Sanford's standout
Bathroom Remodeling in Sanford
When Sanford homeowners call about a bathroom project, they usually mean the whole room. The tub is stained, the tile is cracked, the vanity is coming apart at the bottom. That is why a full remodel is one of the jobs the city asks us for most. We see it in the bungalows near downtown and in the 1980s homes off Lake Mary Boulevard.
Our own handymen, never subcontractors, tear the room out and check what is behind the tile before anything new goes up. In an older house that sometimes means a soft subfloor by the toilet, and we fix it while the floor is open. Then come the new shower walls, floor tile, vanity, toilet, and fixtures. A tub can become a walk-in shower with a low curb.
Plan on one to two weeks for most bathroom remodels. The full price covers labor and materials, and it is in writing before work starts. When the job needs a City of Sanford permit, we pull it under our own licenses.

Drywall Repair in Sanford, Old Houses and New
Sanford has some of the oldest houses in Central Florida, and old houses move. A crack runs up from the corner of a door. A seam opens across the ceiling. Newer homes in 32773 get the everyday kind too: a doorknob hole, a nail pop, a stain under the air handler once its drain line is fixed.
The handyman finds out why the crack came back before patching it, so you are not paying for the same spot twice. Then they cut back to sound board, tape and coat it, and match the texture, whether it is smooth, knockdown, or orange peel. Paint goes on last, so the repair disappears into the wall.
Outside the older homes
Stucco, Siding, and Wood Rot Repair in Sanford
Lake Monroe weather is hard on the outside of a house. Wood siding stays damp on the shady side, fascia boards soak up the gutter overflow, and stucco cracks under a window let the rain in behind it. On an older Sanford home, the soft spots are usually at the bottom of the siding, at the window sills, and along the roof edge.
The handyman cuts out the rotten wood back to sound material and fits new siding, trim, or fascia to match the profile on the house. Stucco cracks get patched and textured to blend. Everything is primed and painted before the job is called finished. In Sanford's historic districts, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city first. We will help you sort that out before any work begins.
While We Are There, What Else Can We Fix?

What Customers Wrote After the handyman Left
Sanford jobs are reviewed on our Orlando profile, alongside the rest of the county.
“David Becerra and his crew are highly skilled and very hard working people. They are diligent, trustworthy and very competitive in terms of pricing. I recommend them.”
“Our wrap-around deck was in total disrepair and a number of companies wouldn't even give us an estimate but the Handyman Company came out after our first call (which was answered immediately) gave us a very fair estimate and completed the job 2 days later. The work was first rate and the craftsman, Onasis, was very professional and courteous. We will definitely call again for our next project.”
“Great quality of workmanship, great price!”
“We've been looking for a handyman to take care of some things around the house, but we kept getting the runaround from those we contacted. I found the Handyman Company in the Orange County Five-Star-Rated directory and called them on a Thursday. They returned my call on Monday, had an incredible handyman out on Tuesday, and he just finished some repairs on our front doorframe today (Wednesday). I cannot say enough good things about everyone with this company! Definitely will call again should we need a helping hand!”
“I had a fantastic experience working with The Handyman Company in Orlando. They sent a Craftsman named Patrick J. to my home to repair the base of the guest bathroom toilet and a picnic table that needed reinforcement and painting. He showed up right on time, came fully prepared, and got straight to work. What I appreciated most was how professional, friendly, and detail-oriented he was. Patrick took special care to clean and remove the previous material that held the toilet in place. He then installed all new material. The project was immaculate. Patrick then went to my backyard and completed the picnic table repairs. The results were excellent—everything looks and works perfectly now. His pricing was fair; he cleaned up thoroughly after the job and even took the time to explain what he was doing so I’d know how to maintain it. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and skilled these days, and I’ll definitely be calling him and The Handyman Company again for future projects. Highly recommended!”
“Did a great job for me, used them multiple times, highly recommended”
“i have been in this house 33 years, they will get all of that and more / Miguel was the best handyman and company I have ever had in 33 years since I have been in this house. the professionalism and attention details in impeccable. I have told my friends, and they have already used him I will never use anyone else as long as i am living. Thank you for the exceptional work. I am forever grateful give him a raise he also gave great advise and answered all my questions”
“Much like others in the reviews we were having trouble finding someone available and willing to do the work we needed in our bathroom. So much so I wish I used them for the entire project. RJ Bosler was excellent. He was diligent, helpful, insightful and experienced. We have a kitchen project we are now budgeting for and they will be the first we call.”
Review of the week
“Miguel went above and beyond for us. We had a laundry list of repairs for him, a huge one being replacing all of the rotted wood on our carport. He was efficient and and did great work. Our neighbors asked for his info the next day because they saw the work he did! Highly recommend.”

Sanford, From the Lake Monroe Riverwalk to Lake Mary Boulevard
Sanford is its own city and the county seat of Seminole County, so permits come from the City of Sanford Building Division on North Park Avenue, not the county. About two thirds of our Sanford work is in 32771, the older side around downtown and Lake Monroe, and the rest is in 32773 to the south.
The handyman comes from our Orlando office and heads north on Interstate 4 into Sanford. The same team covers the whole Sanford area, including Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, and Casselberry, so a job just past the city line is no trouble at all.

Sanford Questions, Answered
Who is the best handyman in Sanford, FL?
The Handyman Company started in Tampa in 1999 and sends its own employee craftsmen to Sanford from its Orlando office at 4407 Parkbreeze Court. It holds Florida certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. Orlando customers rate the office 4.2 stars across 166 Google reviews. A full bathroom remodel is one of the jobs Sanford calls it for most, and drywall is about one job in eight. The estimate is free, the price is in writing before work starts, and every job carries a one year warranty.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in a Sanford home?
Most take one to two weeks, start to finish. An older house can hide a soft subfloor or old pipes behind the tile. We look for that at the estimate and put it in writing, so the price does not move once work starts.
Do I need a permit for exterior repairs in Sanford's historic district?
Often, yes. The City of Sanford asks for a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work, including repairs, on a home in its historic districts. A building permit may be needed on top of that. Outside those districts, most siding, fascia, and stucco repairs need no permit, and when one is needed, we pull it under our own licenses.
Is a licensed handyman in Sanford different from a general contractor?
Florida has no handyman license. A handyman without a contractor license can take small repairs under $2,500 that need no permit. Anything bigger, like a bathroom remodel, needs a licensed contractor. We hold state certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, so one team can patch a wall and remodel the bathroom. The Florida license rules show where the line sits.
Can you fix a stucco crack on a Sanford house?
Yes. Cracks below windows, chipped corners, and patches where an old fixture came off the wall are handyman work. The handyman checks for soft wood behind the crack, repairs it, then patches and textures the stucco and paints it to blend.
How soon can someone get to Sanford?
We can usually schedule within a week, and a small repair is often sooner. Send a request for a free quote, and a person calls you back within one business day to set the time. July and August are our busiest months in Sanford, so a summer list is worth sending early.
