Who Fixes the Damage After a Florida Storm or a Leak?

One that is licensed, local, and already on your side of town. The Handyman Company has six Florida offices, holds contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, and has worked through Florida storm seasons since 1999. Our own handymen take everything below the roof: fences, screens, soffit, gutters, doors, and the ceilings inside.

Get in the roofer's queue and send us the rest of the list at the same time. The two jobs do not have to wait on each other, except the inside ceiling work, which waits until the roof is dry. Storm damage repair has the full list.

Yes, and that is exactly how we like to do it. One handyman cuts out the wet drywall, rebuilds it, matches the texture, puts the trim back, and paints, on one written price.

The leak itself gets fixed first by a plumber or roofer. If you are not sure who to call first, call us at 800-931-1106 and we will point you in the right direction. What to do first about a wet ceiling is worth a read while you wait.

Ask how they check. Our handymen measure with a moisture meter before any drywall goes back up.

Closing a wall over damp framing traps the water and the repair fails, sometimes with mold behind it. A few days of patience is good insurance against doing the job twice. Once the reading is right, the rebuild moves quickly.

Yes. Hurricane shutter installation is the storm job our customers book most.

We also check the shutter tracks and hardware so the panels actually go up when it counts, check garage door bracing, secure loose gutters and fence posts, and cut and fit plywood for openings that need it. Each job is quoted like any other work, in writing. We also install hurricane-rated exterior doors.

Yes, and caught early it is a small repair. Crumbling grout, a failed caulk line in the shower corner, a cracked tile, or a soft spot of drywall by the tub are all ordinary fixes for our handymen.

Left alone, each one lets water into the wall behind it. Tile and grout repair covers the fixes, and if the damage turns out to be bigger, the same company can take the remodel.

Nearly everything below the roofline. Our handymen repair fences and gates, lanai and window screens, soffit and fascia, gutters, doors, rotted trim, stucco cracks, and the drywall and ceilings a leak ruined.

What we do not do: the roof itself, water drying and mitigation, mold work, and full pool cage roofs. Each of those goes to its own licensed trade, and we say so at the estimate. Exterior and storm repairs lists every service in the group.
