Gold Hands offers Airbnb and short-term rental maintenance in Miami, FL — we handle the handyman side of hosting so your cleaners can stay on schedule. That means lock changes, smart-lock installs, wear-and-tear fixes and a punch-list pass before check-in. Same-day is available for morning bookings between guests. Quotes come from photos sent by text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714.

Hosts in Miami usually find us after a bad turnover: a guest reported something broken at midnight, the regular handyman could not come until next week, and the next arrival is tomorrow afternoon. We cannot promise every slot, but we do put between-guest calls ahead of routine work, and a morning booking is often finished the same day.

The fastest quotes come from good photos. Shoot the whole fixture, then the part that failed, and if it is a lock or a faucet, a picture of any brand label you can find. Add rough measurements for anything that needs replacing, like a blind or a shower rod. Send it all by text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714, in English or Spanish.

Upkeep for vintage homes used as rentals

Across Little Havana, Allapattah, Flagami and Coral Way, much of the housing is 1940s-to-1970s concrete-block homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings with plaster interiors, next to newer lofts and condos in Wynwood.

If the rental is a cottage, a garage apartment or one side of an older duplex, the small mechanical things wear first: old door hardware, sash windows that will not stay up, screen doors that slam, and bathroom fans that were added decades after the house was built. We replace and adjust them so the unit closes, locks and ventilates the way a guest expects it to.

Short-term rental rules for houses, accessory units and duplexes vary by city and by neighborhood association, so check your own requirements before you list. On our side, we keep notes on each older house we work on in Miami, including where the shutoff valves are, which lock cylinders and hinge sizes fit, and the paint colors used, so the next call starts with the right parts.

Repairs we handle for Miami rental hosts

These are the items cleaning crews and guests flag most often, and the ones we can usually fix in one visit.

Investor units and frequent turnovers in Miami

When reviews start to mention broken things, the cost is more than the repair itself. A recurring check catches loose handles, slow drains, peeling caulk, wobbly furniture and dead detector batteries before a guest finds them. For managers with several properties, we can rotate through units on a set schedule and still take urgent calls in between when something breaks.

We do not handle cleaning, linens or guest messaging; those stay with your team. What we take off your plate is the repair list, from small fixes to replacing a damaged door or a broken vanity top, with a written record and photos for each unit, so you can see what was done, when, and what is likely to need attention next.

How a between-guest repair works

  1. Text or WhatsApp photos of each problem to (786) 788-8714, with rough measurements of anything that needs replacing. We quote from what you send; a paid site visit can be arranged if photos are not enough.
  2. We confirm the scope and the visit time in writing, with the list of items, the price for each, and anything we need you to buy or approve first.
  3. Access and timing: tell us your checkout and check-in window and how we get in, whether by lockbox, a code you set for us, the front desk or someone on site.
  4. We arrive with the parts for the job, do the repairs, and leave the unit as we found it, minus the problem. Packaging and old parts go with us.
  5. You get a short report with before-and-after photos and a note on anything we saw that will need attention later, so you can plan ahead.

How fast can you get there between guests

Recurring arrangements are the most predictable. When we visit your units on a set schedule, small problems get fixed before guests find them, and urgent calls between visits are quicker because we already know the unit, its lock models and where the shutoff valves are. Each visit ends with a short photo report, so you have a running record of each unit's condition. For multi-unit hosts and property managers, that arrangement is priced directly.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Maintenance in Miami — questions we get asked

Can you maintain a guest house or in-law suite we rent out?

Yes. Guest houses and separate-entrance suites need the same care as any rental, plus attention to path lighting, exterior doors and screens. We do walkthroughs before each new stay, fix what we find and send photos. Whether a guest house can be rented, and for how long, depends on your city and any association, so confirm that first.

Are short-term rentals allowed in my community?

That depends on your city and on your association's documents, and the answer differs from one community to the next. Many associations restrict nightly rentals or set minimum lease lengths. Check your own documents and your city's requirements before listing. We do not interpret those rules; we maintain the unit for whatever kind of rental you are permitted to run.

Do you do cleaning, linens or guest messaging?

No. We are a handyman service, so we handle repairs, installs and walkthroughs. Cleaning, laundry and linen service, restocking supplies and communicating with guests stay with you, your co-host or your cleaning team. We coordinate with your cleaners so our visit fits their schedule, and we leave the area tidy after the repair.

Can you work while guests are staying in the unit?

We can, if you arrange it with the guest first. Some fixes cannot wait, like a lock that will not open or a toilet that will not stop running. You tell the guest when we are coming; we arrive in the agreed window, keep the visit short and quiet, and send you photos when it is done. We do not contact guests on your behalf.

Does any of this work need a permit?

Most between-guest repairs, like locks, fixtures, furniture, caulk and small installs, do not. Work that moves or adds plumbing, electrical or structural elements does, and it is handled through our general contractor partner with the City of Miami building department, or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated addresses such as Westchester and Tamiami. If we find a problem that crosses that line during a repair visit, we tell you before doing anything.
