What Nokomis homes call us for
Nokomis mixes bayfront and Gulf-side homes with older block houses and newer Laurel Road builds, so the repair list changes from street to street. These are the jobs we do most here.

General Repairs & Installs
Most Nokomis calls are a list, not a single job: a drywall patch where a door handle hit the wall, a ceiling fan to hang, a faucet that drips, a door that will not latch, and a TV to mount. We take the whole list in one visit, check what is behind the wall before mounting anything heavy, and leave the room cleaned up and painted-ready.

Ceiling fans, lights and faucets swapped
Doors adjusted so they latch again
TVs, shelves and mirrors mounted solidly

Salt-Air Hardware & Exterior Wood
On Casey Key and the canal streets of Sorrento Shores, salt air eats plain steel. Hinges seize, locks stop turning, screws bleed rust down the stucco and exterior fixtures pit through their finish. We swap in stainless or coated hardware, cut back soft exterior wood to sound material, and seal fasteners so the next season does not undo the repair.

Lanai Screens, Sliders & Seasonal Checks
Wind off the bay tears screens and pushes rain into slider tracks. We re-screen panels to proper tension, service tracks and rollers before anyone talks about new doors, and renew weatherstripping. For homes that sit empty part of the year we do a between-season walk-through of shut-offs, caulk lines, screens and exterior wood, with photos for the owner.

Why a Nokomis-focused handyman
Nokomis sits right next to Venice, but the houses are not the same. Casey Key and Sorrento Shores take salt air from the Gulf and the bay every day, while the Laurel Road side is mostly newer stud-framed homes that need fixture swaps and mounting more than rot repair. Knowing which one you have before we arrive saves a second trip.
The older Nokomis homes are often concrete block with thin furred-out interior walls, which changes how anything heavy gets mounted. We confirm the wall construction first, use masonry anchors where there is no framing, and anchor into studs where there is, so shelves and TVs stay where we put them.
Because we are based in Venice, Nokomis is a short drive and part of our regular route. That means faster scheduling, no long-drive surcharge, and the same handyman coming back when you have the next list ready.
Frequently asked
Questions Venice homeowners ask us
Straight answers — the same ones we give over the phone before a job goes on the calendar.
Do you serve all of Nokomis, including Casey Key?
Yes. We work across Nokomis (34275), including Casey Key, Sorrento Shores, Nokomis Beach, Pinebrook, Mission Valley and the Laurel Road neighborhoods. It is a short drive from our Venice base.
How fast can you get to a Nokomis home?
Most Nokomis calls get scoped within 24 hours, and the work is usually scheduled the same week. Call 941-928-1485 and tell us what is on your list.
What does a Nokomis handyman visit usually include?
Most visits are a mix of jobs: drywall patches, ceiling fans and lights, faucets, door adjustments, TV and shelf mounting, screens and exterior wood. You get a written quote first that lists exactly what is included.
Are you licensed and insured for gated communities?
Yes. We carry insurance and can send a certificate of insurance to your HOA, condo or gate office before the visit, and we work inside any posted contractor hours.
What repair services do you offer in Nokomis?
General home repairs: drywall, doors and locks, fans and light fixtures, faucets and toilets, caulking, fascia and wood rot, fence repair, lanai screen repair, TV mounting, gutter cleaning and pressure washing.
Do you take small jobs in Nokomis?
Yes. A single sticking door or one fan swap is fine. Adding a few items to the same visit gets you more done per trip. Call or text 941-928-1485.
Is your Nokomis work guaranteed?
Yes. Our work comes with a 90-day guarantee. If something we fixed isn't right, we come back and make it right.
What does a handyman in Venice, FL typically charge?
Our standard small-job rate is a flat $145 first hour (includes drive and basic materials) and $95 per hour after, materials at cost. Most punch-list visits — a sticking door, a wobbly fan, a leaky hose bib, a wall patch, a new mailbox — finish under two hours. We quote flat-rate on anything larger before we start.
What kinds of handyman jobs do you do in one visit?
Drywall patching, door alignment, hinge and lock fixes, ceiling fan and light fixture swaps, toilet and faucet replacement, picture and TV mounting, weatherstrip and caulking, hose bib replacement, mailbox installs, screen panel swaps, exterior touch-up paint, and gutter cleaning. The trick to saving money is bundling several into one trip.
What jobs do you NOT take as a handyman?
We don't do whole-house re-pipes, panel upgrades, new electrical circuits, structural framing, roofing, HVAC, or sewer work — those require Florida-licensed trades and we refer them out. We focus on the repair-and-replace work licensed contractors don't want to drive out for.
Do you serve my Venice-area neighborhood?
Almost certainly yes. We cover Venice Island, South Venice, Venice Gardens, North Venice, Jacaranda, Laurel, Nokomis, Osprey, Wellen Park, Englewood, Manasota Key and Rotonda West. Farther out? Call and we'll tell you same-day if we can take the job.
How fast can you start a job in Venice?
Most Venice and South Venice jobs go on the calendar same-day or next-day. Osprey and Englewood typically schedule within 48 hours. If it's an emergency — active leak, broken exterior door, storm damage — call directly and we'll try to fit you in the same day.
Do you give estimates over the phone or do I need to schedule a visit?
For most repairs we give an honest ballpark over the phone in under five minutes — you describe what's going on and we tell you a price range based on what we typically see. For larger projects (full repaints, multiple-room work, deck rebuilds) we'll come out and walk it with you. Phone estimates are always free; on-site estimates are free for projects we end up booking.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully insured for residential and HOA work across Sarasota County. Florida doesn't require a handyman license for repair work under specific thresholds, but we carry general liability and we're happy to send our certificate of insurance to your HOA or condo board before we start.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, Zelle, Venmo, and all major credit cards. No deposit required on small jobs — we invoice when the work is done and you're happy with it. Larger projects with material purchases may require a materials deposit, which we'll discuss up front.
Do you stand behind your work?
Every repair comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. If something we fixed comes back within twelve months, we come back and make it right — no callback fee, no excuses. That's the whole reason we're called Fix It Once.
Can I bundle multiple small fixes into one visit?
Yes — and you should. Most of our Venice customers save a trip charge by stacking a punch list: a sticking door, a wobbly fan, a leaky hose bib, a wall patch, a new mailbox. One trip, one invoice, the whole list done.
