Side note: Do you also think this would have an effect on an individual level? Services such as in-house painting, furniture moving, plumbing work, food delivery etc from outside sources, the fear of contracting a virus could lead more people to take a more Do It Yourself approach and what impact would this have on home delivered services?

I don't see a huge impact on such home delivered services. Even if there's an impact, that will be temporary. Definitely people will have to adopt a new way of living post this pandemic time. Social distancing, wearing mask and use of hand sanitizers will become a norm till the time COVID is permanently removed from the face of earth. But the impact of home delivered services will be temporary, even if it happens in any way!
I do think of the same thought too, if there will be an impact of services like this it would be just like a minor changes like for food deliveries, they will wear a complete PPE (gloves, mask, face shield) to protect them from contacting the virus also for their customer. In the post-pandemic, better to let go of the normal things you do coz there will be a new norms for everything and this is only thing that I would like after this pandemic.
I thank to God because Covid virus is not airborne. So there's a way out if we follow the new rules of life!
If it was airborne then we might be just a dust now lol.
