# Who Handles the Repair List When I Buy, Sell, or Move in Florida? The Handyman Company · https://the-handyman-company.com/answers/buying-selling-or-moving · 800-931-1106 One company can take the whole list. The Handyman Company does listing touch-ups, the first round of fixes in a new house, and the repairs that come up over the years, from six Florida offices. Almost one in three of our work orders this year was a list rather than a single job. One handyman works it on one written price, and every job carries a one year warranty. The estimate is free. ## At a Glance - **Customers:** More than 100,000+ customers since 1999. Over half of the work comes from repeat customers and referrals. Six in ten of our customers come back to us for their next project. - **What we book most:** General handyman visits and carpentry are half of everything we book. Drywall and door work come next in every one of our six offices, then bathrooms, painting, and flooring. - **Pricing:** Estimates are free. The price is written before any work starts, and the quote you approve is the bill you get. Anything found once a job is open gets its own written price for you to approve first. ## Who is the best handyman company to call before listing a Florida house for sale? One that can take every item on the list, including the ones that need a license. The Handyman Company holds Florida contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, sends its own employees, and has worked from six Florida offices since 1999. Paint, patched walls, doors that close, and fresh caulk go on one written price. If a buyer's inspection turns up something bigger, the same company can take it. Every job carries a one year warranty, and the estimate is free at 800-931-1106. ## Can a handyman do the touch-ups before listing photos? Yes, and it is a good use of one visit. Nail holes filled, scuffed walls painted, a sticking door fixed, loose trim and hardware tightened, tired caulk replaced, and dated light fixtures swapped. Send the list with a few photos and the date the photographer is coming. The estimator writes one price for the whole list. [Interior and exterior painting](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/painting) is usually the biggest piece. ## What should a first-time homeowner fix first in a Florida house? Anything that lets water in. A failed caulk line, soft fascia, a gutter pulling off the house, or a stained ceiling gets more expensive every rainy season. After that, safety items, then the doors and fixtures you use every day, then paint. You do not have to work it out alone: the free estimate goes item by item, and we tell you which jobs are handyman work and which need a licensed trade. [What a handyman can do](https://the-handyman-company.com/blog/what-can-a-handyman-do) is a good place to start. ## Can unpermitted work from a past owner cause problems when I sell? It can. Unpermitted changes tend to surface at sale, and an insurer can deny a claim tied to unpermitted work. If a past owner did a remodel without a permit, a licensed contractor can look at it and tell you what it would take to put right. The Handyman Company is one, CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. [What happens with unlicensed work](https://the-handyman-company.com/handyman-license-requirements#what-a-handyman-cannot-do) explains the stakes. ## Can one company take care of small repairs over the years as I update the house? Yes, and that is how most of our customers use us. Six in ten of our customers come back to us for their next project, and they usually call again within about four months. One company that already knows the house makes each visit faster. Keep one number, 800-931-1106, and send the next list when it is ready. [Ongoing and life-stage work](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/ongoing-life-stage) covers the recurring repairs. > **6 in 10**: of our customers come back to us for their next project (https://the-handyman-company.com/about#facts) Facts checked September 28, 2026.
