Handyman in Weston, FL

Weston is about as planned as a South Florida city gets. Most of it was developed by Arvida as a master-planned community first called Indian Trace, and the first homes were finished in 1984 in Country Isles and Windmill Ranch. The city incorporated in 1996, and Bonaventure, which was developed separately, voted to join in 1997.

For homeowners, that means neighborhoods built to a standard and associations that expect it kept. We do the outside upkeep that keeps a house in line with the rules, plus the inside jobs that come with living in it.

Weston homes and their age

Since the Arvida neighborhoods went up from the mid-1980s on, most Weston houses are block and stucco with drywall interiors. Many have now passed 25 years, which is about when original caulk, exterior trim boards, sliding door rollers and screens start to give out.

Most of the city postdates 1978, which makes lead paint rare here. For an older house, our tech tests the paint before any sanding; if lead shows up, an EPA lead-safe certified firm takes over that part.

HOAs and gated communities in Weston

Nearly every Weston street sits under an HOA, and many sit inside a gated community such as Savanna or Weston Hills. Gated entry usually means a guest pass or a call-in from the homeowner, and associations commonly require a vendor COI and limit work to set hours.

Exterior changes usually need architectural review. Repairs that put things back the way they were, like sealing a stucco crack or replacing a rotted fascia board in the same profile, tend to be simpler, but check with your association before we touch the outside. We can send a written scope and photos for your request.

Common Weston requests

The list here mixes upkeep that keeps the association happy with jobs inside the house:

  • Stucco cracks sealed and caulk renewed around windows and doors
  • Driveway and walkway pressure washing when a notice arrives, from $199 for a two-car drive
  • Fascia and trim boards swapped out where rot has set in, in wood or PVC
  • Curtain rods, blinds and shades hung, including on block window openings
  • Gutter cleaning, $169 for a single-story home up to about 200 feet

Seasons in Weston

In the wet months, roughly late May through October, stucco cracks and failed caulk show up as stains on interior walls. Sealing them in spring is the cheaper fix.

Through hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, we hang and take down the shutters you own, $299 for up to 10 openings and $20 for each one after that, and we bring in patio and pool furniture.

Some Weston owners spend part of the year elsewhere. Departure and arrival prep is $149 a visit, and home watch with photo reports starts at $189 a month.

Questions from Weston homeowners

Do you charge a travel fee to Weston?

It depends on the address. Weston is on the west side of our service area, so a visit may add $39 or $69 for travel. We give you the number when you book, and putting several tasks into one visit spreads that cost out.

Can you help with an HOA violation notice?

Often, yes. Notices commonly ask owners to clean a driveway or walkway, repair stucco cracks or fix a gate. Send us a photo of the notice and we tell you which items we can handle and what each one costs.

Can you get into Savanna and Weston Hills?

Yes. Add us to your guest list for the visit date, and tell us if your association keeps vendor COIs on file. We send ours ahead so the gate does not hold us up.

Can you hang blinds and curtain rods on block walls?

Yes. In many Weston homes the window openings are concrete block behind the drywall, so we use masonry anchors wherever a bracket lands on block. Curtain rods are $49 per window and blinds or shades $45 per window, with our $149 minimum visit.

Can you put up my hurricane shutters?

Yes, if they are panels or accordions you already own. Take-down costs the same as put-up, and the price is locked before any emergency declaration. A new shutter system is permit work, and for that we will refer you to a licensed contractor.
