Questions

Including “why won’t you swap my fan?”

The questions people ask most, answered straight. If yours isn’t here, the chat takes it down and the owner answers it himself.

Why won’t you swap my ceiling fan?

Because in Florida it’s electrical work, and electrical work for pay needs a licensed electrician, with no small-job exception. It stays on your list, marked electrician, at $0.00 from us, and we do the rest.

Can you do the whole list in one visit?

Usually, yes. That’s the point of sending it as a list. Most visits are three to seven jobs; a long list may be a full day, or two.

What’s the $2,500 line?

Florida’s handyman exemption covers small jobs where the whole thing, labor and materials together, stays under $2,500. Past that, or if it’s part of a bigger job, it needs a licensed contractor. If your list might cross it, we tell you first.

Will you split my list into smaller jobs to stay under $2,500?

No. The law says a job divided up to dodge the limit doesn’t count as small, and we won’t do it.

How do you charge?

By the hour with a one-hour minimum, or a half-day or full-day block for a long list. Materials are approved before they’re bought. The owner reads your list and writes you a price before anyone starts; the chat never gives you a total.

Is there a Florida handyman license?

No. Florida doesn’t license handyman work, and local governments can’t either. What limits a handyman is the kind of job and its size, which is why we sort your list before we start.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as somebody can let us in: a tenant who’s been told, a property manager, or a lockbox you’ve arranged. Please don’t type a lockbox code into the chat.

My house is in a historic district. Does that matter?

For outside work, yes. Sanford wants a Certificate of Appropriateness before any exterior work in its historic districts, repairs included. Inside work doesn’t need one.

My house is older than 1978.

Then painted surfaces need care: sanding or cutting into more than a small patch of old paint needs a firm certified for lead-safe work. The owner checks that before anything painted is touched.

Can I send a picture of the job?

Not through this demonstration’s chat. Describe the job in words, and the owner asks about anything else when he calls back.

Is anything booked when I finish the chat?

No. Nothing is booked, held or confirmed. The chat takes a list and a number; the owner calls you back to arrange a visit.

What the chat on this page is doing

Type the job list one line at a time and it sorts each job as it lands — ours, a licensed trade’s, or the owner’s call. Say ceiling fan and it tells you that in Florida even swapping a fan means connecting two wires, so it goes to a licensed electrician at $0.00.

It takes a name and a number and hands it straight over. Nothing here is held, booked or confirmed, and it will not price the job.
