Fort Lauderdale, Broward County

Handyman in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale is home base. Everything from Victoria Park bungalows to the high-rise condos along Las Olas and the beach, and the housing stock swings wildly between 1950s concrete block and glass towers built last decade.

That matters more than it sounds. A 1954 CBS house on the mainland and a 2021 tower unit on the beach need completely different anchors, different tools and different assumptions about what’s behind the drywall. I carry both.

Condo boards and drilling rules

Buildings along the Intracoastal and the beach frequently have rules about drilling into demising and exterior walls, and some require a certificate of insurance from anyone working in the building. Check with your association before booking and I’ll work to whatever they require.

Older mainland homes are solid block

A lot of Fort Lauderdale’s established neighborhoods are concrete block with furring strips. Stud finders are misleading in these houses — they find the strips, not structure. Everything heavy goes into the block with masonry anchors.
