The list gets a plan first
Before anyone is booked you hear which items fit one visit, which need a part ordered and which need a licensed contractor. The day itself then runs to a plan instead of to a surprise.

Commercial handyman in Miami
Send the list of small jobs. A technician on our payroll comes once and works down it.
Performed in-house
Our own technician performs this work. No Florida contractor license is required for it, and TrionX carries general liability and workers' compensation.
A small-jobs visit is a single attendance that clears a list of minor tasks. You send the list ahead of the day, we confirm which items fit, and the technician works through them in one go. The travel is the expensive part of a small job, so items that share a trip cost far less than items that each get their own.
To send a list, use the request form or call. Give the property address, then one line per task with the room or door it is in, and a photograph where you have one. A word on each, such as sticks, loose or missing, is enough. We reply with what fits the visit, what needs a part ordered first and anything that is licensed work.
What fits is decided by time on site more than by item count. Door adjustments, hardware swaps, mounting, a small drywall patch, a blind that has dropped and a missing sign bracket all fit comfortably. A task that needs a second person, access equipment, an overnight cure or a part we have to order is booked as a follow-up so it does not stretch the main visit.
Some items on a list turn out to be licensed work. Replacing an outlet, a switch, a light fixture or a ceiling fan is electrical. Swapping a toilet or a faucet where supply lines are involved is plumbing. Anything that needs a permit is coordinated whatever the trade. Florida requires a licensed contractor for these at any size, so we flag the item, take it off the visit and arrange a licensed contractor on the same work order.

Why TrionX
How we approach handyman work.
Parts are settled ahead of the day
Common door hardware, fasteners and consumables travel with the technician. A particular lock model or a matching ceiling tile is sourced beforehand, so the visit does not stop for a trip to a supplier.
Licensed items are flagged early
An item that turns out to be electrical or plumbing comes off the list and goes to a licensed contractor. The rest of the visit carries on, and nothing gets a cosmetic fix over a real fault.
Common questions
Handyman in Miami: questions we get asked
How do I send the list of jobs?
Use the request form or phone. Give the property address and one line per task, with where it is and what is wrong. Photographs help a good deal. We come back with a plan for the visit before anyone is booked.
How many items fit in one visit?
That depends on time on site more than on the count. Quick items such as adjustments, swaps and mounting stack up well. A task needing a second person, equipment or a part we have to order is booked as a follow-up, so it does not stretch the visit.
What happens to an item that is licensed work?
It comes off the visit. Outlets, switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans and toilet or faucet swaps involving supply lines all need a licensed contractor in Florida, as does anything that requires a permit. We arrange that on the same work order and the rest of your list carries on.
Can the visit repeat on a schedule?
Yes. A recurring monthly or quarterly visit clears the list as it builds up, which usually suits larger or multi-site properties best. Single urgent items can often be attached to a visit already booked nearby.
