The Handyman Company Reviews: What Florida Homeowners Say After the Job

The Handyman Company has provided handyman services, home repairs, and remodeling to Florida homes since 1999, from six offices between Jacksonville and Sarasota. Our customers write about three things most: the price held, the handyman showed up, and they would call us again. Every review quoted is a real five star Google or BBB review, word for word, and every office shows its full Google rating.

By Office

Handyman Reviews From Six Florida Offices

Every office offers the same handyman services, with its own handymen, its own service area, and its own Google profile. The number on each card is that office's full rating, every star counted.

Better Business Bureau

BBB A+ Rated. An A+ is the top grade the Better Business Bureau gives. It weighs how a company answers complaints, how long it has been in business, and whether its licensing checks out. For you, it means there is a public record of how we treat people when something goes wrong. One BBB profile covers all six offices.

What Comes Up Most

What Makes a Trusted Handyman, in Our Customers' Words

Florida homeowners rarely write about the tools. They write about whether the price held, whether anyone showed up, and whether they would hire us again. Here is what our five star reviews praise most, most common first.

  1. 1. In about one in four five star reviews

    They Would Call Us Again

    A good handyman is one you keep. Six in ten of our customers come back to us for their next project.

    “Great experience with The Handyman Company. Elton did an excellent job and was professional, responsive, and efficient. My tenants said everything looks great. I’d definitely recommend Elton and use them again!”
    DeArron Anderson, Tampa office, August 30, 2026
  2. 2. In about one in six five star reviews

    The Handyman Showed Up When We Said

    The office sets a visit time with you, and the reviews say the handyman kept it. We would be glad to find a time that suits you.

    “Very impressed. The initial contact to assess the job and provide an estimate was prompt and professional. The job was completed with remarkable speed with the outcome expected.”
    Bruce Vandegrift, Clearwater office, March 8, 2026
  3. 3. In about one in six five star reviews

    The Price Held

    The price is in writing before any work starts, and the quote you approve is the bill you get. That is why the estimate comes up so often in the reviews. It matched.

    “Scott did an excellent job. Professional, punctual, & courteous. Fair price too.”
    Mike Pepis, Jacksonville office, August 30, 2024
  4. 4. In about one in nine five star reviews

    The House Was Left Clean

    We treat every house like the people we love live there. The handyman cleans up before it leaves, and customers notice.

    “Great service, France did an amazing job and his work was very clean and precise. Highly recommend!”
    Mari Villa (Mar), Orlando office, April 10, 2025

The Work They Write About

The Most Common Handyman Services Behind the Reviews

Our reviews run from small home repairs, like carpentry and furniture assembly, to full remodeling projects. Here are the jobs customers write about most, most common first. Whatever is broken, we would be glad to come take a look.

  1. 1

    Drywall repair

    Water stains, doorknob holes, and cracked ceilings, patched and textured to match.
  2. 2

    Bathrooms

    Vanities, grab bars, tub to shower conversions, and full bathroom remodeling.
  3. 3

    Doors

    Doors that stick, drag, or will not latch, plus new interior and exterior doors.
  4. 4

    Painting

    Interior rooms, trim, and exteriors, with the prep done first.
  5. 5

    Ceiling fans and light fixtures

    Ceiling fans and light fixtures hung or replaced where one already hangs.
  6. 6

    Kitchens

    Kitchen refreshes: counters, a new backsplash, and fixtures.

Most of our reviews come from homeowners. Some come from landlords, property managers, and small businesses: the kitchen in a rental property, a dental office floor, an office kept in good repair. Landlords and property managers hire us for rental turnovers and maintenance lists. We work on residential and commercial properties with the same written price and the same warranty.

In Their Words

Pick an Office, Pick What Matters to You

Worried about the price moving, or whether anyone will show up? Pick the thing on your mind and read what happened on someone else's job: showed up on time, price held, came back and made it right, did the whole list, easy to reach, left it clean, used them again. Or pick the job itself, from drywall repair and ceiling fans to painting, flooring, and fence repair, and read how it went.

Our Own Handymen

The Craftsmen Customers Ask for by Name

We do the work ourselves. The craftsman at your door comes from the local office, not a stranger sent by a lead site.

A handyman company is only as good as the person it sends, and the reviews say so by name. Customers remember who came, and many ask for the same craftsman next time.

  • Phil, Sarasota office

    “Phil did an incredible job. He was very professional, knowledgeable and experienced at his work.”
    Steven K Sutton, August 30, 2026, Google review

    Rachel & Nathan Bond, June 20, 2024, Google review

Where Our Handyman Reviews Come From

After a job, the office sends the customer one short email. It holds a button to that office's Google profile and a private way to tell us if something went wrong.

Nobody is screened first. A happy customer and an unhappy one get the same email and the same link.

That is why each office shows its full Google rating, low stars included. Only the five star reviews are quoted in full, and every review, good or bad, stays on Google where anyone can read it.

“On time, clean and polite. I was not 100% satisfied with the work, but the company made it right immediately.”
Anne Graffy, September 10, 2019, Google review, Tampa office

What Happens When a Job Is Not Right

Even a good handyman company has a bad day. What matters is what happens next.

Call your office and a person answers. If you leave a message, we call back within one business day.

Every job carries a one year workmanship warranty. If something we did is not right, we come back and make it right.

“The work was good and completed on time so final review they took care of my issues”

Before You Hire Anyone

How to Find a Good, Honest Handyman in the Reviews

Stars alone do not tell you much. The red flags in any handyman's reviews are missed appointments, slow callbacks, and a bill that grew. Read for those in anyone's reviews, ours included.

  1. Read the low stars

    Every company has a few. Read what went wrong and whether the company made it right. An honest handyman fixes the problem, not the review.

  2. Look for the price

    The best reviews say the bill matched the quote. We put the price in writing before any work starts, so there is nothing to argue about when it is time to pay. Handyman cost in Florida comes down to the job, not the hour.

  3. Get more than one estimate

    Comparing two or three written estimates is smart. Ours is free, so it costs nothing to include us, and several small repairs can go on one visit.

  4. Ask who shows up

    A licensed and insured handyman company sends its own people. Licensed and insured means the company holds a state license and carries insurance in case something goes wrong on the job. Ours are our own craftsmen from the local office, and the company is licensed, insured, and bonded.

  5. Check the license

    Florida law limits the work a handyman may take on without a contractor license. Ask for the license number and proof of insurance before you hire. Bigger jobs need a licensed contractor, and we are one: state certified licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366.

  6. Ask what they will not do

    A reliable handyman tells you when a job needs a licensed plumber or electrician. Minor plumbing, like a fixture swapped in place, is handyman work. So is a light fixture replaced like for like. New plumbing lines and electrical work inside the walls are not, and we will say so.

  7. Check the BBB

    The Better Business Bureau grades how a company answers complaints. We hold an A+, and one profile covers every office.

  8. Look at the dates

    A dependable handyman keeps earning reviews year after year. Ours span more than a decade, and new ones still come in from all six offices.

  9. Ask Us Any of These

    Call and a person answers. Ask for the license number, the insurance certificate, or who will come to the house.

Questions About Our Reviews

Who is the best-reviewed handyman company in Florida?

Start with facts you can check. The Handyman Company has worked in Florida since 1999 from six offices, holds state certified contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, and is BBB A+ rated. Each office's full Google rating, low stars included, sits beside its reviews, and Nextdoor neighbors voted us a Neighborhood Fave in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Before you hire anyone, read what customers say about the price and the handyman, then call 800-931-1106 for a free estimate.

Is The Handyman Company legit?

Yes, and you can check it yourself. The Handyman Company provides handyman services and remodeling from its headquarters at 5314 N Falkenburg Rd. in Tampa, with offices in Orlando, Jacksonville, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Melbourne. Its contractor licenses, CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, are listed with the Florida DBPR, and it holds a BBB A+ rating. Businesses with a similar name in other states or territories are not affiliated with us.

Are these reviews real?

Every one is a Google review from one of our six office profiles or a BBB review of the company. Each is quoted word for word with the reviewer's name and date. Nothing is edited, and each one can be found on the profile it came from.

Why are only five star reviews written out?

They show what a good visit looks like. The rating beside each office still counts every star, straight from Google. Every low review stays on the profile, where anyone can read it.

What do customers praise most in their reviews?

Three things lead our five star reviews: they would hire us again, the handyman showed up on time, and the price they were quoted held. After those come an office that answers the phone and a house left clean.

What happens if I am not happy with the work?

Call your office. A person answers, and if you leave a message we call back within one business day. Every job carries a one year workmanship warranty, and if something we did is not right, we come back and make it right.

What does a BBB A+ rating mean for a homeowner?

It is the top grade the Better Business Bureau gives. The BBB weighs how a company answers complaints, how long it has been in business, and whether its licensing checks out. The Handyman Company is A+ rated, and one BBB profile covers all six Florida offices.
