# A Licensed and Insured Handyman Company, Caring for Florida Homes Since 1999

The Handyman Company · https://the-handyman-company.com/about · 800-931-1106

Every homeowner deserves someone to turn to. Not a directory and not a referral line, but a real local handyman team that shows up, quotes the job in writing, and does the work with its own hands.

The Handyman Company has fixed Florida homes and businesses since it opened in Tampa in 1999:

- Handyman services, remodels, and property maintenance, all in Florida
- State certified contractor, CRC1336072 and CBC1258366
- Handymen who work directly for us, under our licenses and insurance
- More than 100,000 customers served

Six offices, all of them locally owned. Over half of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals, and when you call, a person answers.

The Handyman Company is a Florida handyman, home repair, and remodeling company, state certified as a residential and building contractor (CRC1336072, CBC1258366), whose handymen all work directly for the company under its licenses and insurance, with a written price before work starts and a one year warranty on every job, serving homeowners, businesses, and property managers from six Florida offices since 1999.

## Who will actually show up at my house?

One of our own handymen, who works directly for us under our licenses and insurance. We are not a referral network, and we never hand your job to a stranger for the day. The person who looks at the job answers to us, and the handyman who does it stands behind it with a one year warranty.

People like Jack Ramsey, one of our field managers, are why that matters. Jack scopes jobs with homeowners, business owners, and property managers, then sees them through with the handyman. When a question comes up on day two, there is a name to call and a person who picks up.

> **A recent request:** A family wanted a large picture hung securely in the family room, and they wanted it done on the visit, not just priced. That is no trouble at all. A photo and the size of the frame are enough to price it ahead of time.

## What happens between my call and a finished job?

A short, predictable path. You call or send the form, and a person from your local office sets up the free estimate. Someone looks at the job, listens to what you want, and writes the price down before any work starts.

On the day of the work, the handyman protects your floors, works through the list, cleans up, and walks it with you. If something we did is not right later, we come back and make it right.

The same four steps for a ceiling fan, a drywall repair, or a whole bathroom:

- A free estimate from your local office
- The price in writing before work starts
- Our own team does the work and cleans up
- A one year warranty on the workmanship

## Florida Handyman License Requirements, Explained

Florida draws a legal line through handyman work. Without a state license, a handyman can only take on minor repairs. Remodeling, structural work, and anything the state defines as contracting requires a licensed contractor registered with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Hiring unlicensed help for that work can leave the homeowner holding the liability.

Florida does not actually issue a handyman license. There is no such category in state law. What the state licenses is contracting, through the Construction Industry Licensing Board, and a handyman company that holds contractor licenses outright sidesteps the whole problem.

That is why our licenses matter. The Handyman Company holds Florida certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, so there is no legal ceiling on the work we can quote, from a drywall patch to a full remodel. We carry the insurance and bonding to match, and we will show you the paperwork before you ask.

Before you hire anyone, three checks take about as long as a cup of coffee:

- Look the license number up at myfloridalicense.com
- Ask for a certificate of insurance and read the dates
- Walk away from cash-only offers

Anyone who asks you to pull the permit yourself is telling you something. Our numbers are on every estimate we write.
