Handyman in Palm Beach, FL
Estate and condo work on the island, done to a standard that holds up to a property manager’s walkthrough.
The Palm Beach Fixer provides insured, owner-operated handyman service to the Town of Palm Beach — fixture replacement, carpentry, mounting, smart home installation, and the ongoing small repairs that estate homes and oceanfront condos need constantly. I am based across the bridge in West Palm Beach, which puts the island a short drive away.
Handyman Services in Palm Beach
Island properties tend to need precision more than volume. The list is short, the standard is high, and the finish matters as much as the function.
Fixture Replacement
Designer lighting, sconces, chandeliers, and plumbing fixtures installed without marking the wall or the finish.
Art & Mirror Hanging
Heavy pieces hung level and secure, on plaster, masonry, or drywall, with the right anchor for the wall.
Finish Carpentry
Trim, cabinetry adjustments, closet systems, doors that need to swing true in a humid climate.
Smart Home & AV
Smart locks, thermostats, hardwired cameras, video doorbells, and clean TV installs with concealed cable.
Seasonal Property Checks
Punch lists before you arrive and after you leave — the small things that pile up in an empty house.
Punch-List Work
The running list an estate manager keeps. One visit, multiple items, one invoice.
Neighborhoods We Cover in Palm Beach
I work the length of the island, from the North End down through the South End, including the condo corridors along South Ocean Boulevard.
Palm Beach properties split between historic estate homes with plaster, masonry, and original millwork, and mid-century-through-modern condo towers where every job runs through building management. Both need someone who shows up when they said they would, protects the floors, and cleans up like they were never there.
Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call The Palm Beach Fixer
Working on the island is as much about conduct as it is about craft. Service entrances, elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, quiet hours, and a property manager who has seen every kind of contractor there is. I take that seriously, because being easy to work with is why people call the same person back.
Discretion is part of the job. I do not photograph client properties without permission, I do not discuss one client with another, and what happens inside your house is not content. If you want work documented for your records, I will document it for you.
Certificates of insurance on request. Most Palm Beach buildings require a COI naming the association before a contractor is allowed up the service elevator. Ask and I will have it to your management office before the appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you carry insurance for Palm Beach condo buildings?
Yes. The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured professional LLC, and I can provide a certificate of insurance naming your building or association before the job. Most towers require it and I am used to the process.
Can you work around a seasonal schedule?
Yes, and a lot of my island work is exactly that. I handle punch lists before an owner arrives for the season and after they leave, so the house is ready when you are and does not sit with small problems getting bigger.
How much does handyman work cost in Palm Beach?
Hourly runs $87 to $125 depending on the scope and access. Fixed prices apply to common work — $150 per ceiling fan, $50 to $75 per outlet or switch, bathroom faucets from $150, kitchen faucets from $250. Anything substantial gets a written estimate before it starts.
Will you hang heavy art and mirrors?
Yes, and it is a regular request here. Plaster and masonry walls need a different anchor than drywall, and heavy pieces need to be secured to something real. I bring the right hardware rather than hoping a picture hook holds.
Do you do permit-required work?
No. Panel changes, re-pipes, and structural work require a permitted trade contractor, and I will tell you that up front rather than taking on something I should not.
