Handyman Services in Fort Myers, FL

Fort Myers is the county seat of Lee County and the largest city in Chad The Handyman's service area, with a population of about 101,000. It sits along the Caloosahatchee River and has been the commercial and cultural center of Southwest Florida since the late 1800s. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford both built winter estates here — their properties along McGregor Boulevard are now a museum that draws over 200,000 visitors a year.

The city's neighborhoods tell the story of a century of growth. Dean Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2013, contains about 80 homes built between 1916 and the mid-1920s in Craftsman, Spanish, Mediterranean, Tudor, and Colonial Revival styles. Edison Park was developed in the 1940s and 1950s, with mid-century Mediterranean Revival homes that still have original hardwood floors, terrazzo, and character details. Seminole Park, tucked off McGregor Boulevard, dates to the 1920s. San Carlos Park, established in 1953 on land purchased from the Koreshan Unity settlement for under $3,000, grew into an affordable family community through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

On the other end of the spectrum, Gateway is a 3,000-acre master-planned community with 40+ sub-neighborhoods, newer construction, and homes ranging from $200K condos to estates over $950K. The Daniels Corridor and Alico Road area — where our office is located — is one of the fastest-growing commercial districts in Lee County, with 50,000 vehicles passing on Alico Road daily. No matter which Fort Myers neighborhood you call home, our team is close by and ready to help.

We recently completed a full interior repaint and drywall repair for a homeowner in Edison Park whose home had water staining from a roof leak that was repaired after Hurricane Ian but never properly addressed inside. Our team cut out and replaced the damaged drywall sections, matched the existing texture, primed, and repainted the affected rooms. The homeowner had been living with the stains for over two years.

In Gateway, we handled a 22-item home inspection report for a family relocating from out of state. The list included GFCI outlet installations in the kitchen and bathrooms, ceiling fan replacements in three bedrooms, a garbage disposal swap, sliding door roller repair, drywall touch-ups, and baseboard replacement in the garage entry. We finished everything in three visits, and the closing went through on schedule.

Along the McGregor corridor, we upgraded the electrical outlets in a 1950s-era home from 2-prong to grounded 3-prong, installed GFCI protection in the kitchen and bathroom, replaced the original doorknobs with lever handles for the homeowner's mobility needs, and repaired water-damaged trim around two windows.
