Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing depends on the scope of the job, materials involved, and how long it takes — so we always start with a free, no-obligation estimate rather than a flat rate. Use our Quick Estimate form (a few photos help us scope the job) or give us a call, and we'll follow up with pricing before any work begins.

We serve Southwest Florida, including Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Marco Island, Golden Gate Estates, and Estero. Each area has its own quirks — coastal salt air, canal-front humidity, larger rural lots — and we tailor the work accordingly.

KirchCo brings over 20 years of combined handyman and home-improvement experience to every job, from a quick repair to a multi-day project.

Yes. We know life doesn't run on a 9-to-5 schedule, so we offer some night and weekend availability to fit your routine.

Customer satisfaction is our first priority — we back every job with a 100% guarantee of quality work, and we clean up after ourselves before we call it done.

Southwest Florida's humidity and frequent summer rain create ideal growing conditions for mold, mildew, and algae — especially on shaded or north-facing walls that don't get enough direct sun to dry out. A wash removes what's already there, but most SWFL homes benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months to stay ahead of regrowth, especially around heavy landscaping. Learn more about Pressure Washing Services.

Most homes in our area need a fresh exterior coat every 5 to 7 years — sometimes sooner on walls with heavy sun exposure, since UV rays break down paint binders faster here than in milder climates and cause fading, chalking, and peeling. Lighter colors tend to hold up longer since they reflect more heat than dark shades. Learn more about Painting Services.

Overnight humidity regularly sits above 80% here, and wood decay fungi thrive once moisture content gets high enough — which happens fast in our climate. Even pressure-treated fence posts can show real rot within 5 to 8 years without upkeep. Resealing decks every 2 to 3 years and fences every 3 to 5 years goes a long way toward avoiding a costly rebuild. Learn more about General Home Maintenance.

Yes — hurricane shutter and storm panel installation, securing outdoor furniture and loose items, and screen enclosure removal are some of our most requested calls as storm season approaches. We recommend scheduling before a storm is actually in the forecast, since availability gets tight fast once one is. Learn more about Hurricane Preparedness & Cleanup.

Yes — screen and lanai enclosure panels are one of our most common pre-storm calls, since wind-driven debris tears them easily. We remove them before the storm and reinstall them once it's passed, so your enclosure isn't sitting exposed longer than it needs to be. Learn more about Hurricane Preparedness & Cleanup.

Yes — once it's safe, we do a property walk-through for damage and handle minor repairs like fencing, siding, and screens. For heavier debris like downed branches or damaged furniture, that pairs with our Junk Removal service so it's one coordinated visit instead of two separate calls. Learn more about Hurricane Preparedness & Cleanup.

At least twice a year — once before the June-through-November wet season and once after hurricane season wraps up — with more frequent cleanings if your property has heavy tree cover. Clogged gutters during a tropical storm send water straight into your foundation, walls, or windows instead of away from them.

Yes — overgrown branches near your home or power lines are one of the most common causes of storm damage in Southwest Florida. Getting ahead of it before storm season is a lot cheaper than cleanup after.

It does. Sandy soil drains fast, and our dry season (roughly November through May) can stress landscaping without consistent watering, while summer's heavy rain can mean over-watering damage if a system isn't adjusted. We install and repair PVC irrigation solutions and can help dial in the settings for the season.

Yes — the swing between air-conditioned indoor air and humid outdoor air can make wood doors and cabinets expand and contract over time, leading to sticking doors, hinge wear, or minor drywall cracks at seams. We handle drywall patching, door adjustments, and general upkeep like this routinely — cabinet slide and hinge repairs fall under our Renovation Services. Learn more about General Home Maintenance.

The small, ongoing tasks that keep a home running well rather than one-time projects — door and window repair, drywall patching, blinds and window treatment installation, caulking and weatherstripping, gutter cleaning, and deck upkeep. If you're not sure which category something falls under, just ask — we'll point you the right way, or handle it either way. Learn more about General Home Maintenance.

Yes — blinds, shades, and other window treatment installation is one of our most common General Home Maintenance calls, whether it's a single room or a whole house. Learn more about General Home Maintenance.

Yes — testing and replacing smoke detectors, and general upkeep on minor household appliances and fixtures, are both covered under General Home Maintenance. It's a good one to bundle in with any other small jobs on your list. Learn more about General Home Maintenance.

Yes — we install and configure Wi-Fi thermostats, switches, outlets, ceiling fans, and outdoor cameras or video doorbells, so your setup actually works from day one, not just after a call to tech support. Learn more about Smart Home Solutions.

Toilet repairs, disposal replacement, shower repairs, and general fixture installation and maintenance are some of our most common calls. If it turns out to be a bigger issue, we'll always tell you upfront. Learn more about Plumbing Services.

Yes — furniture, office equipment, shelving, closet systems, and exercise equipment assembly is one of our most requested indoor services. Just have the box ready and we'll take it from there, hardware and instructions included. Learn more about Furniture & Exercise Equipment Assembly.

Yes — ceiling fan installation, light fixture upgrades, and outlet or switch repairs are among our most requested electrical jobs, always handled with safety as the top priority. Learn more about Electrical Services.
