What is the difference between a handyman, a carpenter, and a plumber?

A handyman, a carpenter, and a plumber all have different areas of expertise and responsibilities.

A handyman: is a generalist who can perform a wide range of repairs and maintenance tasks around the house, including minor electrical, plumbing, and carpentry work. They typically have a broad range of skills and can handle many different types of projects, but may not have the same level of expertise as a specialist in a particular field.

A carpenter:  is a skilled tradesperson who specializes in building and repairing structures made of wood and other materials. They may work on new construction, remodeling, or repair projects, and may also be involved in the installation of drywall, cabinetry, and other finishes.

A plumber:  is a professional who specializes in the installation, repair, and maintenance of the systems that carry water, gas, and waste through a building. They may work on everything from fixing a leaky faucet to installing a new sewer line. They also work on heating and air conditioning systems, installing new pipes, and maintaining water supply lines.

In summary, a handyman is a generalist that can do a variety of tasks, a carpenter specializes in wooden structures and finishing, and a plumber specializes in water, gas, and waste systems.
