After that, faucet and toilet swaps, repair lists, and drywall come up about equally. | Kind of work | Share of jobs | | --- | --- | | [Cabinets, trim, and carpentry](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/carpentry) | 23% | | [Doors](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/door-repair) | 15% | | [Faucet, toilet, and fixture swaps](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/handyman) | 12% | | [General handyman lists](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/handyman) | 12% | Also booked in Nokomis: [drywall repair](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/drywall-repair), [interior painting](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/painting), [ceiling fans and lights](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/lighting-installation), [flooring and tile](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/flooring-installation), [bathroom remodels](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/bathroom-remodeling), and [stucco and wood rot](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/wood-rot-repair). - **1 in 7:** Nokomis jobs is a door.

Send your list over the winter and you are ahead of the spring rush. - **3 in 4:** Nokomis homeowners who hire us come back for their next project. ## Door Repair Near the Bays in Nokomis Doors are the job Nokomis calls us about most after trim, and the damp air off Dona Bay and the Gulf is a big part of why. A wood door swells in August and sticks at the top corner. An exterior door lets daylight in at the sill. A bedroom door drifts open because the hinge screws lost their bite. The handyman starts at the hinges. Long screws go into the framing, a shim goes behind a hinge leaf if the gap is uneven, and the strike moves so the latch catches. An edge is planed only when nothing else will do, and then it gets sealed so it does not swell again. If the door itself is done, a new slab goes in the old frame, or a pre-hung unit goes in with casing matched to the rest of the house. Salt air is hard on wood at the bottom of an exterior door, so on a coastal street fiberglass is often the better choice. Sliding glass doors are the one door we do not repair, though the opening can become [French doors](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/french-door-conversion). - [Door repair](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/door-repair) - [French door conversion](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/french-door-conversion) ## Can the Same Visit Finish the Painting and Hang New Fans? It can, and it saves you a second trip and the trouble of calling multiple contractors. Painting and light fixtures are a smaller part of our Nokomis work, but they often arrive together on one request, the way a house gets finished room by room. Our handymen paint the walls, ceilings, and trim, from whole rooms to paint touch ups, and they move the furniture and cover the floors first. Fans and ceiling lights get swapped like for like on the boxes already in the ceiling, and each fan is balanced so it runs quiet. A spot that needs a new box or new wiring goes to a licensed electrician, and we tell you before the work starts. > **A recent Nokomis request:** A homeowner needed the second half of the interior painted, three ceiling fans put up, and a run of old ceiling lights replaced with new ones. That is a good fit for one written price. The painting goes first, then the fans and lights go up on the fresh ceilings, so nothing gets touched twice. - [Interior painting](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/painting) - [Ceiling fan installation](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/ceiling-fan-installation) ## Trim, Shelves, and Small Carpentry Around Nokomis Carpentry leads our Nokomis work. Most of it is finish carpentry that makes an older coastal house feel cared for: baseboard reset after new floors, a door casing that split, shelves hung where there was nothing to set a plant or a towel on. Our carpenters are our own employees, never subcontractors. They take pride in quality workmanship and the small detail: they cut and fit on site, then fill, caulk, and paint so the new piece looks like it was always there. Faucet and toilet swaps often ride along on the same visit, set level and sealed, with anything behind the wall left to a licensed plumber. - [Carpentry and trim](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/carpentry) - [Toilet installation](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/toilet-installation) ## While We Are There, What Else Can We Fix? Most Nokomis lists have a few of these on them too. They go on the same written price. - [Drywall repair](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/drywall-repair): A crack along a seam, a doorknob hole, or a water spot on the ceiling after the leak is stopped, patched and painted out. - [Stucco and wood rot](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/wood-rot-repair): Salt air finds the soft spots: a sill, a door jamb, a fascia board, or a stucco crack by the garage. We cut out the bad piece and rebuild it. - [Lanai screens](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/screen-repair): A torn lanai wall panel gets fresh screen, and a screen door that bangs gets a new closer. Pool-cage roofs are not part of our screen work. - [Tile and flooring](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/flooring-installation): A cracked floor tile replaced, or a room of tile or plank laid with the baseboard set to meet it. - [Faucets and toilets](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/toilet-installation): A dripping faucet or a toilet that rocks, replaced in place with the one you picked. - [Furniture assembly](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/handyman): A bookcase, a bed frame, or patio furniture still in the box, built and set where you want it.

(Debbie, Google) ## Nokomis, From the Laurel Road Exit to Casey Key Nokomis has no city hall. It is unincorporated Sarasota County, so the county issues any building permit. Nearly all of our Nokomis work is in ZIP code 34275, which runs from the neighborhoods off Laurel Road and Albee Road out to Nokomis Beach and Casey Key. It is an old town by Florida standards. Settlers arrived in 1868, and Dr. Fred Albee laid out the Nokomis subdivision in 1917. Homes here run from older cottages near Dona Bay to newer houses east of the Tamiami Trail, and our handymen work on both. The handyman comes down I-75 from our [Sarasota office](https://the-handyman-company.com/locations/sarasota) to the Laurel Road exit, or straight down the Tamiami Trail. The same team covers Osprey, Laurel, and Venice. Neighborhoods: Casey Key, Nokomis Beach, Dona Bay, Laurel Hollow, Albee Road, Laurel Road, Tamiami Trail, Legacy Trail. ## Nokomis Questions, Answered ### Who is the best handyman in Nokomis, FL? The Handyman Company started in Tampa in 1999 and sends its own employee craftsmen to Nokomis from its Sarasota office at 1800 Northgate Boulevard, Suite A-12. It holds Florida certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. Sarasota customers rate the office 4.2 stars across 95 Google reviews. About three in four Nokomis homeowners who hire us come back for their next project. The estimate is free, the price is in writing before work starts, and every job carries a one year warranty. ### Who does drywall repair in Nokomis, FL? We do, and we would be glad to look at yours. Most Nokomis drywall calls are a ceiling spot after an attic or air handler leak, a crack at a seam, or a hole a doorknob made. After a plumber or roofer has stopped the water, we replace the stained board, blend the texture, and paint the ceiling so the spot is gone. ### Why do doors stick in Nokomis homes? Mostly humidity. Wood doors and frames take on moisture in the summer, and older houses near the water have often settled a little out of square. Loose hinge screws do the rest. Most sticking doors are a short visit: the hinges get reset, the strike moves, and only then does an edge get planed. ### Does Sarasota County need a permit for my Nokomis repair? Most repairs need none: doors, trim, drywall, painting, fixtures swapped in place, and screens. A remodel or structural work does. Nokomis has no city government, so the permit comes from Sarasota County, and we file it under our own contractor licenses. ### Do you work on Casey Key homes? Yes. Casey Key sits partly in Nokomis, and the same team works the island and the mainland side, with the same written price and one year warranty. Salt air is hard on door hardware, screens, and trim out there, so those are worth a look while we are on the visit. ### Can a Nokomis handyman take on home improvement projects too? Yes. A door, a shelf, a faucet, and a few paint touch ups fit on one visit and one written quote. Bigger home improvement projects, like a bathroom remodeling job, take one to two weeks, and you approve the full price before anything is ordered. ### Does the Nokomis handyman also cover Osprey and Venice? Yes. The same team works Osprey, Laurel, and Venice, so a job for a neighbor up the Tamiami Trail is no trouble at all. Call (941) 548-1888 or send the list and a few photos through the form. ## The Sarasota Office 1800 Northgate Blvd, Ste A-12, Sarasota, FL 34234. Phone (941) 548-1888.
