Handyman in St. Augustine Shores
Locally-owned handyman service · Licensed, bonded, insured · 45-minute drive from HQ
St Johns Handyman serves St. Augustine Shores, an established unincorporated community of about 7,400 residents south of St. Augustine, off US-1 and SR-3 (Shores Boulevard). The Shores is a planned development dating to the late 1960s built around lakes and golf, with most homes in the 1970s-1990s range. We are licensed, bonded, insured and we do not charge a call-out fee. Typical drive time from our Ponte Vedra Beach HQ is about 45 minutes south on A1A and US-1. Call (904) 871-5791.
Jobs we see often in St. Augustine Shores
St. Augustine Shores homes are mostly 30-50 years old. The dominant job pattern is what we call 'second-owner refresh' — homes bought in the last 5-10 years from original owners that need everything tired updated at once. Common Shores jobs: interior repaints across multiple rooms, kitchen cabinet hardware swaps, door rehangs, vinyl plank install over original tile, fence-panel replacement, exterior trim refresh. We see less coastal-wear here than at Vilano Beach or St. Augustine Beach because the Shores sits inland a few miles from the ocean.
What “second-owner refresh” actually means
The dominant pattern we see in St. Augustine Shores is homes that were owned by one family for 30-40 years, then sold to a new owner in the last 5-10 years. The new owner inherits a structurally-sound home that needs everything tired refreshed. Paint, cabinet hardware, light fixtures, faucets, door alignment, fence panels.
We typically handle this in 3-5 visits spread over a few months, working room by room or system by system. That keeps the home livable while the work is happening.
Where in St. Augustine Shores we work most
- The Shores Boulevard core — established 1970s-1980s homes.
- The lake-adjacent neighborhoods — some drainage and irrigation-driven moisture work.
- The newer Shores expansion (1990s-2000s) — east of the original development. Less work needed; mostly cosmetic.
- The golf-course-adjacent streets — some grade-driven exterior wood wear.
What we don’t usually take here
Major remodels, full historic-home-style restoration, work that needs permits. The Shores housing stock is solid and most jobs are firmly in handyman scope.

St. Augustine Shores — questions we get a lot
How fast can you get to St. Augustine Shores?
About 45 minutes from our Ponte Vedra Beach HQ. We batch St. Augustine-area work — the Shores rides along with St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach jobs on the same route days. Non-emergency, 5-7 days out is typical.
Do you charge a travel fee for St. Augustine Shores?
For most work, no. Very small jobs under $200 that don't justify the 45-minute drive may carry a $25-$50 travel addition we tell you about upfront. Larger jobs and packaged multi-task visits cover the drive fine.
What's the most common job you do in St. Augustine Shores?
Interior repaints — the Shores has a lot of 1980s-1990s homes with the original beige still on the walls. New owners come in and want a refresh across multiple rooms. We typically quote a per-room price and work room-by-room over 3-5 visits.
Are you familiar with the Shores HOA rules?
Most of St. Augustine Shores has a master association plus sub-HOAs by section. Standard exterior-paint and fence color approvals are required. We carry the documentation packet and help you file.
Do you work in the Marsh Creek area south of the Shores?
Marsh Creek (just south, separate community off SR-A1A) is in our service area but on a longer drive. We quote it similarly to the Shores.
Can you handle the original tile floors common in older Shores homes?
Yes for repair — replace cracked tiles where matched stock is available. For new-flooring installs, most Shores homeowners go to luxury vinyl plank over the existing tile. We do both the prep and the install.
