Handyman work in Dade City
Dade City is just up US 301 from Zephyrhills, close enough that it feels like next door, just down the road a piece. Around the old courthouse square and the historic streets near downtown, there are homes with real character, and they need someone patient with wood and old trim.
Out on the acreage around town, the calls are more about gates, fences, sheds and porches. Wayne is happy as a clam doing either.

What folks in Dade City call about most
The homes here
A mix of historic homes near downtown, country homes on acreage, and golf community homes out by Lake Jovita. Wood rot, door frames, fences and gates, and porch and step repairs are the usual calls.
The weather, and what it does
The rainy season runs late May into early October, and inland spots like Dade City see a freeze about every other winter. Cold snaps and a wet summer are hard on old wood, which is why rot at door frames and porch posts shows up so often.
A year of home care in Dade City
Winter
Kumquat Festival brings folks downtown in January. Inland spots like Dade City see a freeze about every other winter, so check outdoor faucets and anything that holds water.
Spring
Dry season is the time for fence, gate and porch repairs, before the ground gets soft.
Summer
Heavy rain from late May into early October soaks old wood. Door frames, porch posts and the bottoms of fences are where rot shows up.
Fall
After storm season, walk the porch and fence line. Old houses tell on themselves at the corners and the bottoms of things.

Questions from Dade City
Do you work on older homes?
Yes, and carefully. Old trim and door frames are worth saving when they can be repaired instead of replaced.
Can you fix a gate out on acreage?
Yes. Gates, fence sections, sheds and porches on rural property are all regular work.
Are you around during Kumquat Festival weekend?
Downtown gets busy in January for the Kumquat Festival, so Wayne plans downtown jobs around it.
Can you match old trim on a historic house?
Often. Where a profile is not sold anymore, he can sometimes build it up from stock pieces. He will show you before he cuts anything.
Do you work out past Lake Jovita?
Yes. The country roads around Dade City are all in the area.
