Handyman questions, answered
Pricing, minimums, materials and timing, including “why won’t you swap my ceiling fan?”
Pricing & payment
How do you price a job?
By the job for common jobs, by the hour with a one-hour minimum for small mixed lists, or a half-day or day block for long lists. Always in writing before we start.
Is there a trip charge?
No drive-time charge in Sanford. For the towns farther out we group visits on the days we’re nearby.
How do I pay?
Card, check or bank transfer when the list is done and you’ve walked through it with us.
Materials
Do you bring the materials?
For most jobs, yes. Anything over about $50 is approved with you first, at cost with the receipt.
Can I supply my own fixtures?
Of course. Pulls, hardware, a mount you’ve chosen: we’ll install what you have if it’s right for the job.
What we do
Why won’t you swap my ceiling fan?
Connecting a fan or fixture is electrical work, which needs a licensed electrician in Florida. We leave it on your list, marked.
Do you do bigger remodels?
No. We’re a handyman business: repairs and installs, not remodels. For a kitchen or a bath remodel we’ll tell you to call a licensed contractor.
Are you insured?
Yes, general liability on every job. We’ll send the certificate to your landlord or HOA on request.
Timing & access
How soon can you come?
Most lists within a week; small jobs often sooner. You request a day and we confirm the time with you.
Do I need to be home?
For most homeowners, yes, at least at the start and end. Landlords and agents usually give us a lockbox code.
