Handyman help for Poinciana’s newest homes
Poinciana is one of the fastest-growing communities in Florida — most of its homes are still under warranty-adjacent punch-list work, not decades of wear. We handle the small fixes a new house collects: drywall touch-ups, sticking doors, TV mounts, gutter cleaning, deck and fence repair, caulking, and paint touch-ups. Never electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or roofing — those stay with their own licensed trade.
What a new Poinciana home usually needs
- Trim, baseboard, and paint touch-ups after the first year of settling
- Fixture and shelving installs the builder never included
- TV mounting, done once, done level
- Gutter cleaning before the summer storms back water up
- Deck board and fence post fixes on newer wood, not decades-old rot
What we handle — and what we don’t
Drywall Repair & Patching
Nail pops, hairline cracks, and picture-hook holes patched and blended smooth before you paint.
Doors & Windows
Sticking doors, misaligned strike plates, and window tracks adjusted so they open, close, and lock the way a new house should.
Deck & Fence Repair
Loose deck boards, leaning fence posts, and gate hardware fixed on the deck and fence you already have.
TV Mounting
Flat-screen TVs mounted level and secure, studs found the first time, cables run clean.
Gutter Cleaning
Leaves and storm debris cleared before Central Florida's rainy season backs water up under your roofline.
Caulking & Weatherproofing
Fresh caulk at windows, doors, and trim joints, where a new house's first-year settling shows up.
Painting Touch-Ups
Scuffs, nail holes, and builder-grade white matched and blended, room by room.
Move-In Punch List
One visit, one list: the small fixes a new Poinciana home collects in its first year, handled in a single trip.
We never advertise electrical, plumbing, HVAC/AC, or roofing work. Those are separately licensed trades in Florida regardless of job size — see the licensing guide.
A community still being built, not one wearing out
Neighborhood-level records found for this site show median build years mostly in the low-to-mid 2000s, with active construction in places like Stepping Stone as recently as 2024. That skews the work toward fixture installs, TV mounts, and trim touch-ups — not the decades-of-wear repair mix an older Florida suburb needs.

Questions Poinciana homeowners actually ask
How much does drywall repair cost?
Small nail-pop and picture-hook holes typically run $75–$150. A medium 5–12 inch patch runs $150–$350, and a full section of drywall runs $400–$800 or more. Researched 2026 market ranges, not a quote — see the cost guide for the full breakdown.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
A single cleaning typically runs $175–$450 depending on the home's height and how much debris has built up, with two-story homes and heavy tree cover pushing toward the top of that range.
How often should you clean your gutters?
Most Central Florida guidance calls for at least twice a year — before the June–October wet season and again after hurricane season — with three or four cleanings a year under heavy oak or pine cover.
How much does it cost to mount a TV?
Professional mounting on drywall typically runs about $129 for TVs up to 54 inches, up to roughly $255 for 80 inches and larger, including finding the studs and basic cable management.
How much does baseboard installation cost?
Baseboard and trim installation typically runs $6–$9 per linear foot, or roughly $400–$1,500 for a full room, with most installers carrying a $150–$300 minimum for small jobs.
Do I need a permit to build or replace a fence?
In Osceola County, yes — fences are on the county's residential permit list. Starting July 1, 2026, Florida's new HB 803 exempts most single-family residential work under $7,500 from needing a permit, unless the property sits in a flood hazard area. See the licensing guide for what that does and doesn't cover.
How to fix a leaning fence post
A leaning post that isn't rotted can often be straightened and braced in place with a metal repair spike. A post that's soft or dark at ground level — test it with a screwdriver — needs to come out and be replaced instead.
Fence repair or replace: how do you know which one you need?
One or two bad posts or boards is usually a repair. Multiple rotted posts, widespread leaning, or a fence past its expected lifespan for the material usually means replacement costs less in the long run than repeated patch jobs.
How much does deck repair cost?
Deck repair jobs typically run $800–$3,500 depending on how many boards, joists, or posts need replacing. This is a broad researched range, not a fixed price — see the cost guide for what we could and couldn't verify.
