If I had a handyman for a day I would use him / her to....

I`d be curious to see how everyone would answer this question. Please offer any suggestions. We are doing some due diligence on a handyman franchise.

No seriously, I`m pretty handy but I think where the business would be very useful would be with businesses. Our salon constantly needs to be painted, lights changed, shelves fixed, tons of stuff always needs to be done. Now if I could spend some cash and have someone come in and do that "grunt" work I pay for the service, if it was cheap enough. I`m sure lots of businesses are that way, desks need to be built or moved, cubicals need to be built the list goes on and on.
May I ask what state you are in? I`m looking at a handyman franchise myself in Oregon and would like to compare.
No, seriously. I am in the middle of running a business and renovating a house, so he could sand beams, finish plastering the cathedral ceiling, lay hardwood floor, paint the walls, install a pantry, put an island in the kitchen, install granite countertops, and rip down a wall. Oh, yes, and completely renovate the basement.
Of course, all of this couldn`t be done in a day, so maybe you could find clients like me who would need a handyman-for-a-day for more than one day.
Best of luck!
