace roofs, install flashing, and handle storm damage. For a loose gutter or a single shingle, a handyman may suffice. For anything involving multiple areas of roof damage, ice dams, or a full re-roof, always hire a licensed roofer. Safety and warranty depend on it. Both are listed on HireLocal.
