What this covers
Perdido Key · Escambia County, Florida
The island is hard on houses. That is the whole job.
Salt, sand and wind take a run at every door, deck and painted surface out here. Perdido Handyman handles the repairs and small work that keep a Gulf Coast property from falling behind — on the key, across the bridge, and over the line into Orange Beach.

Repair and maintenance work, not remodels.

What this covers
Why this island is different
Most of the work here traces back to three things.
A house in Pensacola and a condo on Perdido Key Drive fail in completely different ways. The difference is not the building. It is what the building sits in.
- Salt. Fasteners corrode from the inside out. A deck screw can look fine and have nothing left in the middle of it.
- Sand. It gets into slider tracks, grinds the rollers flat, and turns a door that glided into one that takes two hands.
- Absence. Second homes and rentals sit empty for stretches. Small problems get found late, by a guest, on a Friday.
The short version
How a request works
- You send the list and, ideally, photos.
- You get a scope and a number back, in writing, before anything starts.
- If part of it needs a licensed trade, you are told which part and why.
- Work gets done in one visit where the list allows it.
- You get photos of the finished work, whether or not you were on site.
Coverage
Perdido Key first, then everything a short run from the bridge.
The key is the center of the service area. Innerarity Point, Ono Island, Big Lagoon and Orange Beach are routine. Gulf Shores and Lillian are the outer edge and work best as planned visits.
Common questions
Do you work on condos, or only houses?
Both. A large share of the work here is in condo buildings along Perdido Key Drive and in Orange Beach. Tell us the building name in your request so access, elevator scheduling and any association requirements get sorted before the visit rather than at the door.
I do not live here. Can you handle a job while I am out of state?
Yes, and it is common on the key. We work from photos and a description, confirm the scope with you before starting, and send photos of the finished work. Access is arranged through whoever holds a key, whether that is your cleaner, your property manager or a lockbox.
What will not be taken on?
Anything Florida or Alabama requires a licensed contractor for. That means electrical, plumbing beyond a fixture swap, HVAC, roofing, structural work, window and door replacement, and anything needing a permit. If a request turns out to fall in that category, we say so and point you toward the right trade rather than doing it anyway.
How does pricing work?
There is no calculator on this site because a range guessed from a form is usually wrong. Small jobs are quoted flat once we see photos. Longer or multi-item lists are quoted by the visit. Either way the number comes before the work, not after.
Can you batch a list of small items into one visit?
That is the preferred way to work, especially for second homes and rentals. Send the whole list rather than the most urgent item. One visit that clears eight things costs less than three visits that clear one each.
How far do you go?
Perdido Key is the center. Innerarity Point, Ono Island, Big Lagoon, west Pensacola and Orange Beach are routine. Gulf Shores and Lillian are the outer edge and work best as scheduled visits rather than same-day calls.
What about work before or after a storm?
Shutter checks, panel fitting and securing loose exterior trim are all better done in May than in a watch. After a storm, screens, fences, soffit, trim and decking are the usual list. Roof and structural damage goes to a licensed contractor and your insurer.
How fast do you respond?
Requests sent through this site are answered the same day during working hours, and first thing the next morning if they come in overnight or on a Sunday.
Send your list
Photos help more than anything else. Send the whole list, not just the most urgent item, and you get one quote and one visit instead of three.
