Handyman on Singer Island, FL
Condo-tower work is its own trade. Certificates of insurance, service elevator windows, concrete walls, and salt air that eats everything.
The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured, owner-operated handyman service covering Singer Island and Palm Beach Shores. I handle in-unit fixture replacement, ceiling fans and lighting, faucets and disposals, concrete-wall TV mounting, and smart home installation in the island’s oceanfront and Intracoastal condo buildings — with a certificate of insurance provided to your association before I arrive.
Singer Island is split between two governments: most of the island falls under the City of Riviera Beach, while the southern tip is the separate Town of Palm Beach Shores. I work both. If you are on the mainland instead, see Riviera Beach.
Handyman Services on Singer Island
Almost everything here happens inside a building with rules. The work is precise, the access is scheduled, and the hardware has to survive a block from open ocean.
In-Unit Fixture Work
Fans, lights, faucets, disposals and shower trim — the jobs building maintenance will not take on.
Concrete-Wall Mounting
TVs, art and shelving into poured concrete and block, with masonry anchors rather than drywall hardware.
Coastal Hardware Replacement
Seized hinges, corroded fasteners and pitted finishes, replaced with parts rated for salt exposure.
Balcony & Slider Hardware
Slider rollers, latches and locks that have taken years of salt and stopped moving.
Smart Home & Locks
Smart locks, thermostats and cameras — useful when a unit sits empty half the year.
Seasonal Punch Lists
Open-up and close-down lists so an unoccupied unit does not accumulate problems.
Buildings and Areas I Cover
I work the length of the island, from the Palm Beach Inlet north through the oceanfront towers to the Riviera Beach line.
Singer Island is dominated by oceanfront and Intracoastal condo towers, a good share of them built in the 1970s and 80s with newer construction layered in since. The buildings are concrete. The air is salt. Fixtures, hinges and hardware simply do not last here the way they would two miles inland, and a drywall anchor is useless in a poured concrete wall.
Why Singer Island Homeowners Call The Palm Beach Fixer
Getting into a Singer Island building is half the job. Most towers want a certificate of insurance naming the association on file before a contractor is admitted, plus a booked service elevator and an approved work window. I handle that with management directly so you are not chasing your own handyman through the front desk.
The other half is specifying for the environment. Standard interior hardware fails fast this close to the water. I replace with parts rated for coastal exposure so you are not booking the identical repair again next season.
Tell me your building and I will handle the paperwork. Certificate of insurance to your management office, service elevator booked, work inside approved hours. That part is on me, not you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide a certificate of insurance for my building?
Yes. The Palm Beach Fixer is an insured professional LLC and I can provide a COI naming your association or building. Send me the management contact and requirements and I will get it over before the appointment.
Can you mount a TV on a concrete condo wall?
Yes. Poured concrete and block need masonry anchors and the right bit — drywall hardware will not hold and will damage the wall. It is one of the most common jobs I do on the island.
Is Singer Island in Riviera Beach or Palm Beach Shores?
Both. Most of the island is governed by the City of Riviera Beach; the southern tip is the separate Town of Palm Beach Shores. I serve the whole island either way.
My slider will not move. Can that be fixed?
Usually. Salt and grit destroy slider rollers and tracks, and most of the time it is a roller and track cleaning or replacement rather than a new door. I will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.
How much does a handyman cost on Singer Island?
Hourly runs $87 to $125 depending on scope and building access. Flat prices cover 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.
