Handyman work in Plant City
Plant City has two historic residential districts near downtown, close to the old Union Depot, and those homes need careful work on old trim, doors and floors. Out toward Park Road and the new BayCare hospital, homes are newer and the calls are more about mounting, painting and flooring.
Everybody and their brother knows when the Strawberry Festival is coming, late February into March. Wayne plans around the festival traffic near the grounds on Reynolds Street.

What folks in Plant City call about most
The homes here
Historic homes in the downtown and north Plant City districts, plus newer subdivisions. Wood rot, door and floor repairs, drywall and painting are the common calls.
The weather, and what it does
Plant City knows freezes. In January 2010 a long freeze had strawberry growers pumping so much water to protect crops that the aquifer dropped about 60 feet, and the area saw hundreds of dry wells and more than 100 sinkhole complaints. Summer brings the usual daily storms from late May into October.

Summer
The usual daily storms from late May into October. Old trim and porch wood on the historic homes need the most watching.

Questions from Plant City
Do you work on historic homes downtown?
Yes. Old trim, doors and floors are worth repairing carefully when they can be saved.
I see cracks after a dry spell or freeze. Should I worry?
Small drywall or tile cracks are common as homes settle. Large or growing cracks in walls or floors should be looked at by a structural engineer, and Wayne will tell you if he sees signs of that.
Do you work during Strawberry Festival?
Yes, he just plans around the traffic near the festival grounds.
Can you fix an old wood window sash?
Small repairs, like sash cords, stops and glazing, often yes. Replacing exterior windows is licensed work in Florida.
Do you work on homes near the Union Depot?
Yes. The historic districts downtown are in the service area.
