Trim, Doors, and Porch Carpentry for Older St. Pete Homes
St. Petersburg has some of the oldest houses we work on. Historic Kenwood alone is blocks of bungalows built in the 1920s. Wood that old moves with every rainy season, so doors bind, window casings open up, and porch trim goes soft at the bottom.
Our carpenters match what is there instead of tearing it out. They match new casing to the old profile, rehang a door that has dropped on its hinges, and replace a rotted porch post base with new wood. It is careful work, and it is no trouble at all for a handyman who does it every week.
- Door casing and baseboard matched to the old profile
- Interior doors rehung or planed to close again
- Porch ceilings and trim boards replaced where the wood went soft
- Built-in shelves and closet cleats rebuilt to fit
Bathroom remodels
Bathroom Remodels in St. Petersburg, FL
Many St. Pete houses still have the original tile, a tub nobody uses, and a vanity too small for the room. Our handymen take out the old and put in a new vanity, toilet, tile floor, and shower. We can also turn the tub into a walk-in shower.
Most bathroom remodels take one to two weeks. You get the price in writing before the first tile comes up. St. Petersburg issues its own building permits, and our contractor licenses let us pull them ourselves, so you never chase paperwork.
One St. Pete job in ten
Drywall Repair and Drywall Installation in St. Pete
About one St. Pete job in ten is drywall. In a newer house that means a patch, a seam crack, or a ceiling stain once the leak above it has been fixed. In a 1920s house it often means old plaster walls, where a crack runs from the corner of a door and a patch has to meet a hard, smooth wall.
Standard wall drywall is a half inch sheet of gypsum between paper faces, so a clean repair starts with a matching piece. Our team cuts back to sound material, sets new board, and tapes and coats the joints until the patch sits flush. On plaster walls they skim the repair so it matches the old finish, and on newer walls they match the knockdown or orange peel. Then the walls get painted, so the repair disappears. When a whole wall or ceiling has to come down, the same team handles the drywall installation too.
Gutters, fascia, and screens
Water Running Behind the Gutters in St. Pete?
That is fixable, and it is home maintenance worth doing before the next wet summer. When water gets behind a gutter, it soaks the fascia board the gutter hangs on. Left alone, the board rots and the gutter pulls loose.
Your handyman takes the gutter down where it leaks, checks the board behind it, and replaces any fascia that has gone soft. Then they rehang the gutter with the right pitch and seal the seams. The same visit can take care of wood rot at a window sill or a stucco crack by the garage, and a torn porch screen or a new insect screen can ride along too.
A recent St. Pete request
The gutters leak behind themselves in a few places whenever it rains, and the homeowner also wanted an insect screen put in. The fix starts behind the gutter: find where water gets past it, replace any soft fascia, then rehang and seal. The screen goes in on the same trip.
While We Are There, What Else Can We Fix?

Serving St. Pete and South Pinellas County, From Kenwood to Riviera Bay
St. Petersburg is its own city, so building permits come from the city, not Pinellas County. After a storm, the city asks for a permit even for drywall, doors, and cabinets. We pull permits under our own licenses. Most of our St. Pete work lands in 33710, 33702, 33713, 33704, and 33712, from Azalea and Jungle Terrace in the west to Meadowlawn and Riviera Bay in the north.
The handyman comes from our Clearwater office and heads south on US 19, which turns into 34th Street through St. Pete. The same team covers Pinellas Park, Seminole, and South Pasadena, so a list that crosses the city line is no trouble at all.

St. Petersburg Questions, Answered
Who is the best handyman in St. Petersburg, FL?
The Handyman Company started in Tampa in 1999 and sends its own employee craftsmen to St. Petersburg from its office at 1120 Kapp Drive in Clearwater. It holds Florida certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. Clearwater customers rate the office 4.1 stars across 127 Google reviews. Two in three St. Pete homeowners who hire us come back to us for their next project. The estimate is free, the price is in writing before work starts, and every job carries a one year warranty.
Can a handyman in St. Pete fix trim and doors on an older bungalow?
Yes, and it is the work we do most in St. Petersburg. Our carpenters match the old casing and baseboard profiles, rehang doors that have dropped, and replace rotted porch trim with new wood. You keep the character of the house, and the price is in writing first.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in St. Petersburg?
Most take one to two weeks, start to finish. A tub-to-shower conversion fits in the same window. When the job needs a City of St. Petersburg permit, we pull it under our own licenses.
Do I need a permit for repairs in St. Petersburg after a storm?
Often, yes. The City of St. Petersburg asks for a permit for storm repairs, including drywall, floors, doors, and cabinets. We hold state contractor licenses, so we can pull that permit and do the repair. Call us before you start, and we will tell you what the job needs.
Is there a St. Pete handyman who takes a whole list in one visit?
That is how most St. Pete visits go. A door that sticks, a new ceiling fan, a torn porch screen, a TV wall mount, and a loose baseboard can all go on one estimate. These minor repairs are the everyday handyman work our handymen carry all the necessary tools for, and one visit for the whole to-do list costs less than several trips. Rental property owners hand us lists between tenants too. Send the list with a few pictures, and a person calls you back within one business day.
Is there a handyman company in St. Pete that updates kitchens?
Yes, as long as it is an update and not a full rebuild. Our handymen replace an old kitchen drop ceiling, hang new light fixtures, set a new backsplash, swap the sink and faucet in place, install new appliances, and reset cabinet doors that sag. We do not paint cabinets. For a bigger kitchen remodel, the price and the scope are in writing before work starts.
Do you take home improvement projects in Saint Petersburg, or only minor home repairs?
Both, and you do not have to sort out which is which. Minor repairs fill most St. Pete visits, but the same local St. Pete team handles bathroom remodels, new floors, and kitchen updates, on residential and commercial properties alike. We offer free estimates, and the labor and materials are priced in writing, our guarantee that the quote is the bill. Florida lets a handyman take small, non-structural jobs. Structural work and major plumbing or electrical work need a licensed contractor, and our state contractor licenses cover the permitted work a handyman cannot legally take, and every job carries the same one year warranty.
How soon can someone come out to St. Petersburg?
We can usually schedule within a week, and a small repair is often sooner. Scheduling starts with a person, not a phone tree. May through July is our busiest stretch in St. Pete, so a spring request gets the first open dates.
