pretty much. There might be a buff somewhere that will turn your sim into a handyman, like the maid cheat, but I haven't located it yet.

You could also try finding a handyman you like, shift-clicking them and then setting Add To Family. Perhaps they'll keep acting like handymen! I'll give that a try.
