Everybody knows somebody who "has a guy." This is that guy, in directory form: 28 Broward County handymen pulled from real Google listings, kept only if they rate 4.0 stars or better with at least 5 reviews. Search your ZIP, pick one, call him yourself.
Covers 28 listed handymen across 5 Broward County cities in this preview.
Start with your city. Each city page lists the handymen based there, their Google ratings and review counts, and the local jobs they get called for.
1. Search your ZIP. The search checks the exact ZIP first, then the city that ZIP belongs to.
2. Compare real numbers. Ratings and review counts on this site come straight from each business's Google listing — nothing is averaged, boosted or invented, and no business pays to change its rating.
3. Call the handyman directly. The phone number and website on each listing are the business's own, from its Google listing. You deal with him, not with a call center.
Coastal Broward is hard on houses. Salt air eats door hardware and sliding-door rollers, summer storms leave drywall stains and swollen doors, and condos from Deerfield Beach to Hollywood run a constant churn of rental turn-overs and pre-sale punch lists. The everyday list looks like this: drywall patches, doors that won't latch, ceiling fans and light fixtures, TV mounting, faucet and toilet-part swaps, screen repair, furniture assembly, grab bars, caulking, and small paint jobs. That is handyman work — one visit, a cleared list.
The line matters, though. Florida law reserves electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, roofing and structural work for state-licensed contractors. A good handyman will tell you when a job crosses that line instead of taking it anyway. If someone offers to rewire your panel or move a drain line as "handyman work," that is your sign to call a licensed contractor instead.
Ask three questions on the first call: What is the price — hourly, per task, or a flat quote for the list? Are you insured, and can you send the certificate if my condo association asks? When can you come, and how long will the list take? Write down the answers. For anything over a small fix, get the scope and price in writing before work starts, and ask who handles any permit the job might need — never assume it is included.
Type your ZIP code into the search box. You get the handymen listed near that ZIP, with their real Google rating, review count, phone number and website. You call the business directly — this directory does not take a cut of your job or route your call.
Every business here came from a public Google business listing for handyman services in Broward County and cleared two bars: a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 5 Google reviews. This preview lists 28 of them across 5 cities.
No. Searching and calling a listed handyman is free. You pay the handyman you hire, at the price you agree with him directly.
Drywall patches, door and hardware repair, TV mounting, fixture and ceiling-fan swaps, furniture assembly, screen repair, small paint jobs and the general to-do list. Bigger or licensed trades work — a rewire, a repipe, a new AC, a roof — belongs with a licensed contractor.
Florida has no state handyman license, so there is no license number to check for general handyman work. Florida does reserve electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, roofing and structural work for state-licensed contractors. Ask any handyman to stay on the right side of that line, and ask for proof of insurance.
This is the first county rolled out, built from Google listings in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Davie and Deerfield Beach. More South Florida coverage is planned, but nothing here lists a business we have not pulled from a real Google listing.
Use the contact page. Basic listings come from public Google business data; if your Google listing shows a rating of 4.0 or higher with at least 5 reviews and you are based in Broward County, you belong in the data pull.
Yes — for anything beyond a one-hour fix, get the scope and the price in writing before work starts, and ask who is responsible for any permit the job might need. Small jobs are often priced by the hour or by the task; larger punch lists are usually a flat quote.
