Well with a handyman you're kinda expected to at least do the legwork of finding the product you want. They aren't interior designers. That's not a huge deal in the age of the internet. Even Home Depot has a pretty wide variety they can order for you if they don't have it there. Just speak to one of the reps in that section towards the back. I believe they do custom as well.

Any handyman job I've done in the past (things that are just too much for me given tools or whatnot), I've got what's needed (not just ordered, but have it), and I've gotten a few names from neighbors that they've used recently and gotten some quotes. Product is already on site. They just gotta install and bring whatever tools and misc needed for the job.

A contractor is going to give you a much more insane price. You've got to make it worth them being distracted from 5 figure jobs.

Contractors are all inclusive. Handyman is more… just do the labor.
