Your list, one visit
Several small jobs?
Send them together. I'll price the list as one visit and work through it in one go.
Not sure where it fits?
Describe the job, not the category
You don't need to know what to call it. "The bathroom door won't stay shut" or "there's a dent where the couch hit the wall" tells me plenty. Send a photo and a sentence and I'll take it from there.
If it turns out to be work for a licensed trade, I'll tell you that too, so you can call the right person the first time.
Are you a licensed contractor?
No. Florida does not license handymen, and I am not a licensed contractor. That is why I keep to the small jobs the state allows a handyman to do and send licensed trades elsewhere.
What don't you do?
Electrical work, plumbing, air conditioning, roofing, structural work and remodels. Florida requires a licensed contractor for those. That includes jobs people often think of as small, such as ceiling fans, light fixtures and outlets.

Tell me what needs doing.
A photo and a sentence or two is plenty. I answer between 8am and 6pm, every day, and you'll have the price in writing before I start.
