Your Trusted Handyman in Estero
Estero is home. Our team has been fixing, building, and repairing homes here since 2010 — years before the village even incorporated in 2014. We know every neighborhood, every builder's quirks, and every common repair that comes with owning a home in Southwest Florida.
Most of Estero's roughly 27,000 homes were built between 1998 and 2007 during one of the biggest construction booms in Florida history. Lee County issued 2,833 building permits in Estero in 2005 alone. That rapid growth on sandy Florida soils means many homes are now showing their age: drywall cracks at door frames from foundation settling, stucco discoloration from a decade of humidity and UV, screen enclosures corroded by salt air drifting in from Estero Bay, and sliding doors that stick because the tracks have worn down.
If you live in a golf course community — and with 11 courses packed into just 20 square miles, there is a good chance you do — your home has some extra wear. Larger lanai enclosures mean more screen surface to maintain. More sun-facing stucco means faster fading and cracking. Sliding glass doors along the lanai take constant UV abuse, degrading seals and warping tracks. And if your home backs up to a fairway in Stoneybrook or Grandezza, you already know about golf ball damage to screens.
We handle all of it. Drywall patching and texture matching for settlement cracks. Full lanai rescreens and panel repairs. Plumbing fixes from leaky faucets to garbage disposals. Electrical upgrades, painting, door repairs, and carpentry. As a licensed contractor (CBC-1259887), we can pull permits when the job requires it — something most handymen in Estero simply cannot do.
With 541+ five-star Google reviews and a client list that stretches across every major Estero community, we have earned the trust of this village one repair at a time. Give us a call at (239) 880-2423 — we will take care of it.
Handyman Services We Provide in Estero
From quick fixes to full-day projects, here is what our team handles for Estero homeowners.
Common Home Repairs in Estero, FL
Estero's housing stock is young by national standards, but Florida's climate ages homes faster than most owners expect. Here are the repair categories we handle most often in Estero.
Drywall & Interior Repairs
Settlement cracks at door and window frames, ceiling seam separations, nail pops, water-damaged drywall, and texture matching. Common in homes built during the 2000–2007 construction boom.
Screen & Lanai Repairs
Panel patching, full rescreens, aluminum frame repairs, spline replacement, and sliding screen door track cleaning. Salt air and UV exposure make this the most frequent repair call in Estero.
Plumbing Repairs
Leaky faucets, running toilets, garbage disposal replacement, under-sink pipe repairs, and water heater maintenance. Hard water mineral buildup is a constant issue in Southwest Florida.
Electrical Work
Ceiling fan installation, light fixture swaps, GFCI outlet upgrades, dimmer switch installation, and smoke detector replacement. All electrical work done to code under our CBC-1259887 license.
Painting & Stucco
Interior touch-ups, accent walls, full room repaints, and exterior stucco crack repair. Florida humidity and UV cause paint to fade and stucco to crack faster than in drier climates.
Doors, Windows & Carpentry
Sliding door roller and track repairs, weatherstripping replacement, door hardware upgrades, closet shelving, and trim work. Humidity swells wood and corrodes hardware — both common in Estero homes.

Family-Owned Since 2010
Estero is our home base. We have been fixing homes in this community since 2010 — before many of the newer developments even broke ground. We are not a franchise. We live here, we work here, and we are not going anywhere.
About Estero, FL
Estero is a village of about 39,000 people tucked between Naples and Fort Myers along the Southwest Florida coast. Residents voted overwhelmingly — 86% in favor — to incorporate as a village on December 31, 2014, adopting design standards inspired by Boca Raton to protect the community's character as development pressure grew.
The community is anchored by master-planned neighborhoods, most built during the early 2000s boom. Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club offers luxury waterfront living on a 700-acre freshwater lake. Shadow Wood at The Brooks features 54 holes of golf and custom estate homes. Pelican Landing and Pelican Sound combine estate homes and luxury towers with 72 holes of Jerry Pate-designed golf. Grandezza, Stoneybrook, and Rapallo are gated golf communities with homes ranging from the $300s to well over a million. Bella Terra, Rookery Pointe, and Coconut Shores provide newer construction in smaller, more intimate settings. The Cascades at Estero serves the active adult 55+ market.
With a median resident age of 66 and more than half the population over 65, Estero homeowners value reliable service, clear communication, and quality work. Many are seasonal residents — about 26% of housing units are owned by non-residents who need a trusted contractor to keep their home maintained while they are away. That is exactly what we do. Whether you are here year-round or six months a year, our team treats your home the same way we treat our own.

Recent Projects in Estero
Last month our team completed a full lanai rescreen for a homeowner in Stoneybrook whose enclosure had taken golf ball damage across four panels and had aluminum frame corrosion along the bottom rail. We replaced all damaged screening, treated the corrosion, and installed new spline throughout. The whole job was finished in one day.
In Miromar Lakes, we handled a 14-item home inspection report for a couple buying their first Florida home. The list included drywall crack repairs at three door frames, two GFCI outlet installations, a garbage disposal replacement, sliding door roller repair, smoke detector upgrades, and interior touch-up painting. We knocked out everything in two visits so the buyers could close on time.
We also recently repaired settling cracks and repainted a master bedroom in Grandezza, replaced water-damaged baseboards and trim in a Pelican Landing villa, and installed ceiling fans and dimmer switches in a Bella Terra coach home. Every project backed by our license (CBC-1259887) and our commitment to leaving the job site clean.

Frequently Asked Questions About Handyman Services in Estero
Do you service golf course communities like Miromar Lakes and Shadow Wood?
Yes. We work in every golf community in Estero, including Miromar Lakes, Shadow Wood at The Brooks, Grandezza, Stoneybrook, Pelican Landing, and Rapallo. We understand the specific repair needs of golf course homes — larger screen enclosures, sliding door seal wear from constant sun exposure, stucco damage from UV and irrigation, and the oversized lanai structures common in these neighborhoods. We also work with HOA requirements for exterior repairs and modifications.
My lanai screen has holes and the frame is corroding. Can you fix that?
Absolutely. Screen and lanai repairs are one of our most common calls in Estero. Salt air from Estero Bay corrodes aluminum frames over time, UV light degrades the screening material, and golf balls are a constant hazard in communities like Stoneybrook and Grandezza. We handle everything from patching individual screen panels ($200–$600 for minor repairs) to full rescreens. Most Estero lanai screens need a full rescreen every 7–10 years.
I have diagonal cracks above my door frames and along ceiling seams. Is that normal?
In Estero, it is very common. Most homes here were built between 1998 and 2007, and many sit on rapidly developed sandy soils. As the ground settles, you will see diagonal drywall cracks at door and window corners and separating seams along ceilings. This is especially common in homes built during the 2005 construction peak. Our team patches and blends these cracks to match your existing wall texture. If the cracks keep returning, that may indicate an ongoing settling issue we can help you evaluate.
We are snowbirds and need someone to prep our home before we leave and when we come back. Do you do that?
We do. About one in four Estero homes is owned by seasonal residents, and we handle pre-departure and return prep regularly. Before you leave, we can check smoke detectors, replace air filters, verify plumbing shut-offs, inspect screen enclosures, and address any deferred repairs on your list. When you come back, we can do a walkthrough to catch anything that came up over the off-season — humidity damage, pest entry points, water heater issues, or stucco cracking. Call us a few weeks before your travel dates and we will get you scheduled.
Our HOA requires approved contractors for exterior work. Are you approved?
We are a State of Florida Certified Building Contractor, license CBC-1259887. That exceeds the contractor requirements of every HOA we have worked with in Estero, including communities in The Brooks, Pelican Landing, Bella Terra, and Grandezza. We carry full insurance and can provide your HOA with any documentation they need — certificates of insurance, license verification, and project details. Many HOAs in Estero already have us on file from previous projects.
