Handyman after moving to Florida: first-week essentials
Boxes, IKEA and holes from the last tenant. Who to call and how not to overpay.
Week one
Hang blinds, build the bed, mount garage shelves — life sucks without it and you don't have time.
Immigrant pattern: hunt a cheap guy in a chat group. Works until it doesn't. One vetted service beats roulette.
Fix Terrier
Fix Terrier handles home handyman work: small repairs, mounting, assembly. Show up, fix, leave — not a three-month project.
Major remodels (kitchen, roof) need a licensed contractor. Handyman covers what doesn't need a permit.
How to book
Task list with photos and dimensions. Clear scope = fair price. "Make it nice" = expensive and vague.
