Flooring in San Marco
Squeaks, lifted boards, transition strips, vinyl plank installs. Hardwood and tile too.
St Johns Handyman is a locally-owned handyman service based in Ponte Vedra Beach. We've been handling flooring work across St. Johns County since 2010. San Marco is one of our most-served towns — about 32 minutes from our HQ.
San Marco homes often have original hardwood under decades of carpet — exposing and refinishing original boards is one of the highest-ROI improvements. We handle the prep work (carpet removal, tack-strip removal, transition adjustments); refinishing itself is specialty trade we refer out. We also handle tile regrout and individual board repair on exposed sections.
Common San Marco flooring jobs: carpet removal and hardwood prep for specialist refinish, transition-strip work after refinish completes, individual board replacement in heavily damaged sections, and tile regrout in original kitchens and baths.
What we typically do in San Marco
San Marco's 1920s–1960s housing stock dictates a specific job mix that mirrors what we do in Davis Shores: plaster patching and skim work on original walls, original wood-window glazing and weatherproofing, settled-door rehangs on 90-year-old frames, interior repaint on multi-coat existing surfaces, original-era fixture replacement, baseboard and crown molding repair after decades of settling, and weatherstripping replacements on doors that have shrunk over time. We work within the COA scope for visible exterior changes. We do not do museum-grade historic preservation, lead-paint abatement, or hurricane-impact full window installs in the historic district (specialty restoration territory).

Questions homeowners in San Marco ask about flooring
How much does flooring cost in San Marco?
Most flooring jobs in San Marco run $200–$800. Pricing depends on material, square footage, subfloor condition, transition strips needed. We give a firm written quote before any work starts — no call-out fee, no surprise bills.
Do you charge a travel fee for San Marco?
No. San Marco is within our standard service area — about 32 minutes from our Ponte Vedra Beach HQ. No travel fee.
Do you work on historic 1920s San Marco homes?
Yes — within handyman scope. Plaster patching, paint, settled-door rehangs, weatherproofing on original wood windows, interior repaint, fixture replacement, baseboard repair. We use bonding agent and veneer plaster for plaster repair rather than dryalling over original walls (which destroys historic character). Museum-grade preservation of original Mediterranean Revival details (custom tile restoration, historic mullion replacement) is specialty trade and we refer out.
What about the Certificate of Appropriateness?
Visible exterior changes — windows, siding, fencing, sheds, additions — require a COA from the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission. Interior work and most non-visible exterior maintenance is unaffected. We tell you on the quote whether your job needs a COA BEFORE we book. For COA-required work we provide the documentation packet the HP commission requests.
Can you fix a squeaky floor without pulling it up?
Usually yes — most squeaks we can stop from above using specialty screws that drop below the surface. We pull boards only if the squeak is from a major subfloor issue.
Do you install LVP / luxury vinyl plank?
Yes. Full installs over an existing subfloor, including underlayment, transitions, and quarter-round. Quoted per square foot.
