Your local Temple Terrace handyman for repairs, remodels & installs
Temple Terrace isn't a service area for us — it's home. Our shop is on Montrose Ave in 33617, right between the University of South Florida (USF) and Busch Gardens, with quick access to Riverhills, Temple Crest and the neighborhoods off Bullard Parkway. The city was planned around the Tom Bendelow golf course in the 1920s as one of America's first golf-course communities, and we still work on the Mediterranean Revival originals near the country club. We also know the 1950s–70s block ranches of Riverhills and Temple Crest, and the newer townhomes off Bullard Parkway. Temple Terrace runs its own permit office on North 56th Street, separate from Hillsborough County, so we can guide you through that when a project needs it.

Recent Temple Terrace handyman projects
A small sample of work we've completed for Temple Terrace homeowners.
Country-club-area Mediterranean Revival plaster repair
Repaired cracked 1920s plaster around an arched doorway in one of the city's original homes, matched the sand-float finish and repainted the room without disturbing a single era detail.
Orange River Estates LVP flooring install
Removed worn carpet in a 1970s ranch, flattened low spots in the slab with self-leveling compound and installed waterproof LVP through the living room, hallway and three bedrooms.
Theresa Arbor kitchen backsplash + cabinet hardware refresh
Installed a subway tile backsplash, swapped 30-plus dated cabinet pulls and hinges and re-hung two sagging cabinet doors — a one-day refresh that reads like a remodel in Temple Terrace kitchens still wearing their original finishes.
Meadowood Oaks townhome TV mount + cable hide
Mounted a 75" TV with an articulating arm in a 2000s townhome, routed the HDMI and cords in-wall with a recessed media kit and set a floating soundbar below — no visible cables anywhere.
Bullard Parkway townhome bath refresh
Set a new 36" vanity, hung a framed mirror, regrouted the floor tile and re-caulked the tub surround, then repainted — a one-day update scheduled around the resident's work-from-home meetings.
Riverfront backyard fence + gate rebuild
Reset storm-leaned posts in concrete and rebuilt a sagging gate on a lot backing the Hillsborough River near Riverhills Park — and confirmed the city's fence permit requirement before starting.
1950s ranch popcorn ceiling removal + lanai screen repair
Scraped and skim-coated the popcorn ceilings in the living room and hall, refinished smooth and repainted, then re-screened two torn lanai panels and re-splined the screen door on the same visit.

Temple Terrace handyman FAQs
Are you actually based in Temple Terrace?
Yes — our shop is on Montrose Ave in 33617. Our techs live here, our supply runs happen here, and Temple Terrace calls often get worked into the same day's route.
Does my Temple Terrace repair need a city permit?
Sometimes — Temple Terrace runs its own Building Department on North 56th Street, separate from Hillsborough County, and even fences and screen enclosures need city permits here. We'll tell you up front if your project crosses that line and coordinate licensed trade partners when it does.
Can you work on the original Mediterranean Revival homes near the golf course?
Yes — 1920s plaster, arched openings and original tile call for careful patching and finish-matching, not shortcuts. We treat the city's founding-era homes with the respect they deserve.
Do you know the 1950s–70s block ranches around Riverhills Drive?
They're our bread and butter — concrete-block walls that need the right anchors, slab floors that need leveling before new flooring, and original terrazzo and tile we protect carefully during drywall and paint work.
My property backs the Hillsborough River — can you handle the outdoor repairs?
Yes — fence lines, gates, deck boards and post-storm cleanup on river-adjacent lots near Riverhills Park are routine for us, dropped oak limbs included.
Do you cover both Temple Terrace zips, 33617 and 33637?
Yes — from the golf-course core to the newer sections east of I-75. Both are just minutes from our shop.
Do you handle rental homes on the USF edge of Temple Terrace?
Yes — the city's west side transitions into the USF rental market, and we handle turnovers, drywall, paint, door hardware and blind installs for landlords there year-round.
Do you work near USF and Busch Gardens?
Yes — our Montrose Ave shop is minutes from the USF campus and a short drive from the Busch Gardens area, so those calls often get same-day or next-day scheduling.
Do you serve the Temple Crest neighborhood?
Yes — Temple Crest sits between the USF edge of Temple Terrace and the University area, and we handle the same block-ranch repairs there: drywall patches, interior painting, door repairs and rental turnovers.
General questions
How much does a handyman cost?
Common flat-rate prices across Tampa Bay: TV mounting $120–$220, drywall patch $150–$300, interior painting from $295 per room, furniture assembly from $75. We provide free written estimates before any work starts.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are fully insured. The handyman work we do — drywall, painting, flooring, TV mounting, doors, tile, carpentry — doesn't require a state contractor license in Florida. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, and structural work require licensed contractors; we refer that work to trusted licensed trade partners rather than doing it ourselves.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes — we're available 7 days a week, evenings and holidays included, with same-day service when the schedule allows. Call or text (786) 509-5555 any time.
