Kendall handyman work covers a big, varied area. Kendall is not a city: it is an unincorporated part of Miami-Dade County, named for Henry John Broughton Kendall of the Florida Land and Mortgage Company, and it grew from east to west — 1950s houses near US-1 and Pinecrest first, then subdivisions, townhomes and condo communities spreading west toward the Turnpike through the 1970s–90s. Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street), Dadeland and Baptist Hospital are the usual reference points. Gold Hands books 33176 (Kendall South), 33173 (Kendall Sunset), 33186 (Kendall West), nearby 33185 (West Kendall North), and 33156 (Pinecrest) on the published general-handyman menu. HQ is at 200 Pembroke Road, Hallandale Beach, FL 33008 — same menu county-wide.

Why Kendall jobs book differently
- County permits — because Kendall is unincorporated, building permits go through Miami-Dade County rather than a city or village hall. We handle non-permit handyman work and say so when a job needs a permit and a licensed trade.
- Older block houses — many 1950s–80s homes are concrete block with plaster or furred drywall on the exterior walls; heavy mounts there need masonry anchors, not hollow-wall toggles.
- Mixed ages on one street — Hurricane Andrew badly damaged Kendall in 1992, so original 1970s interiors can sit next to houses rebuilt in the 1990s; photos help us bring the right hardware.
- Association communities out west — West Kendall has many townhome and condo communities with vendor rules; see HOA handyman Miami.
Kendall homes: east vs. west
East Kendall, near US-1, Dadeland and the Pinecrest line, is the older part: single-story concrete-block houses on larger lots, many from the 1950s to the 1970s, some still with jalousie windows, terrazzo floors and original closets. Further west toward the Turnpike the housing is newer and denser — planned subdivisions, townhomes and condo communities with associations, pools and gates. The work differs too: older houses bring door, lock, fixture and wall-repair lists; newer communities bring mounting, assembly and move-in lists, plus the paperwork an association asks for. Unincorporated means county rules: permit and code questions go to Miami-Dade County.

How much is a handyman in Kendall Miami?
Small task under ~1 hour: $99*. Hourly: $100/hr (2-hr minimum). Half-day (4 hrs): $389. Full-day (8 hrs): $715. Single-SKU jobs (TV, shelves, locks, showerhead, outlets) use those menus when that is the whole visit.

Do Kendall townhomes and HOAs need COI?
Townhome and condo communities in West Kendall often do: a vendor COI, gate registration and sometimes set work hours. Older single-family streets in East Kendall often have no association. Either way, concrete-block walls need masonry anchors — send photos and any community rules when you book. See our HOA handyman guide.
Is Kendall the same as Doral handyman service?
Same crew and menu, different places. Kendall is unincorporated Miami-Dade — permits go through the County — with a mix of older block houses and newer townhome communities; Doral is an incorporated city with its own building department and mostly newer HOA communities near the airport. Doral has its own guide for 33172 / 33178.
Can you do same-day small jobs in 33176 / 33173 / 33186?
Sometimes, for a single task when the route allows — Kendall is large, so the exact cross street matters. Multi-room lists in older houses are best booked on a scheduled window, because doors, fixtures and walls there often need more than one fix; photos help us size piece-rate vs half-day.
