By national ratios Newark supports about 1,300 full-time handyman pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. Only 24 % of homes are owner-occupied: landlords, building managers and housing associations place much of the work, often as recurring contracts. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
