Sprinkler & Irrigation Service in Venice, FL

Frequently asked

Questions Venice homeowners ask us

Straight answers — the same ones we give over the phone before a job goes on the calendar.

How much does a sprinkler tune-up cost in Venice, FL?

Our standard sprinkler tune-up is $149 flat. That includes a full walk-through of every zone, a written punch list, and adjustments to arc, radius, and tilted risers. Replacement heads and nozzles are billed at material cost on top — usually $5–$15 per spray head or $25–$45 per rotor.

Can you program my Rain Bird or Hunter controller for me?

Yes. Controller reprogram and rain sensor check is $89 flat. We program Rain Bird ESP, Hunter X-Core / Pro-C / Hydrawise, and Orbit B-Hyve to Sarasota County's twice-a-week watering rules with correct start times and seasonal adjust, and we walk you through the app if it's Wi-Fi capable.

Do you fix sprinkler valves that won't shut off?

Yes — that's almost always a torn diaphragm or a stuck solenoid in the valve box. We open the box, test the solenoid with a meter, replace the failed part, and verify the zone cycles correctly. Valve / solenoid repair is $189 per valve with parts at cost.

Do you cover Nokomis, Osprey, and North Port too?

Yes. We service Venice, Venice Island, Nokomis, Osprey, North Port, Englewood, and South Sarasota for sprinkler and irrigation work — same flat-rate pricing across the whole service area.

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, Sarasota, or North Port neighborhood?

Almost certainly yes. We cover Venice Island, South Venice, Jacaranda, Nokomis, Osprey, North Port (all zips), Wellen Park, Englewood, Rotonda West, Sarasota south of Bee Ridge, Palmer Ranch, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, and the Lakewood Ranch villages. Call and we'll confirm same-day.

How fast can you start a job in Venice?

Most Venice and South Venice jobs go on the calendar same-day or next-day. Sarasota 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.

Do you work inside Venice HOAs and gated communities?

Yes — we work inside The Plantation, Venice Golf & Country Club, IslandWalk, Renaissance, Pelican Pointe, and most of the gated Wellen Park communities. We keep approved paint codes and mailbox specs on file, and we'll send our certificate of insurance to your board before the first visit.

Are you on Venice Island for smaller cottage and condo jobs?

Often — Venice Island is a 10-minute drive from our shop. We handle the tight-access trim, plaster, and salt-rot work that bigger crews skip, and we know the loading and parking rules for the downtown condos.

How fast can you get to Wellen Park or South Venice?

Wellen Park (IslandWalk, Renaissance, Solis, Sunstone) and South Venice usually get same-week scheduling — most jobs on the calendar within 2–4 days. Warranty-period punch lists on new builds are something we book all the time.

What's the cost of an after-storm repair visit in Venice?

After a named storm we triage by urgency, not by call order — active leaks, blown lanai screens, and broken exterior doors go first. The trip charge is the same as a normal visit, and we'll quote the repair on site before any work starts.
