Questions for the handyman company Sarasota residents like to ask

I have received this call at least five to six times this year

Question-I have some lights to replace, and can you install ceiling fans?

Answer – I am sorry without a license in Sarasota county, we are not able to help with electrical. Many customers are amazed, or even insulted and I can’t do this. Florida law will not allow this. I can change light bulbs and smoke detector batteries, especially on high ceilings though. Our high ceiling lightbulb replacement service, takes unnecessary climbing risks out of your life. Furthermore, our smoke detector battery replacement service stops those beeps!

Answer – Our Home Theater Installation team can help you.   In addition to home theaters, we can do your home audio system installation, as well as a home security camera installation service.   We perform these home services only if you are using Wi-Fi or standard home entertainment plugs. But I am sorry, I cannot hook up low voltage wires. You need a licensed contractor to do this.
