Project details
Knight Group is registered and insured — not a licensed plumber, electrician, or GC. We handle handyman-scope work honestly and refer licensed trades when required.
Florida homeowners search “licensed handyman” constantly — but handyman businesses are typically registered and insured, not licensed plumbers, electricians, or general contractors. Knight Group is transparent about that distinction. We stay registered and insured, and we refer work that needs a permit or a licensed trade. See DBPR consumer guidance for state licensing categories.
Knight Group handles drywall and finish work, interior paint, trim carpentry, interior door adjustment, screens and hardware, caulking, punch-list items, Home Watch observation, ceiling fans, light fixtures, switches, like-for-like outlets, plumbing fixtures on existing connections, and closeout after licensed trades finish.
Licensed trades are required for new circuits, panel work, whole-home rewires, repipes, sewer mains, gas lines, new rough-in, roofing repairs, new-window installation, structural additions, HVAC, and mold remediation of more than 10 square feet of contaminated material. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, switches, like-for-like outlets, and plumbing fixtures on existing connections are handyman work Knight Group performs.
Pinellas permit note: effective July 1, 2026, some projects under $7,500 can qualify for limited permit exemptions only with Building Official approval. A permit exemption is not a contractor-license exemption.
Hillsborough note: Fixture and fan work is quoted the same way when the job does not need a permit. Hillsborough permit rules can be tighter than Pinellas, so we confirm the county requirement on the written estimate.
Owner Vince Knight’s journeyman plumbing experience shows up on faucet, toilet, sink, and fixture work; it does not replace a plumbing contractor license. Read why that experience still matters.
Frequently asked questions
What to know about handyman scope in Florida in Pinellas County before you schedule.
What registration and insurance does Knight Group carry?
Knight Group is registered and insured in Florida as a handyman services company. We are not licensed as a plumber, electrician, or general contractor — we are clear about that and refer licensed trades when required.
What work does Knight Group quote as handyman scope?
Knight Group quotes drywall, paint, carpentry, interior doors, screens, hardware, caulking, punch-list work, ceiling fans, light fixtures, switches, outlets, and basic plumbing that does not need a permit. New circuits, panel work, in-wall plumbing, and sewer work are referred. We are not a licensed electrician, plumber, or general contractor.
When should I hire a licensed plumber instead of a handyman?
Opening walls, sewer mains, gas lines, new rough-in, and permit-sign-off jobs need a licensed plumber. Fixture plumbing on existing connections is Knight Group work.
Does experience replace a license?
No. Experience helps with diagnosis and honest scope; it does not replace a license when Florida law or your insurance requires one. Knight Group refers out rather than overpromising.
