Call Walter for smaller projects requiring diverse skills – TV mounting, furniture assembly, picture hanging, or minor repairs. You’ll need a specialized contractor for larger projects involving electrical work, plumbing, or structural changes that require permits. Not sure which you need? Just call Walter at (813) 369-3627 to discuss your project, and he’ll help determine if it’s something he can handle or if you need a specialist.

Pricing is straightforward: $100 for the first hour (which includes the service call) and $75 for each additional hour. You provide the materials, and Walter brings all the tools and expertise. Most small household projects can be completed within 1-2 hours. For larger projects, Walter offers free consultations to give you an accurate time and cost estimate before work begins.

When scheduling, a $25 deposit is required to confirm your appointment. This deposit is non-refundable if you cancel less than 12 hours before your scheduled time. For appointments in locations outside Hillsborough County (like Sarasota, St. Petersburg, or Orlando), a $100 deposit is required due to the extended travel time. Your time slot is not confirmed until the deposit is paid.

For larger projects, booking 1-2 weeks in advance is recommended. However, Walter can often accommodate smaller, urgent needs much sooner – sometimes even same-day. Don’t hesitate to call about urgent projects, as there may be availability in the schedule. Walter works Sunday through Friday (days and evenings), taking Friday evenings and Saturdays off.

Walter primarily serves all areas within Hillsborough County. For larger jobs requiring 6+ hours of work at one location, he will travel to Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, and Orlando. These extended-area appointments require a $100 deposit to cover travel costs in case of cancellation.

Walter will help you identify exactly what materials you’ll need before your appointment. During your initial phone consultation, he’ll provide guidance on the specific materials, quantities, and even recommended brands. If you’re uncertain, you can text photos of the project area to Walter, and he’ll help you create a shopping list to ensure you have everything needed when work begins.

Someone must be present at the beginning of the appointment to provide access to your property and discuss project expectations with Walter. Once work begins, you’re welcome to stay or leave as you prefer – it’s completely up to you. If you do leave, Walter just asks that you remain reachable by phone for any questions that might arise.

If you’re unsure about what materials to purchase, Walter can provide detailed guidance before your appointment to help you get exactly what’s needed. If incorrect materials are purchased, Walter will advise on the correct materials needed to complete the job properly. In some cases, this might require rescheduling or extending the project timeline to allow for getting the right supplies.

Walter accepts multiple payment methods for your convenience: cash, credit cards, debit cards, and Zelle. The $25 appointment deposit can be paid through any of these methods as well.

Your satisfaction is Walter’s priority. If you have any concerns about the completed work, simply communicate them right away. Walter stands behind his workmanship and will address any issues to ensure you’re completely happy with the results. This commitment to quality is why so many Tampa homeowners continue to rely on Handyman Walter for all their home projects.

Absolutely! Many homeowners save up a “honey-do list” of small tasks for a single appointment. This is an efficient way to handle multiple minor projects like hanging pictures, fixing squeaky doors, patching small holes, and assembling furniture. When calling to book, mention all the tasks you’d like completed so Walter can estimate the time required and bring all the necessary tools.
