Handyman in North Palm Beach, FL
Village homes from the 1950s and 60s are hitting the age where everything wants replacing at once. That is most of what I do here.
The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured, owner-operated handyman service covering North Palm Beach. I handle ceiling fans and lighting, plumbing fixture replacement, drywall and trim repair, doors, TV mounting, and smart home installation — with a same-day callback and a written estimate before any real work begins.
Handyman Services in North Palm Beach
North Palm Beach is largely a mid-century village, and mid-century houses fail in predictable ways. Here is what I get called for.
Fixture Modernization
Replacing original fans, lights, and bath fixtures without tearing the house apart to do it.
Plumbing Fixtures
Faucets, toilets, shower trim, disposals, and valves that have not been touched since the house was built.
Doors & Hardware
Original doors that swell, drag, and stop latching — adjusted, rehung, or replaced.
Drywall, Trim & Paint
Patching, baseboard, casing, and touch-up after decades of settling and repair.
TV & Wall Mounting
Level, secure, and into structure — including block walls common in this era of construction.
Smart Home Upgrades
Video doorbells, smart locks, thermostats, and cameras added to houses that predate all of it.
Neighborhoods We Cover in North Palm Beach
I cover the Village of North Palm Beach broadly, including the waterfront communities along the Intracoastal and the neighborhoods around the country club.
The village was developed largely in the 1950s and 1960s, which means block construction, original galvanized or copper supply lines, and electrical that has been added onto rather than replaced. Houses of this age reach a point where the fixtures, hardware, and finishes all come due within a few years of each other.
Why North Palm Beach Homeowners Call The Palm Beach Fixer
A mid-century house does not usually need a general contractor. It needs someone who can work through a list — the fan, the two faucets, the door that drags, the outlet that stopped working — in one visit, competently, without turning a maintenance day into a renovation.
That list-work is the core of what I do. I would rather knock out eleven items in a day than sell you a project you did not need. If something genuinely requires a permitted trade contractor, I will tell you that instead of improvising.
One visit, one list. Most North Palm Beach calls end up being six to twelve small items rather than one big job. Write the whole list down before I come out and we will get through it in a single trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on older mid-century homes?
Constantly — it is most of what North Palm Beach is. Block walls, original wiring runs, and aging supply lines all need a slightly different approach than new construction, and I plan for that rather than being surprised by it.
How much does a handyman cost in North Palm Beach?
Hourly is $87 to $125 depending on scope and access. Flat prices cover common work — $150 per ceiling fan, $50 to $75 per outlet or switch, bathroom faucets from $150, kitchen faucets from $250.
Can I give you a list of small jobs instead of one big one?
That is my favorite kind of call. A single visit covering ten small items is more efficient for both of us than ten separate trips, and it is how most North Palm Beach jobs actually go.
Do you install smart home devices in older houses?
Yes. Video doorbells, smart locks, thermostats, and hardwired cameras all go into mid-century homes fine — the wiring just needs checking first, which I do before quoting rather than after starting.
Are you insured?
Yes, The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured professional LLC, and I can provide a certificate of insurance where a community or association asks for one.
