Handyman in Gulf Stream, FL
A small, private barrier-island town of estate homes built around a country club. Under a thousand residents, and word travels.
The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured, owner-operated handyman service covering Gulf Stream. I handle fixture replacement, finish carpentry, art and mirror hanging, coastal hardware replacement, smart home and camera installation, and seasonal punch lists for the town’s single-family estate properties — booked as a scheduled visit with a written estimate.

What I Cover Here
Gulf Stream sits on the barrier island between Ocean Ridge and Delray Beach, centred on the country club.
Gulf Stream was first platted in the mid-1910s and incorporated in 1925, built around its country club. It is a small town of large single-family estates on the barrier island, with very little association or condo housing — and, like the rest of this coast, constant salt exposure on everything exterior.
Why Gulf Stream Homeowners Call The Palm Beach Fixer
A town under a thousand people runs on reputation alone. There is no version of this where cutting a corner on your house works out for me, because the next three calls come from your neighbours or they do not come at all.
Practically that means the boring things done consistently: arriving when I said, protecting the floors, keeping the work area clean, and telling you honestly when something is outside what I should be touching.
Discretion is part of the work. I do not photograph client property without permission and I do not discuss one client with another. If you want the job documented for your own records, I will document it and it goes to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to Gulf Stream?
Yes, as a scheduled visit. It sits south of my core route, so it is booked as a planned appointment rather than same-day dispatch — with a same-day callback either way.
Can you work with our estate or property manager?
Yes. Give me their contact and I will coordinate access, scheduling and insurance documentation directly with them rather than putting that on you.
Are you insured?
Yes. The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured professional LLC and I can provide a certificate of insurance to any property or manager that asks for one.
How much does the work cost?
Hourly runs $87 to $125 depending on scope and access. Common items are flat-priced — $150 per ceiling fan, $50 to $75 per outlet or switch, bathroom faucets from $150, kitchen faucets from $250. Larger scopes get a written estimate first.
What will you not take on?
Permit-required work — panel changes, re-pipes, structural modification. That belongs to a permitted trade contractor and I will say so directly.
