When a turn grows into a kitchen or bath update, the same company handles that too. ### Punch Lists and Small Repairs Send the list, and it gets knocked out in as few trips as possible, with one invoice at the end instead of a stack of them. ### Drywall and Paint Between Tenants Nail holes, door dings, scuffed walls, and full repaints, matched to your unit standard so the unit reads clean at the showing. ### Doors, Locks, and Hardware Interior doors, locksets, stops, and hinges, plus the fixture swaps every turnover seems to need. ### Preventive Maintenance on a Schedule Standing maintenance across your rental property portfolio, scheduled with your office. Urgent items get flagged so your office can act, apart from the routine schedule. ### COIs and Documentation Certificates of insurance, license documentation, and written scopes and invoices your owners can actually read. **We Provide Maintenance Services, Not Property Management** The Handyman Company does not manage property. Everything to do with leases and residents stays with your office. We take direction from you, and we contact tenants only when you ask us to. ## Turn the Unit Without Chasing Three Vendors Landlords with one rental and managers with many both know what a move-out leaves behind. The hard part is getting it all done before the next showing, at a price you can defend to the owner. Our handymen take the whole make-ready, from the first patch to the last swapped fixture, so you are not coordinating three vendors for one unit. When a turn grows into bigger improvements, the same company handles it. A tired kitchen or bathroom can be updated under our Florida contractor licenses, CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. Plumbing or electrical work beyond fixtures goes to the proper licensed trade, and we tell you so up front. - Patch, prime, and paint between tenants - Tubs, showers, and counters re-caulked - Doors and windows checked for proper operation - Fixtures, blinds, and hardware swapped - Plank flooring where carpet has given out - [Full repaints between tenants](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/painting) ## One List, One Visit, One Invoice Send the punch list in whatever form you have it, and one craftsman works through it in as few trips as possible. Every small item goes on the same list and the same invoice, from a loose handrail to a door that will not latch. For a portfolio, we can set up preventive maintenance on a regular basis, on a schedule your office controls. Small maintenance requests get handled before they turn into big repair bills, and urgent items get flagged to your office right away. There are no long-term contracts. You hire us per job or per scheduled visit. - Punch lists from a written list, photos, or a phone video - Doors, locks, and hardware swapped between tenants - Screens repaired and pressure washing - Recurring visits scheduled with your office - No long-term contracts > **A recent request:** A rental house owner needed a large TV hung on the bracket where a smaller one had been. Small jobs like that are welcome, and they can ride along with anything else on the unit's list. - [Doors that stick or will not latch](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/door-repair) ## A Unit Ready to Show, and Paperwork That Holds Up Every job starts with a free estimate and a written quote that lists the address and the tasks in plain words. The quote you approve is the bill you get. If a surprise turns up behind a wall, we call you and get the change approved in writing before any extra work happens. Certificates of insurance and license documentation are ready before anyone sets foot in a unit, and we can send them straight to your office or your owner. Every repair carries our one year warranty, which matters when an owner reviews the file months later. Property management and real estate firms are among our business customers, so we know what an owner's file needs. - Written quote per work order - Invoices by property address - Changes approved in writing first - COIs and license documents on request - One year warranty on every repair > **A recent request:** An owner asked for a price to board up a door opening at the back of a vacant downtown building, with photos available. Vacant-building work gets the same written quote as a turnover. - [Plank flooring for rentals](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/flooring-installation) ## Send a Make-Ready With This, and It Moves Fast Turnovers stall in the back-and-forth. Send these with the work order, and we can get started right away. - Access that works: the lockbox code or key plan, gate codes, and any parking or association rules. - The list in whatever form you have it. A written punch list, photos, or a walk-through video from your phone all work. - Your unit standard: the paint color and sheen, the hardware finish you stock, and what you always replace. - The date the unit needs to show, so we schedule backward from your listing date. - Your paperwork needs: COI limits, owner documentation, and the invoice format you want. - Whether the unit is vacant or occupied, and how you want tenants contacted, if at all. No list at all? That is fine. We will walk the unit and write the scope ourselves. ## How Turnover Pricing Stays Defendable Your number has to survive an owner's questions. These are the things that move it. - **The unit as it really is** We price from a real walk-through or your video, not a phone description. Move-outs surprise everyone, and a real scope up front beats a change order later. - **Touch-up or full repaint** If the walls are one tenant old and the color matches your standard, touch-up works. If the paint is tired or the color has drifted, a full repaint shows better. We recommend one in writing, and you decide. - **Batching units** Several units in the same metro, scheduled together, share trips and setup. A slow season is the cheapest time to knock out the deferred list. - **A standard spec across the portfolio** Managers who standardize paint, hardware, and fixtures get faster estimates and fewer decisions per turn. We keep your spec on file, so the tenth unit prices as predictably as the first. ## Florida rental property cycles hard A Florida rental takes a beating a northern unit never sees. Sun fades the paint, summer humidity swells the doors until they drag, tenants track in sand all year, and screens tear. Storm season works on the trim, the screens, and the exterior doors every year. By move-out, it all lands on your list at once, and the vacancy clock is already running. Geography is the other Florida problem. Portfolios here spread across metros, and a vendor who is great in Tampa is no help with the unit in Melbourne. Employee handymen working out of six local offices mean the same standard, the same paperwork, and the same phone number across the whole portfolio. ## What Customers Say > "Outstanding work and customer support! Allan did a fantastic job making repairs at my rental property to include, screen repairs, plumber fixture replacements, caulking, power washing and painting. I highly recommend this professional company... the entire process was timely, and respectful." (V Lawrence, Jacksonville office, Google review) > "I have property in Orlando. Unable to perform work on my own, I used The Handyman Company and they did a great job. Work was done in a timely manner, with a fair price. They were very accommodating to the exsisting tenants, and would I use them again." (Antonio, Orlando office, Google review) > "Ron was excellent. He arrived, identified the issue and repaired it immediately. He was even kind enough to walk alongside my property with me to see if there were any other issues that he could spot. Overall the service was fantastic!" (Luis R, Orlando office, Google review) ## Often Booked Together - [Flooring Installation: LVP, Laminate & Tile](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/flooring-installation): Plank flooring between tenants beats carpet in Florida rentals, and it is one of our most common turnover jobs. - [Interior & Exterior Painting](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/painting): Full repaints between tenants, matched to your unit standard and finished before the first showing. - [Drywall Repair](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/drywall-repair): Tenant wall damage patched and texture-matched, so the unit shows clean instead of showing its history. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who is the best handyman company for property managers in Florida?

It holds Florida contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, has COIs ready before work starts, writes a price per work order, and backs every repair with a one year warranty. Call 800-931-1106 to set up your first work order. ### Do you offer leasing, rent collection, or other property management services? No, and we never will. Everything to do with leases, rent, and residents stays with your office. We are the maintenance vendor. You are the manager and the tenant contact, and we take direction from you. ### Can you provide COIs and license documentation before work starts? Yes, and we would rather you ask than assume. Certificates showing we are insured, plus our Florida contractor license documentation, are available before anyone sets foot in a unit, and we can send them straight to your office or your owner. ### Do you require a contract or a minimum amount of work? No long-term contracts, ever. Send us a single punch list or one make-ready and judge the work on its own merits. Managers who stay with us stay because they found a reliable handyman team and the units keep getting done right. ### Can you cover properties in more than one city? Yes. Our employee handymen work out of six local offices: Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Melbourne. A portfolio spread across those metros still gets one vendor, one standard, and one phone number. ### How does pricing work for turnover jobs? Every job gets a written scope and an itemized price before work starts, so you have a number you can put in front of the owner. The estimate costs nothing, and the invoice matches the quote you approved. ### Can you work in units with tenants living there? Yes. Our handymen work in occupied rentals all the time, at the direction of the manager or owner. You set the schedule and the access plan, and our craftsmen follow your house rules and treat the tenants with respect. ## Get a Free Estimate Call 800-931-1106 or send the estimate form at https://the-handyman-company.com/#free-estimate.
