One visit, the whole list

Seven jobs on the fridge. Six of them were ours.

Most people save the small jobs up until the list is worth a visit. That’s the right instinct. What they don’t get from most handymen is the honest sort before anyone starts: this one’s ours, this one needs a licensed electrician, this one the owner wants to look at first.

Line six is the one that matters. Swapping a ceiling fan is a job plenty of handymen will take. In Florida it’s electrical work, and electrical work for pay needs a licensed electrician, with no small-job exception. So it stays on your list, marked, at $0.00 from us, and nothing else on the list waits for it.

How every list gets sorted

Ours, a licensed trade’s, or the owner’s call.

Florida lets a handyman take small jobs, and draws hard lines around electrical, plumbing, A/C, roofing, structural and permit work. We sort your list against those lines out loud, before anything is written up.

Ours

Small repairs and installs, no license needed.

  • Mounting: TVs, shelves, mirrors, curtain rods, blinds, towel bars
  • Walls: drywall patches, nail pops, plaster cracks, touch-up paint
  • Doors: sticking, sagging, won’t latch; hinges, strikes, locksets
  • Cabinets: doors, hinges, pulls, drawer slides
  • Caulk, grout and tile in tubs, showers and sinks
  • Fences and decks: pickets, rails, gates, deck boards
  • Storm panels already made for the house, up and down
  • Small things: A/C filters, furniture assembly, bulbs

Referred, at $0.00

A licensed trade’s work in Florida. We name the trade, never a company.

  • Electrician: ceiling fans, light fixtures, outlets, switches, hardwired alarms, doorbells
  • Plumber: faucets, toilets, disposals, dishwashers, water heaters, leaks inside a wall
  • A/C contractor: thermostat, drain line, anything inside the system
  • Roofer: anything on the roof, tarps included
  • Licensed contractor: stairs, railings, joists, posts, new doors and windows, anything needing a permit

The owner looks first

Taken down, and neither yes nor no until he’s seen it.

  • Grab bars: where they go and what holds them matter
  • Pool-fence gates and latches: it’s a safety barrier
  • Toilet tank parts: the line between a part and a water connection isn’t clear
  • Painted surfaces in a pre-1978 house: old paint changes who can do it
  • Outside work in Sanford’s historic districts: the city signs off first
  • Any list likely to pass $2,500
Tell me the first job, the way you’d write it on the fridge.
Swap the ceiling fan in the living room
That one needs a licensed electrician. In Florida, even swapping a ceiling fan means connecting two wires, and the state says that takes a license. I’ll leave it on your list marked electrician, at $0.00 from us, and we’ll do the rest.

Cabinets are ours: doors, hinges, pulls and drawer slides.

Grab bars we look at before we say yes: where they go, and what they’re anchored into, matter, and some installations need a licensed contractor. It stays on the list and the owner will tell you straight.

Word for word from the chat on this page. Try your own list: it sorts as you type.

Try it: it sorts as you type

Type the list the way you’d write it on the fridge.

One job at a time. Each one gets a straight answer the moment it lands: ours, a licensed trade’s, or the owner’s call. The list stays in view with a running count, and at the end it asks who lets us in and which part of the week suits.

It won’t give you a total, because nobody can price a list honestly from a chat. A doorknob hole is twenty minutes until it turns out to be plaster. The owner reads the list and writes you a price before anyone starts.

Three kinds of list

Your house, your rental, or the one going on the market.

Homeowners

The list that’s been on the fridge since spring. We take it in one visit, and tell you which lines belong to someone else before you’re charged for any of it.

Landlords & property managers

Move-out to rent-ready. The chat asks whether a tenant is still there and has been told, who lets us in, and whether the owner set a spending limit.

Realtors

Pre-listing fixes and the buyer’s inspection report. Paste the report in line by line; the electrical and plumbing lines get sorted out before they hold up a closing.

The line most handymen don’t mention

We tell you where Florida’s line is before we start.

Florida’s handyman exemption covers work that is “casual, minor, or inconsequential” and under $2,500 in total, labor and materials together. Past that, or if it’s part of a bigger job, it needs a licensed contractor.

A rental turnover or an inspection list can cross that line. When yours might, we say so up front. We don’t split a list into smaller invoices to stay under it. The law says a job divided to dodge the limit doesn’t count as small, and neither do we.

What the list is for

Nobody wants a handyman. They want the house back.

A gate that latches, a TV off the dresser, a deck the kids can run on. Stock photographs of ordinary life. This company is invented, so it has no customers to show you.

How a visit goes

The list, the sort, a written price, then the visit.

    In the chat, on the request form, or read out over the phone. As many lines as you’ve got.

  2. It gets sorted, out loud

    Ours, referred to a licensed trade, or the owner’s call. You see which is which before anything else happens.

  3. A written price before anyone starts

    By the hour with a one-hour minimum, or a half-day or full-day block for a long list. Materials approved before they’re bought.

  4. One trip, the whole list

    You get the list back with every line ticked, including the referred ones at $0.00.

Type it in one line at a time and watch it sort. Nothing is booked, and nothing you type on this demonstration goes anywhere.

We built this one. The next one has your name on it.

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.
