GREAT AMERICAN HOME & GARDEN REFRESH
When is the right time to use a handyman or carpenter

David Rios , a Palm Springs interior designer and hotelier , said that he uses both handymen and carpenters frequently in his work .
He explained that a carpenter is a skilled craftsman who typically works with wood . Their work often centers on projects such as crown moulding , baseboards , wainscoting and more . Rios said he has requested the services of carpenters to create custom headboards and to bring decorated and detailed designs to life in his projects for David Rios Designs and his new hotel venture , The Velvet Rope .
In contrast , a handyman is skilled in a number of different areas and can help with general fixes around your property . That might include hanging light fixtures , changing light switches , fixing doorknobs , touching up paint jobs and more .
When does Rios know when to call one or the other ? He said he ' ll call a handyman when he knows he could do something himself , but he doesn ' t have the time to do it . For a carpenter , he said it ' ll usually be for a project he ' s thought out and has a specific design for , and he has the money for it .
The cost between these two services is different − Rios said a carpenter might be two to three times more expensive − but they ' re both considered small businesses that deserve support .
" It ' s great to give appreciation to them versus larger corporations , and it keeps them thriving ," Rios said . However , he added that it ' s getting harder to find carpenters who have " that craftmanship of beautiful woodwork ."
