Handyman in Jupiter, FL
Coastal homes and second residences, where salt air is quietly working on your hardware the entire time you are away.
The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured, owner-operated handyman service covering Jupiter, Florida. I handle ceiling fans and lighting, plumbing fixtures, carpentry and trim, TV and art mounting, smart home installation, and the corrosion-driven hardware replacement that coastal properties need — scheduled as a planned visit with a written estimate.
Handyman Services in Jupiter
Jupiter spans new construction in Abacoa, older coastal homes near the inlet, and large properties out in Jupiter Farms. The work varies with the neighborhood.
Coastal Hardware Replacement
Hinges, latches, fixtures, and fasteners that salt air has taken — replaced with rated equivalents.
Lighting & Fan Installation
Interior and covered-exterior fans and fixtures, including high ceilings and outdoor-rated locations.
Plumbing Fixtures
Faucets, toilets, disposals, and shower trim throughout the house in one scheduled visit.
Finish Carpentry
Trim, shelving, closet systems, and doors that swell and stick in coastal humidity.
Smart Home & Cameras
Smart locks, hardwired cameras, doorbells, and thermostats — useful when the house sits empty.
Second-Home Punch Lists
Arrival and departure lists so a part-time residence does not accumulate problems.
Neighborhoods We Cover in Jupiter
I cover Jupiter from the coastal neighborhoods near the inlet through Abacoa and west into Jupiter Farms.
Jupiter runs from older single-story coastal homes near the inlet to 2000s new-urbanist construction in Abacoa and large-parcel properties in Jupiter Farms. What most of it shares is proximity to salt air, which is relentless on exterior hardware, fixture finishes, and anything metal that is not rated for it.
Why Jupiter Homeowners Call The Palm Beach Fixer
Coastal properties fail from the outside in. Hinges seize, screws rust through, fixture finishes pit, and outdoor-rated stops being optional. The fix is not doing the same repair every eighteen months — it is specifying hardware that belongs in that environment the first time.
Jupiter is a longer run from my Northwood base, so I schedule it as a planned visit rather than a same-day call. That works best when there is a real list, which is usually the case for a house that is only occupied part of the year.
Jupiter is a scheduled visit, not a same-day run. It is a real drive from my base, so bundling several items into one appointment is how this works best. Same-day callback either way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to Jupiter?
Yes. Jupiter is outside my core service zone, so I book it as a planned visit rather than same-day dispatch. You will get a callback the same day you reach out, and we will find a date that works.
Can you handle salt-air corrosion damage?
Yes — seized hinges, corroded fasteners, and pitted fixture finishes are routine coastal problems. The important part is replacing with hardware actually rated for the environment, so you are not repeating the repair in a year.
How much does a handyman cost in Jupiter?
Hourly runs $87 to $125 depending on scope and access. Flat prices apply to common jobs — $150 per ceiling fan, $50 to $75 per outlet or switch, bathroom faucets from $150, kitchen faucets from $250, hardwired Ring cameras at $200 each.
Do you look after second homes and seasonal properties?
Yes. Arrival and departure punch lists are a regular part of my work — handling the small items so an empty house does not turn them into expensive ones over a season.
Are you insured, and can you provide a COI?
Yes. The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured professional LLC and I can provide a certificate of insurance for a community, association, or building that requires one.
