By national ratios Fort Lauderdale supports about 990 full-time handyman pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. Ownership is split — 54 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
