You walk through your house and the list keeps growing — a bathroom faucet dripping since last month, a bedroom door that won't latch, three ceiling fan pulls that broke off, and the lanai screen your dog ran through in October. That's a Tuesday for us.
Beyond the core repairs above, our team handles a full range of home maintenance work across Southwest Florida. We do interior and exterior painting — accent walls, full room repaints, cabinet refinishing, and touch-ups where Florida's UV and daily afternoon thunderstorms have worn the finish down. Carpentry is another big part of what we do: trim work, crown molding, custom shelving, built-in storage, and deck repairs. Humidity down here causes wood to swell and warp faster than most homeowners expect, so trim and baseboard replacements are a regular call for us.
On the electrical side, we install light fixtures, ceiling fans, dimmer switches, outlets, and GFCI upgrades for code compliance. Screen and lanai repairs are one of our most frequent jobs — lanai enclosures are on nearly every home in Southwest Florida, and between salt air corrosion, UV degradation, and the occasional golf ball, they need regular attention. We rescreen panels, repair aluminum frames, and replace worn-out spline and sliding screen door tracks.
We also handle seasonal work that matters in this climate: hurricane shutter installation and storm prep before hurricane season, plus caulking and weatherproofing to keep moisture from working its way into stucco joints and window frames. Mold can start forming within 24–48 hours from even a small leak in this humidity, so staying ahead of it saves real money. We offer an extended warranty on all labor and materials we provide, and we handle both residential and light commercial repairs. One call to (239) 880-2423 covers the whole list.
You can trust us to help with your home maintenance needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Repairs
How much do home repairs cost in Estero, FL?
The average handyman visit in Estero runs $360–$536, though it depends on the project. Individual repairs like faucet replacement ($100–$300), drywall patching ($120–$350), or door repair ($75–$220) each have their own range. We charge by the project, not by the hour — so you know the cost before we start. Give us a call at (239) 880-2423 for a free estimate on your specific project.
What’s the difference between a handyman and a licensed contractor in Florida?
In Florida, handymen can perform basic repairs like painting, furniture assembly, and minor maintenance without a license. But any work involving plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or projects over $500 requires a licensed contractor. Chad The Handyman holds a State of Florida Certified Building Contractor license (CBC-1259887), which means we can legally handle the full range of home repairs — including plumbing, electrical, drywall on load-bearing walls, and permitted work that an unlicensed handyman cannot touch. Most of the “handyman” companies in Estero are not licensed.
How long do most home repair projects take?
Most individual repairs take 1–4 hours. A faucet replacement or door adjustment is usually under 2 hours. Drywall repair, depending on size, takes 1–3 hours plus drying time for compound and paint. We often handle multiple repairs in a single visit — bring us your whole list and we’ll knock it out in one trip. Larger projects like flooring installation or full-room painting have their own timelines that we’ll discuss during your estimate.
What kinds of home repairs are most common in Southwest Florida?
SW Florida homes deal with humidity-driven issues that homes up north don’t see as much. The most common repairs we handle: drywall cracks from settling (concrete block construction shifts), faucet and toilet repairs from hard water mineral buildup, lanai screen repairs and rescreening, exterior paint touch-ups from UV and salt air damage, door hardware replacement from salt air corrosion, fascia and soffit rot from humidity, and GFCI outlet installation for code compliance. The climate here is tough on homes, and these repairs come up repeatedly.
Do I need a permit for home repairs in Florida?
Most minor home repairs — patching drywall, replacing faucets, painting, adjusting doors — do not require permits. But work that involves structural changes, new electrical circuits, plumbing rerouting, or additions typically does. As a licensed contractor (CBC-1259887), we know exactly which projects require permits in Lee and Collier County, and we handle the permitting process when it’s needed. Using an unlicensed handyman for permit-required work can result in fines and problems when you sell your home.
