By national ratios St. Petersburg supports about 1,500 full-time handyman pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. 63 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
