Sarasota Is Home to One of Our Six Offices The Handyman Company sends its own licensed craftsmen to homes and businesses from an office at 1800 Northgate Boulevard, just off US 301 south of University Parkway. The company has repaired Florida homes since 1999. It holds state certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, and it offers handyman and remodeling services to residential and commercial customers in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Every project starts the same way. A person answers the phone, and we offer a free estimate. You get the price in writing in advance, and the quote you approve is the bill you get. No matter the size of the repair, it carries a one year warranty, and if something we did is not right, we come back and make it right. We are a locally owned Florida company, not a lead site that sells your name to a stranger. The craftsman at your door is our own employee, never a subcontractor, with the skills and the tools to complete the job. Our team lives in the neighborhoods it serves, so you get friendly neighbors you can trust, not a call center. ## What Do Sarasota Homeowners Hire a Handyman For? A mixed list, more than anything else. Three jobs in ten here are a list of small repairs, and no job comes up more. A loose towel bar, a mirror to hang, a closet shelf to secure, a fan to swap, cabinet hardware to replace. Send every item on the list, and one visit can complete most of the items. Carpentry and trim come next, at more than a quarter of what this office books. Then drywall repair, about one job in ten, and door repair and door replacement. Interior painting, flooring installation, and tile installation fill out the rest of the calendar. Our handyman services cover all of it with one handyman. Some things belong to other trades, and we say so up front. Our electrical work is a like-for-like swap on an existing box, such as a ceiling fan installation or a new light fixture. Minor plumbing means a faucet or toilet swapped in place. Anything behind the wall goes to a licensed electrician or plumber, which keeps the house safe and the permit clean. ## Can the Work Get Done While I Am Up North? Yes, and it is ordinary for this office. About half of what we book here lands between January and April, and March is the busiest month. Plenty of those calls come from owners who spend the summer somewhere else. Send the list before you head north, or while you are away. The handyman does the repairs, and we walk them with you by phone before anyone calls them finished. You come home to a ready house, not a project, and that is real peace of mind. Florida humidity is hard on caulk, paint, and wood trim. A visit while the house sits empty catches small damage early, and fresh caulk around the windows, door sweeps, and weatherstripping keep the summer rain out. Vacation rental hosts and property managers call us between guests and between tenants. Drywall touch-ups, paint, door hardware, furniture assembly, a TV on the wall. Condo owners downtown get the same services and the same team, working within the building rules, and small businesses use us to maintain their space between seasons. About two in three homeowners here who hire us come back to us for their next project. ## Sarasota and Manatee Neighborhoods Our Handymen Know Our handymen work on both sides of the county line. The job ZIP codes we see most are 34243 around Whitfield and the airport, 34202 in Lakewood Ranch, and 34219 in Parrish. Then come 34231 around Gulf Gate, 34238 in Palmer Ranch, and 34203 on the south side of Bradenton. Permits follow the address. Inside city limits, the City of Sarasota issues them. Gulf Gate, Palmer Ranch, and the rest of unincorporated Sarasota County go through the county. Parrish, Whitfield, and the Manatee side of Lakewood Ranch go through Manatee County. We check your address and pull any permit under our own licenses. The same handymen handle [Bradenton handyman services](https://the-handyman-company.com/locations/bradenton) and [Venice handyman services](https://the-handyman-company.com/locations/venice). They also cover Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Osprey, Nokomis, and North Port, with the same written price and the same warranty. ## What Is a Visit From Our Handyman Team Like? Easy, and nobody rushes you. Call (941) 548-1888 from Sarasota, Bradenton, or anywhere in between, or send the quote form with a few photos. A person answers, and if you leave a message, we call back within one business day. We can usually schedule within a week. You get a confirmed appointment and a heads-up when the handyman is on the way, so your time is not wasted. For a small repair, your photos are often enough to price it in writing before the visit. For a bathroom or a room of flooring, someone comes out and measures first, and we talk through the options. The professional at your door arrives with the tools and common parts on the truck, keeps the work area clean, and walks the finished project with you. Every question gets a straight answer, and we provide a written scope before the project starts. Whoever you hire, ask whether they are insured and who pulls the permit. Florida lets a handyman take small repairs under $2,500 without a license. Work that needs a permit needs a licensed contractor, and we are one. So the company that fixed your door can also handle your [bathroom remodel](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/bathroom-remodeling), with the experience of a handyman who does both. The [Florida license rules](https://the-handyman-company.com/handyman-license-requirements) show where that line sits. ## Interior Painting Services for Sarasota Homes Most of the painting we do here is inside. A living room, a hallway, the walls around a drywall patch, or a bedroom that needs a fresh color. Our painters are the same craftsmen who fix the wall first, so the patch disappears under the new coat. They move and cover the furniture, cut a clean line at the ceiling for a professional finish, and put the room back the way they found it. The same painters work in Bradenton and Venice, and the months a seasonal home sits empty are a good time for the project. ## Drywall Repair Services After Water Damage Drywall is about one job in ten for this office. Most calls are a ceiling stain after an attic or air handler leak, a crack along a seam, dents and dings from moving day, or a hole a doorknob made. Some people call it sheetrock, and either word gets you the same team. Once a plumber or roofer has fixed the leak itself, we cut out the soft board and set new. Then we tape it, match the knockdown or orange peel texture, and paint the patch into the wall around it. Matching texture takes time, and we take that time, so your eye never finds the patch. ## Door Repair and Door Replacement Services Doors are among the four most booked jobs in all six of our offices, and we work on most types, inside and out. Here it is often one that drags on raised tile, a latch that will not catch, or a front entry that lets the summer rain in. We reset hinges, move strikes, plane a swollen edge, and replace worn weatherstripping. When one is past saving, we hang a new slab in the old frame or set a new prehung unit, and match the trim. A new front entry changes how the house looks from the street and locks up tighter. If the opening calls for an impact rated product, we tell you at the estimate. We do not repair sliding glass doors, but we can convert the opening to a pair of French doors. When a remodel calls for new windows and doors, our licensed handymen install those too, and every installation project gets the same written price. ## Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sarasota FL Most bathroom remodels take one to two weeks. Our handymen replace the vanity, the toilet, the floor and wall tile, and the tub or shower. We also turn old tubs into walk-in showers with a low step-in, and set grab bars into solid blocking so they are safe to lean on. We walk you through the tile and vanity options, and the price is in writing before the first tile comes up. We pull any permit under our own licenses. Tile installation on its own is common too: a new tile floor laid room by room, a shower regrouted, or one cracked tile replaced by the door. ## Stucco, Wood Rot, and Exterior Repair Services Salt air, sun, and summer rain wear on the outside of a Florida house. Stucco cracks around the windows, fascia boards go soft, and door trim rots at the bottom. Most of these homes are block and stucco, so stucco repair comes up far more than siding. We cut out the rotten wood and set new, patch and texture the stucco to match, then prime and paint. Our craftsmen take pride in a stucco patch you cannot find from the driveway. Hurricane shutters go up before the season, and pressure washing clears the mildew off walks, driveways, and walls. ## What We Do in Sarasota - [Handyman Services](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/handyman): Bring the whole list.
