How it's used
While this term is perfectly standard, it is increasingly rare to hear it in casual conversation because most people now refer to these professionals by the more specific term 裝修師傅 when they are doing home renovations. Using this word can sometimes sound slightly old fashioned or evoke a traditional image of someone working with hand tools in a small workshop. If you are hiring someone to fix furniture, you are more likely to use the broader term 師傅.
