The streets around the University of Miami are classic Coral Gables: Mediterranean Revival and mid-century homes on quiet, tree-lined blocks, plus townhomes and condos that often house faculty and graduate students. Coral Gables is known for keeping high standards on how properties look, so repairs here need to be done cleanly — patched walls that actually disappear, paint that matches, hardware that fits the house.

Common projects include drywall and stucco touch-ups, interior painting, fixture upgrades, furniture assembly for move-ins, and small plumbing repairs in older bathrooms. We are insured, rated 4.9 stars across 212 reviews, and we have handled more than 2,000 jobs across Miami since 2023. For larger work that needs city permits, we will tell you up front.

Local note: Mediterranean Revival and mid-century single-family homes on tree-lined streets, plus townhomes and condos near the University of Miami.

Frequently Asked Questions — Coral Gables — University Area (33146)

Does handyman work in Coral Gables require a permit?

Routine repairs like painting, drywall patching, fixture swaps, and furniture assembly do not. Coral Gables does regulate exterior changes and larger alterations strictly, so if your project crosses into permit territory we will say so before starting rather than risk a violation.

Can you help with a move-in near the University of Miami?

Yes — furniture assembly, TV mounting, shelving, curtain rods, and small repairs are our standard move-in package in 33146. We can usually complete a full apartment or house setup in a single visit. Call (786) 788-8714 to schedule around your move date.

Will the wall patch match my existing texture and paint?

That is the goal on every job. We match texture, prime, and feather the paint so the repair blends in. If your paint is older and faded, we will tell you honestly whether a full-wall repaint will look better than a spot touch-up.

Do you work in condos with building rules?

Yes. We follow association requirements, provide insurance certificates when the building asks, and schedule within allowed work hours. Many of our university-area jobs are in managed buildings, so the paperwork side is routine for us.

My AC unit is dripping water; can you look at it?

Yes, we can troubleshoot common AC drainage issues. Often, it's a clogged condensate line, which we can clear to prevent water damage and restore proper function.

Do you handle small landscaping fixes like sprinkler head repairs?

Absolutely. We can repair or replace broken sprinkler heads, adjust coverage, and address minor irrigation system issues to keep your Mediterranean Revival garden looking its best.

Can you help with minor repairs for my rental property near UM?

Yes, we frequently assist landlords with small repairs and maintenance tasks for their rental units, including patching drywall, fixing leaky faucets, or addressing general wear and tear before new tenants move in.

My mid-century home's screen door needs re-screening. Is that something you do?

Absolutely. We can re-screen damaged or worn screen doors and windows, a common request for homes in the area, helping to keep out insects while allowing fresh air in.
