For active emergencies — water leaks, broken windows, storm damage, lock-outs, lost keys — we answer the phone day and night at (904) 871-5791. Emergency response carries a $75 surcharge on top of the underlying job cost. For non-emergency repairs, please book during regular hours. We do not charge a call-out fee for the estimate.

What we do

Common emergency handyman jobs we take

Water leak

Shut off, contain, document, repair where possible. Bigger plumbing we'll escalate to a licensed plumber.

Tarp the leak, board the opening, secure the hazard. Permanent repair scheduled for next day.

Broken window

Board the opening tonight, schedule permanent glass replacement for the morning. Standard residential glass.

Lock-out & lock failure

Door won't lock, won't open, deadbolt broken. We swap the lock or pick the latch (with proof of residence).

Electrical emergency

Outlets that spark, breakers that won't reset, fixtures that smoke. We diagnose and de-energize; full repair may need an electrician.

Active leak from above

Ceiling sagging from water above, drips through fixtures. Contain, drain, document. Drywall repair scheduled for next day.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Call or text

    Tell us what's wrong in a sentence — phone or a quick text with a photo.

  2. 2

    On-site estimate

    We come out, look at the job, and quote you a firm price. No call-out fee.

  3. 3

    Done

    Most jobs in this category are completed in a single visit. We clean up before we leave.

When to call

If water is actively entering your home, or your home is exposed to weather, or someone could get hurt — call. (904) 871-5791. Don’t wait for business hours. We’d rather come out and tell you it’s nothing than have you wake up to a swollen ceiling.

What we can’t do at 2 AM

Major plumbing inside the wall, electrical panel work, full roof replacement, structural framing — those need a licensed specialist and that specialist needs daylight. What we can do at 2 AM is shut off the water, tarp the roof, board the window, and document everything so the morning fix is straightforward.

What's in a quote

Honest line items. No mystery fees.

Here's exactly how we put a quote together for a typical small repair. Tap any row to see what each line covers.

  • Labor $180 3 hrs × $60/hr

    We charge a per-job rate when we can. When the scope is open-ended, we charge $60/hour per technician. We always tell you which it is before we start so you can decide.

  • Materials $42 drywall, primer, fasteners

    We pass through our cost on materials at no markup. Receipts on request. Anything we already have on the truck — patch kits, common fasteners — is included in labor at no extra charge.

  • Dump / disposal $25 haul-away of debris

    If the job creates more than a kitchen trash bag of waste, we add a small disposal fee. Smaller jobs are included in labor. For very large jobs (full room demos), a dumpster rental gets quoted separately.

  • Workmanship coverage $10 12-month workmanship coverage

    A small per-job amount that funds our 12-month workmanship coverage. If a covered workmanship issue comes up within 12 months of completion, we'll come back and make it right at no extra labor charge — see our Terms of Service for what's covered and what isn't.

  • Cleanup included drop cloths, vacuum, wipe

    Drop cloths, dust containment, vacuum, wipe — always included in labor, never a separate line. We leave the room cleaner than we found it.

  • Trip / service fee $0 no call-out or trip fee

    We do not charge a call-out fee or trip fee. The drive is on us. For very far jobs outside our standard service area (Hastings, parts of southwest St. Johns County) we may quote a small travel addition — we tell you about it upfront, never in the invoice.

Frequently asked

Emergency handyman — questions we get a lot

What counts as an emergency?

Active leaks, storm damage with water actively coming in, broken windows or doors that leave the house unsecured, electrical issues with sparking or smoke, and lock-outs. If it can wait until 8 AM, please book it for regular hours.

How much extra is emergency service?

$75 surcharge on top of the underlying repair cost. For example, a $200 water-shutoff repair done at 10 PM is $275. There's no surcharge during business hours, even for same-day urgent calls.

How fast can you actually be there?

During business hours, often inside an hour. After hours, typically within 2–3 hours of the call. We're driving from Ponte Vedra Beach, so travel time depends on where you are in the county.

Do you do emergencies on holidays?

Yes. Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving — we answer the emergency line every day of the year.

Do you take insurance for emergency work?

Yes. We can invoice your homeowners' insurance directly for emergency work in most cases, with your authorization. We document time-stamped photos from arrival.

What if it's actually beyond what a handyman can fix?

We'll tell you that on the phone. Some emergencies — burst supply lines, electrical panel fires, structural failures — need a licensed specialist. We'll help you find one and we can be on-site to secure the property in the meantime.
