Bathroom Remodel Handyman in Hialeah, FL

Handymen: Licensed to perform work valued at $2,500 or less per project in Florida. Cannot do structural changes, major plumbing/electrical relocations, or work requiring permits. Ideal for cosmetic updates, fixture replacements, and small repairs.

General Contractors: Hold state contractor licenses (CGC, CBC, or CRC). Can perform work of any value, pull permits, manage subcontractors, and handle structural/mechanical changes. Required for full bathroom gut jobs, layout changes, and major renovations.

Bottom line: If you're just replacing fixtures and refreshing finishes, a handyman is perfect (and cheaper). If you're moving walls or replumbing, you need a contractor.

Yes, a handyman can install a toilet as long as it's a direct replacement in the same location with no plumbing modifications. This is considered "minor repair" work under Florida law.

However, if your project involves moving the toilet to a new location, rerouting drain lines, or adding new plumbing rough-in, you'll need a licensed plumber or general contractor.

What we do: We partner with Florida-licensed plumbers when projects exceed handyman scope, ensuring full code compliance.

Budget refresh ($800-$1,200): Paint, new toilet, pedestal sink, mirror, and basic hardware.

Mid-range update ($1,200-$1,800): Add a small vanity (18-24"), upgraded faucet, tile backsplash, and better lighting.

Premium makeover ($1,800-$2,500): 30" vanity with quartz countertop, decorative tile work, designer fixtures, fresh drywall, and paint.

Key savings tip: Half bathrooms are small (typically 20-40 sq ft), so material costs are low. Labor is your main expense—keep the layout unchanged to maximize savings.

We offer both options:

Option 1 (most common): You purchase materials (vanity, toilet, faucets, tile, etc.) from Home Depot, Lowe's, or online retailers. We provide installation labor. This gives you maximum control over style and budget.

Option 2: We source and provide materials through our local supplier accounts. We add a small markup (10-15%) but handle all purchasing, delivery coordination, and warranty claims.

Our recommendation: If you're budget-conscious and enjoy shopping, buy your own materials. If you want a hands-off experience, let us handle it.

Important: If you buy your own materials, make sure they're the correct size and include all necessary parts (e.g., vanity tops, faucets with drain assemblies, wax rings for toilets).

Absolutely! Unlike full-scale renovations that make your home unlivable, handyman bathroom projects are fast and minimally disruptive.

Typical scenario: We work during business hours (8am-5pm), clean up thoroughly each day, and often have your bathroom functional by evening. For multi-day projects, we'll prioritize getting your toilet operational overnight.

Multi-bathroom homes: We can work on one bathroom at a time, ensuring you always have access to facilities.

Single-bathroom homes: We compress work into 1-2 days and schedule carefully to minimize downtime. Most homeowners can manage with a portable toilet rental ($75-$100/week) if needed.

We'll be upfront about it. If your project exceeds the $2,500 handyman threshold, we have two options:

Option 1: Phase the work into multiple separate projects under $2,500 each (e.g., Phase 1: Vanity and toilet; Phase 2: Painting and tile work). This keeps you compliant with Florida handyman laws.

Option 2: We partner with a licensed general contractor to handle the project legally. You get the same quality work, but the contractor pulls permits and takes legal responsibility for the job.

What we won't do: We will never illegally perform work that requires a contractor license. It's not worth the legal risk for you or us.

Yes! We stand behind every job we complete:

• Workmanship warranty: 1 year on all labor. If installation issues arise (leaks, loose fixtures, improper fit), we fix them at no charge.
• Manufacturer warranties: Fixtures and materials carry their own warranties (typically 1-10 years depending on brand). We help you file claims if issues arise.
• Satisfaction guarantee: If you're not happy with the quality of our work, we'll make it right—no questions asked.

Note: Warranties do not cover damage from abuse, neglect, or modifications made by others after our work is complete.

We get it—plans change. Here's our fair cancellation policy:

Before work starts: Cancel or reschedule anytime with at least 24 hours' notice—no fees.

Same-day cancellation: $75 service call fee (covers our travel time and lost scheduling).

After work begins: You pay for work completed to that point, plus any materials we've already purchased on your behalf.

Material restocking: If we purchased materials specifically for your job, you may be responsible for restocking fees (typically 15-20% from suppliers).

Yes, by appointment. We understand many homeowners work Monday-Friday and prefer weekend service. We offer Saturday appointments (limited availability) for an additional $50 weekend service fee.

Sunday service: Not typically available, but we'll make exceptions for urgent repairs (leaks, broken toilets, etc.).

Best practice: Book weekday appointments if your schedule allows—you'll avoid the weekend fee and have more time slots to choose from.

Minimal prep needed—we handle most of it! Here's what helps:

• Clear the area: Remove toiletries, towels, rugs, and shower curtains from the work zone.
• Provide access: Ensure we can get to the bathroom easily (clear hallways, unlock gates if applicable).
• Protect valuables: Move any breakable décor or wall art from the bathroom.
• Turn off water (if you know how): Locate your main water shutoff valve in case we need to cut water temporarily.
• Have materials ready: If you purchased fixtures, have them unboxed and inspected for damage before our arrival.

What we handle: Demo, dust protection, tool setup, material transport, and complete cleanup before we leave.
