The Florida Difference

Licensed handyman vs. unlicensed handyman in Tampa.

Florida's $2,500 unlicensed-work cap is a real line. Crossing it without a license puts the homeowner on the hook if something goes wrong. Here is the honest difference.

Most Tampa handymen

Unlicensed and limited.

  • Cannot legally do work over $2,500
  • Cannot pull permits or pass inspections
  • Not allowed for new plumbing or electrical runs
  • Voids homeowner insurance on permitted scope
  • If the job grows, you need a second company

Every Tampa handyman job is quoted individually.

Send your list. We send back an itemized written quote within 24 business hours. No two homes are the same and the price should not be either.

Why we quote every job.

Your kitchen faucet swap is not the same as your neighbor's. Sending us your specific handyman list lets us factor in access, materials, parts you have already bought, and how many tasks stack onto one trip.

Most homeowners hear back within 24 business hours with a recommended visit length, a parts list, and a written quote that does not change unless the scope changes.

Logan Steege, owner of Jack O' Trades and licensed Florida residential contractor (CRC 1330291)
Meet Logan

Twenty years of Tampa handyman calls, one phone number.

I'm Logan Steege, the owner of Jack O' Trades. I have held a Florida Certified Residential Contractor license (CRC 1330291) since 2005, and I run every Tampa handyman call across the Bay Area personally. The in-house team I have built handles the trades behind me.

What sets this apart is the range. Most companies pick one lane. We hold the license that lets us pull a permit for a kitchen remodel and we still take the half-day "honey-do" call. You get the same care on the small jobs as the big ones, the same written estimate, and the same warranty either way.

If you're researching a Tampa handyman to actually trust in your house, call me with the questions. (813) 679-5657.

Handyman Tampa FAQs

Common questions, straight answers.

How much does a handyman cost in Tampa, FL?

It depends on the scope, materials, and access. Tampa hourly rates typically run $45–$135. As a rough estimate, a quick visit (1–2 hrs) is usually $150–$250, a half-day (4 hrs) $400–$550, and a full-day (8 hrs) $800–$1,000. Every job is quoted individually in writing before any work starts. Estimates only, not a guarantee.

Are handymen licensed in Florida?

Florida does not require a license for unpermitted small work under $2,500. Anything that needs a permit requires a state-certified contractor. Logan holds Florida CRC 1330291. Read more.

Can a handyman do electrical work in Tampa?

Unlicensed: like-for-like fixture and outlet swaps only. Licensed: new circuits, panel work, permitted electrical. We hold the license and cover both.

Can a handyman do plumbing in Tampa, FL?

Unlicensed: faucet, toilet, and shut-off swaps. Repipes, fixture runs, and water heaters require a licensed plumber or contractor. Because we hold the CRC, we cover both. More detail.

What's the difference between a handyman and a contractor?

In Florida, a handyman handles small unpermitted repairs. A contractor holds a state license and can pull permits. Jack O' Trades is both, which is why a small call can grow into a full remodel without changing companies.

Do you offer emergency handyman service in Tampa?

We do not run 24/7 emergency dispatch. For non-emergency small jobs we can usually schedule within a week. Call (813) 679-5657 to get on the schedule.
