“We recently had some upgrades completed in our kitchen and living room by Ramon and his wife. They did an excellent job and I highly recommend Ramon for any remodeling project that you might want. He showed up on time, worked diligently, and was courteous.”
“I had the Handyman Company of St. Pete replace my kitchen drop ceiling. Joey did an amazing job. The work looks great and their estimate was spot on. I would definitely use them again.”
“Great service! Repaired a kitchen drawer and installed a GFI outlet. Friendly and professional. I will use again in the future. Thank you!”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”
“Hi Brian, stop by and he was very helpful in solving my door problem thanks for your service”
“On time, price as quoted and went the extra mile. Easy and efficient. Would use the service again.”
“I needed several openings around outdoor lights sealed. They did an excellent job and it was reasonably priced. Very happy with their work!”
“Great service and the repair was done to my satisfaction.”
“Very prompt, helpful and thorough. It’s not cheap, but you get quality work”
“David Becerra and his crew are highly skilled and very hard working people. They are diligent, trustworthy and very competitive in terms of pricing. I recommend them.”
What We Handle
Backsplash Installation
Tile set straight, cut clean around outlets and windows, grouted, and sealed. The single biggest visual change in most refreshes.
Countertop Replacement Coordination
The stone shops fabricate the counters. We coordinate that piece, handle the tear-out, and take care of everything around the install.
Sinks & Faucets
New sinks and faucets set, sealed, and connected, with the shutoffs checked while we are already under there.
Cabinet Hardware Swaps
New pulls and knobs, drilled to a jig so every handle lines up straight down the run of cabinets.
Under-Cabinet & Fixture Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting and updated fixtures change how the kitchen feels at night more than any other single item on the list.
Tear-Out & Finish Work
Old backsplash out, the wall behind it repaired, caulk lines clean, trim finished. The unglamorous work that makes the new surfaces look right.
A New Kitchen Without the Gutting
Most kitchens do not need to be gutted. The layout works, the cabinets are sound, and what actually dates the room is the surface layer: the backsplash, the counters, the faucet, the hardware, the lighting. Replace those and the kitchen reads new, at a fraction of the disruption a full remodel brings.
Our crews handle the tear-out, the tile, the sink and faucet, the hardware, the lighting, and the finish work. Countertop fabrication itself stays with the stone shops, and we coordinate that piece so you are not stuck being the go-between. One point of contact, one written scope, and the price guaranteed in writing before anything comes off the wall. We have done this work across Florida since 1999, and it carries our one year warranty.

A Refresh Is the Right Call When
- The layout already works. The sink, stove, and fridge are where you want them, and no walls need to move.
- The cabinet boxes are sound. Doors close square, drawers track straight, and the frames are solid wood or intact board.
- What bugs you is the surface layer: the backsplash you inherited, the counters, the faucet, the dim lighting.
- You need the kitchen working through the project. A refresh moves in stages; a gut remodel does not.
- You would rather put the budget into finishes you touch every day than into moving plumbing.
If the boxes are failing or the layout fights you daily, a refresh will disappoint you, and we will say exactly that at the estimate rather than take the job anyway.
Built for Florida
In a Florida open plan, the kitchen is always on stage
Florida builders love the open floor plan, and it puts the kitchen in plain view of the front door, the living room, and every guest you ever host. A dated backsplash in an open-plan house is not hiding in a back room; it is the first thing the house shows anyone who walks in. That is why a refresh punches so far above its size here.
The other Florida factor is livability during the work. When summer heat keeps everyone indoors with the AC running, a long stretch without a kitchen is the real cost of a full remodel. A refresh moves in stages, so the sink and the stove stay in service for most of the job and the household keeps functioning.
The Order a Refresh Runs In
Counters before backsplash, tear-out before anything. The sequence is what keeps the kitchen usable while we work.
- 1
Scope and selections
We walk the kitchen, settle which pieces are in the project, and coordinate the countertop piece with the stone shop so the whole schedule is real before anything starts.
- 2
Tear-out and wall repair
The old backsplash comes off and the wall behind it gets repaired flat. Tiling over damage or over old tile is the shortcut that shows at every outlet, so we do not take it.
- 3
Counters go in
The stone shop templates and sets the counters. Counters come before backsplash so the tile meets the finished surface in a tight, caulked joint instead of a gap.
- 4
Backsplash, set and sealed
Tile cut clean around outlets and windows, grouted, and sealed. This is the day the kitchen changes in the mirror-selfie sense.
- 5
Sink, faucet, hardware, lighting
The working parts land last: sink sealed and plumbed, pulls drilled to a jig so the whole run lines up, under-cabinet lighting wired in.
- 6
Caulk, clean, walkthrough
Every joint caulked, the room cleaned, and you walking the kitchen with the crew before we call it finished.

Kitchen Refresh: Backsplash, Counters & Hardware: Common Questions
Can you really make a kitchen feel new without a full remodel?
If the layout works and the cabinet boxes are sound, yes. The surfaces are what date a kitchen, and the backsplash, counters, hardware, and lighting are the surfaces. If your kitchen genuinely needs more than that, we will say so at the estimate instead of selling you a refresh that disappoints.
Do you fabricate the countertops yourselves?
No, and nobody honest in our trade does. Countertop fabrication belongs to the stone shops with the equipment for it. What we do is coordinate that piece, handle the tear-out, and do all the work around it, so the project still runs through one company.
How much does a kitchen refresh cost?
That depends on which surfaces you are replacing and what tile and counters you fall for. We price the whole refresh as one written number before the first tile comes off the wall, and the invoice matches it. No meter running.
Can we use the kitchen while the work is happening?
For most of it, yes. A refresh moves in stages, and we tell you before each stage what will be out of service, like the sink during the counter and faucet swap. The room keeps working through most of the project.
Do you tile over the old backsplash or remove it?
We remove it and repair the wall behind it. Tiling over old tile is a shortcut that shows at the edges and the outlets, and it steals counter depth. Doing the tear-out right is part of why the finished job looks built, not covered.
What if you find damage behind the old backsplash or counters?
We show it to you, explain it, and price the fix in writing before we proceed. No surprise change orders for work we should have seen coming, and no burying a problem behind new tile.
