        "text": "A general contractor manages large-scale projects, coordinating all aspects from planning and permitting to hiring subcontractors for specialized tasks like plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. They oversee the entire project scope, budget, and timeline. A handyman, conversely, typically handles smaller, single-trade jobs or repair tasks that do not require extensive planning or permits. For comprehensive remodels, a general contractor is essential; for minor repairs, a handyman is suitable.",
