Most handymen and laborers prefer cash because it lets them fudge income for tax purposes. No paper trail means you can underreport.

I am kind of surprised that (non-certified) checks are still a thing. Most places refuse to take them for major purchases and everyplace that does usually allows credit/debit cards which are way more convenient. I have used the same book of checks since 2012, and it is still like half full.
