Handymen in Florida cannot legally operate because the handyman license is too restrictive and general contractor license does not cover electrical or plumbing work, making it impossible to be both legal and insured.

No license or insurance product exists that covers the full scope of handyman work across multiple trades (e.g., electrical, plumbing, general repairs) in Florida.
