Handyman or Contractor? Garage Restoration

Hello Team,

I recently closed on a 3 unit north side property and have a 2 car garage that has been unused for the past ~10 years, sitting on $250/mo of potential income.  The issue is, the garage lift door was installed onto the track to enclose the garage but the remaining overhead supports and track to roll up and open were not installed and various pieces are missing from the parts I could find.  Additionally, there is no insulation on the interior and some exterior siding that could be replaced.  I have called several recommended handymen to see if this project would be in their scope of work but have not heard back.  Hoping to see what they would be able to complete/assess before taking it a step further and engaging a contractor.

Do you have any handymen recommendations?  Should I reach out to a contractor for this type of work?  Looking to BP for any further tips and comments to make this efficient, thank you all!
