Caulking, Trim & Minor Carpentry in Miami
Double Handyman handles caulking, trim and minor carpentry across Miami-Dade and South Broward — stripping and re-caulking showers, tubs, sinks and backsplashes with mould-resistant silicone, installing or repairing baseboards, casing, crown and quarter-round, and building closet shelving and small custom pieces. Flat-rate price before booking, same-week in most cases.
Why caulk fails fast in South Florida
Humidity and year-round warmth are what mould likes, and the caulk line around a shower or tub is where it shows first. Once caulk darkens, cracks or peels, water gets behind it and into the wall. Re-caulking is a small job that protects a big one: we strip the old bead completely, treat and dry the joint and lay a new mould-resistant silicone bead that is smooth and sealed to both surfaces.
Trim has its own Miami problems. Baseboards swell at the bottom in humid rooms, quarter-round pops when floors shift, and condo renovations leave gaps where new flooring meets old casing. We cut, fit, nail, fill and caulk so the lines are crisp and paint-ready.
What we handle
- Re-caulking showers, tubs, sinks, backsplashes and countertops
- Exterior caulking at windows, doors and trim where it has cracked
- Baseboard, quarter-round, casing and crown moulding install or repair

How it works
Send photos of the areas and tell us the length of trim or the number of wet areas. We quote a flat price. On the day we protect floors, remove the old material, make the repair and leave the surface finished — caulk cured enough to use within the day for silicone, trim filled and ready for paint. Most caulking jobs are a single visit.

Your Questions, Answered
How much does caulking or trim work cost in Miami?
We price flat-rate, not by the hour. Tell us the job — a photo or two helps — and we give you one upfront number before anything is scheduled. The price moves with how many wet areas or how many linear feet of trim, whether old material has to be removed, and whether the work is paint-ready or includes a finish coat. Whatever we quote is what you pay; there is no clock running and no add-ons at the door.
How often should shower caulk be replaced in Miami?
When it darkens, cracks or lifts — in a daily-use shower in South Florida that is often every few years. Catching it early keeps water out of the wall, which is the expensive part to fix.
Can you match existing baseboards and trim?
In most cases yes. Standard profiles are stocked locally; for older or unusual profiles we find the closest match or splice in a transition that is not noticeable once painted.
Do you do larger carpentry or built-ins?
We build closet systems, shelving, small benches and similar pieces. Structural work, framing, decks and anything that needs a permit belongs with a licensed contractor, and we will say so.
Does a handyman need a license in Florida?
Not for minor repairs. Florida does not require a state contractor licence for handyman work such as mounting, assembly, drywall patching, caulking, door adjustment and swapping like-for-like fixtures. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing and structural work must be done by licensed contractors. Double Handyman sticks to the minor-repair side of that line and tells you plainly when a job belongs with a licensed trade.
