“Leonor repaired some hurricane damage at my mobile home. I was dreading the repair process but she made it pleasant. Very courteous and efficient. I would use her again.”
“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.”

What We Handle
The Post-Storm Repair List
Every kind of storm damage except the roof itself, handled by one crew with one written price instead of a phonebook of trades.
Fence & Gate Storm Repair
Wind-flattened sections stood back up, snapped posts replaced, panels rebuilt, and gates rehung so they latch again and the yard is yours.
Screen & Lanai Panel Repair
Blown-out screen panels replaced and frames straightened so the lanai is usable again before mosquito season notices.
Soffit, Fascia & Gutter Repair
The roofline trim and gutters the wind peeled first, rebuilt and rehung properly, not bent back and hoped over. High winds and hail go for the roofline before anything else on the house.
Ceiling & Drywall Repair After Leaks
Once the roofer has the leak fixed, the water damage has to be fully dry before interior work starts. We check that it is, then repair the stained ceilings and walls and match the texture and paint.
Pre-Season Prep Jobs
Shutter hardware checks, garage door bracing checks, securing loose exterior items, and plywood cut and fitted to your openings before you need it.
One Crew for Everything but the Roof
Yes, we can put it back, and you do not have to find five different trades to do it. When a storm rolls through, the damage list is never one thing. The fence is down in the neighbor's yard, the lanai screens are ripped, a run of soffit is peeled back, the gutters are bent, a door got racked in its frame, and there is a water stain spreading on the living room ceiling. Wind damage outside, water damage inside, and a yard full of debris: that is the shape of it at most houses. Meanwhile every roofer in the county is booked for months, and they are booked on roofs, not on any of that.
That list is our job, and we are glad to take it. The Handyman Company sends one crew to work through it: fence and gate rebuilt, screens repanelled, soffit and fascia and gutters put back right, doors rehung, and once the roof is patched and dry, the stained ceilings and drywall inside repaired and painted so the storm stops being visible from the couch. One written price for the list, itemized so an insurance adjuster can actually verify it, permits pulled where the county requires them, and a one year warranty on the work.
Before the season, we help with the prep jobs that never make it to the top of anyone's weekend: checking and lubricating shutter hardware, checking garage door bracing, securing loose gutters and fence posts and anything else the wind will find, and cutting and fitting plywood for openings that need it. Serving Florida since 1999, with more than 100,000 customers served.

The Post-Storm Walk: Do This Before You Call Anyone
Once the all-clear is given and it is safe to be outside, walk the property within the first day or so with your phone out. Photos taken before anything gets moved or cleaned up are worth more than any description, to us and to your insurance claim.
- Walk the fence line first, both sides. Photograph leaning sections, snapped posts, and where panels ended up, including the ones in the neighbor's yard.
- Circle the lanai and screen enclosure. Shoot every torn panel, bent frame member, and any tree limbs still on the structure, not just the worst spot, because they all go on the same list.
- Look up at the roofline from each side of the house. Peeled soffit, hanging gutter, cracked fascia, and missing shingles all photograph well from the ground. Stay off the ladder.
- Check every exterior door, the garage door, and the windows. A door that rubs its frame after the storm got racked by pressure, and that is a repair, not a quirk. A broken window should be boarded early.
- Walk every ceiling inside with the lights on. Fresh stains mean water got past the roof, and the photo with a date on it matters for the claim conversation.
- Leave the roof itself to a roofer, and leave anything sagging, sparking, or leaning over a wire completely alone, including outlets anywhere water got in. Photograph from a distance and keep people away.
- If you have to tarp a hole or board a window before help arrives, photograph the damage first and keep the receipts. Temporary repairs protect the house while you wait, but they should be documented and should never hide the original damage from the adjuster.
Then send us the list, rough is fine. One crew works through everything on it except the roof, and a person picks up when you call.
Built for Florida
Storm season is a fact of the Florida calendar
Hurricane season runs June through November and peaks late summer into fall, with rain, hail, and severe weather landing outside those months too. That means the smart window for prep work is spring, when nobody is thinking about it and everybody can get on a schedule. The homeowners who have their shutters checked and their loose items secured in May are the ones not standing in a hardware store line in a spaghetti-model week.
After a big one, the scarcest resource in any Florida town is a licensed crew that can actually show up, and outside help is always delayed. That is where six local offices matter: Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Melbourne mean our crews are already here, working their own communities, not trucked in from out of state chasing the damage.
What Moves a Storm Repair Estimate
The length of the list
One crew working a whole list beats five trades each charging their own trip. The more of the storm's damage we can put in one written price, the better that price works for you.
What has to wait on the roofer
Exterior repairs can start right away. Interior ceilings and drywall wait until the roof is fixed and everything is dry, so the estimate separates the two instead of guessing at the second half.
Matching what the wind took
A fence panel that matches the rest of the run, screen mesh that matches the enclosure, soffit that matches the roofline. Matching takes more care than replacing, and it is the difference you see from the street.
The season itself
After a stretch of stormy weather, materials and every trade in town get scarce at the same time. A written price you can hold is worth the most in exactly the weeks when everything else is moving.

Hurricane Prep & Storm Damage Repair: Common Questions
Who is the best storm damage repair company in Florida?
After a hurricane, The Handyman Company takes everything on the list except the roof: fences, screens, soffit, gutters, doors, and the ceilings inside, with employee crews who were already in your area before the storm. Licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, a written price, and a one year warranty separate the company from the out-of-state trucks that appear after every storm. That has been true every season since 1999.
Do you repair the roof itself?
No, and you want the honest answer on that. Roof repair belongs to a licensed roofer, suspected structural damage needs a professional assessment, and electrical damage belongs to that trade too. What we repair is every other kind of wind and storm damage around them: the fence, screens, soffit, gutters, doors, and the interior ceilings and drywall once the roof is fixed and dry. Same logic for a fallen tree. If it hit the roof, the roofer goes first. If it took down power lines, that is the utility's job before anyone's. If it hit the fence, the screens, or the siding, that is us. Between us and your roofer, the whole list gets covered.
How soon after a storm should I call?
As soon as you have your list, even a rough one. Roofers book up fastest, so get in a roofing queue for the roof and get us moving on everything else at the same time. The two tracks do not have to wait on each other, except for interior ceiling work, which waits until the roof is dry. Get temporary protection up promptly, and do not sit on water damage: water left in a wall can have mold growing within days.
Can you help with insurance claims and what my adjuster needs?
The claim conversation is between you and your insurer, but what we provide helps: a line-item written scope and a guaranteed price for the repairs, which reads far better to an adjuster than a lump sum on a napkin. File the claim promptly, because most policies require quick notice, and know that wind damage and flood damage are treated differently, since flood is usually its own policy. Photograph everything before anyone touches it, then bring us the list. The goal is simple: the house put back the way it was before the storm, with paperwork that proves it.
What kind of hurricane prep do you actually do?
The jobs on the prep list homeowners never get to: checking shutter tracks and hardware so panels actually go up when it counts, checking garage door bracing, securing loose gutters, fence posts, and anything in the yard the wind will pick up, and cutting and fitting plywood for openings that need covering. Tell us what your house needs and we will quote those jobs like any other work.
My ceiling is stained but the roof is not fixed yet. Can you start inside?
Not on the ceiling, because rebuilding under a live leak just buys the same repair twice. We can start on the fence, screens, and exterior list right away. The moment the roofer has the leak closed and things are dry, we repair the interior and put it back the way it was before the storm.
What does storm damage repair cost?
Every storm damage list is different, and the cost only climbs when repairs get delayed and hidden damage keeps working. The estimate is free, and the price for the whole list is guaranteed in writing before work starts. In a season when prices get strange, a written number you can hold is worth a lot.
