“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
Everything the storm broke except the roof itself, handled by one crew with one written price instead of a phonebook of trades.
Fence & Gate Storm Repair
Leaning sections stood back up, snapped posts replaced, panels rebuilt, and gates rehung so they latch again.
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.
Ceiling & Drywall Repair After Leaks
Once the roofer has the leak fixed and things are dry, we repair the stained ceilings and walls inside 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
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. 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. 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, 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 it is safe to be outside, walk the property with your phone out. Photos taken before anything gets moved are worth more than any description.
- 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 and bent frame member, not just the worst one, because they all go on the same list.
- Look up at the roofline from each side of the house. Peeled soffit, hanging gutter, and cracked fascia photograph well from the ground; stay off the ladder.
- Check every exterior door and the garage door. A door that rubbed its frame after the storm got racked by pressure, and that is a repair, not a quirk.
- 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. Photograph from a distance and keep people away.
Then send us the list, rough is fine. One crew works through everything on it except the roof.
Built for Florida
Storm season is a fact of the Florida calendar
Hurricane season runs June through November and peaks late summer into fall, which 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. 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 big storm, 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
Do you repair the roof itself?
No, and you want the honest answer on that: roof repair belongs to a licensed roofer, and structural or electrical damage belongs to those trades too. What we repair is everything around them: the fence, screens, soffit, gutters, doors, and the interior ceilings and drywall once the roof is fixed and dry. 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 in parallel. The two tracks do not have to wait on each other, except for interior ceiling work, which waits until the roof is dry.
Can you help with what my insurance adjuster needs?
The claim conversation is between you and your insurer, but what we provide helps: a clear written scope and a guaranteed price for the repairs, which is the paperwork an adjuster wants to see. Photograph everything before anyone touches it, then bring us the list.
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, and the moment the roofer has the leak closed and things are dry, we repair the interior.
What does storm damage repair cost?
Every storm list is different, so 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.
