        "text": "A general contractor is licensed and insured to manage and execute large-scale, complex remodeling projects that often require multiple trades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry). They oversee the entire project, from design to completion, including hiring subcontractors, managing budgets, and securing permits. A handyman typically handles smaller repairs, maintenance tasks, or minor improvements that do not involve significant structural changes or require permits. For substantial remodels, a general contractor is the appropriate choice.",
