Property manager and commercial maintenance handyman
Office, retail, restaurant, and rental punch lists for property managers — not GC or structural work. One registered crew, written estimates, $150 first hour.
Add Knight Group as your Pinellas handyman vendor
This page is the vendor file for Knight Group Handyman Services LLC — the company property managers, landlords, HOA boards, and small commercial desks add when they need a registered, insured handyman on work orders. It is not a homeowner “handyman near me” landing page, and it is not a second brand. You add this LLC. Overflow help is dispatched as Knight Group, not as a roster of other companies on this website.
Property managers searching commercial handyman near me or property maintenance handyman are usually looking for a vendor packet: legal name, FEIN, certificate of insurance, photo standards, and a written number — not another city page written for homeowners.
- Fast response on work orders during business hours
- COI and filled W-9 ready to send today
- Work orders by email, portal invite, or text photos
- Before-and-after photo documentation on every job
- One invoice per work order, materials listed separately
- Portfolio pricing for multi-property clients
- Priority care for repeat clients
- Preferred materials pricing for repeat-work vendors
Or download the vendor packet (ZIP) first: W-9, certificate of insurance, WC officer exemptions, Sunbiz record, and services one-pager.
Who adds Knight Group as a vendor
Property managers, landlords, and HOAs
Scattered single-family rentals, small multifamily, and association common areas. Send work orders from your maintenance platform or by email; we coordinate access, document the job with photos, and invoice that work order on its own. Turnovers, rekeys, drywall and paint, doors and hardware, fixtures, caulk, smoke-detector batteries before move-in, and appliance checks within handyman scope.
Realtors, investors, and flippers
Pre-listing punch lists and inspection-report repair lists. Send the report or photos and get a written scope before anyone shows up. Drywall, doors, paint touch-ups, caulk, fixtures, and small flooring repairs, with before-and-after photos you can drop into the listing file.
Offices, clinics, retail, and hospitality
Commercial facilities that need repairs finished without shutting down. Work can be split into phases, room by room, so each area is finished before the next starts. Flooring repairs and transitions, baseboards, doors and closers, ceiling tiles, drywall and paint, and punch lists after a move-out or another vendor, documented per area.
Work-order and photo documentation on every job
Every work order is closed out with a record you can attach to the unit file, forward to an owner, or keep for a deposit dispute:
- Your work-order or PO number and the unit or area on the invoice
- Before-and-after photos of each repair
- Plain-language notes: what we found, what we fixed, and anything that needs a licensed trade
- Materials listed separately from labor
Recent vendor work (clients kept anonymous)
A regional property management firm. Ongoing work orders through the firm’s maintenance platform across Pinellas rentals: vacant-unit patch and paint, rekeys between tenants, move-in safety checks, appliance diagnostics, and fixture repairs. Each order is closed out with photos and its own invoice.
A local hospitality business. A phased flooring project across a series of back-office rooms, including floor prep, new flooring, reinstalled baseboards, and a transition on a hallway ramp, completed room by room.
We do not name clients on this website. References are available to property managers on request, with the client’s permission.

The downloadable COI is proof of coverage. If your vendor file needs your management company as additional insured, email the exact legal name and we reissue. ACH and bank details are not in the zip — email nknight@knightgroup.com after you approve the vendor.
Insurance we can attach today
Knight Group carries commercial general liability at $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate. That certificate is what most Pinellas and Tampa Bay property managers ask for on day one. We are registered and insured as a handyman company. We are not a licensed plumber, electrician, HVAC contractor, roofer, or general contractor, and we will not sign your vendor form as if we were. Scope rules are on handyman scope in Florida.
Both managers hold Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation officer exemptions. The LLC does not currently have a company workers’ compensation policy, so the workers’ compensation block on the general-liability certificate is blank. Some management companies approve vendors on GL plus officer exemptions. Others will not. We will not tell your file that a company WC certificate exists until one is bound and in your inbox. If a bound company WC policy is a hard gate, say so in the first email.
How property-maintenance work orders run
Send the work order the way your desk already works: email, the form on this page, the booking form, or a photo text to (813) 649-3341. We do not require you to change software. If you use AppFolio, Buildium, or another vendor portal, invite Knight Group Handyman Services LLC and we will upload completion photos and invoices there. We do not sell a native API integration and we do not need you to log into ours.
Typical cycle on a business day: acknowledge the ticket, confirm what is handyman-scope versus a licensed trade, return a written estimate, schedule an arrival window, complete the work, and send before-and-after photos with a unit-level invoice. Standard arrival windows are 8–10, 10–12, and 12–2. We do not quote split windows such as 10:30–12:30. A 2–4 window is a first-hour exception when commute time is on the clock — ask before you promise an owner that slot.
Active water, an unsecured opening, or storm damage: call. Everything else can wait for a close-up and a wide shot. Lockbox codes, gate codes, and pet notes belong on the work order. Occupied units need a resident contact; vacant make-ready needs the ready date and whether paint is included.
Photo standard on closeout: one wide shot of the room or elevation, one close-up of the finished repair, and the work-order or unit number in the filename or the email subject. Invoices use the property address and unit, a short description a bookkeeper can bill an owner without calling us, and materials listed separately from labor. If your portal needs a specific cost-code, put it on the ticket before we start.
Work orders
Email, portal invite, or photos. We reply with a written number before tools come out.

Property maintenance a commercial handyman actually finishes
Most vendor tickets are not a remodel. They are drywall, paint, doors, hardware, screens, caulk, trim, blinds, and closeout after a licensed plumber or electrician leaves. Vince Knight managed Florida rental property for about ten years before Knight Group, which is why estimates read like a manager’s file — unit, issue, photos, ready date — instead of a homeowner punch list that grows in the driveway.
- Occupied work orders and make-ready lists that fit handyman scope
- Common-area doors, hardware, drywall, and paint (not elevators, fire systems, or roofing)
- Photo documentation you can forward to an owner without rewriting our notes
- Vacant-unit turnovers — the dedicated page is rental turnover handyman
- Pinellas vacant-house walkthroughs on Home Watch (observation and photos, not a repair ticket)
- Small commercial suites and offices when the work is the same handyman scope as a rental
Related finish work: general repairs, drywall repair, painting and finishing, doors and windows. Fixture plumbing and fan installs: journeyman plumbing background and plumbing services.
What this vendor will not sign
In-wall plumbing, sewer mains, panel or new-circuit work, permitted additions, structural repairs, HVAC, and mold remediation over ten square feet are referred. Hillsborough permit rules can be tighter than Pinellas — we confirm on the estimate. We will tell you that instead of hoping the work order closes.
Knight Group Handyman Services LLC is the only vendor this site asks you to add. Other businesses are not advertised here, are not a second Google Business Profile, and are not a substitute legal name on your COI.
Where property-manager routes actually run
Pinellas County is the home board: Safety Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Largo, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs, Seminole, and St. Petersburg. Selected northwest Hillsborough and west Pasco tickets are accepted when the day’s route already exists — not as a promise that every Tampa ZIP is a same-day commercial handyman call. Recurring Home Watch stays Pinellas-focused. Confirm the address before you tell an owner we are “the Tampa vendor.” See service areas and Pinellas coverage.
Published pricing on vendor work orders
Public retail matches published pricing: $150 first hour / $75 each additional hour on standard handyman work, $200 / $100 on specialty, with no two-hour minimum. Mixed work orders are often hourly. A defined make-ready list can be a written flat rate after photos or a walkthrough. Private network or platform rates are not published on this site. Net terms and ACH instructions belong on your vendor file and the invoice — never in a public HTML table.
Vacant unit versus the vendor relationship
One empty apartment and a Friday ready date belongs on rental turnover. Snowbirds and empty houses that need a walkthrough, not a punch list, belong on Home Watch. This page is the approved-vendor relationship: repeating work orders, COI, W-9, and photo standards under Knight Group Handyman Services LLC.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about property manager and commercial maintenance handyman from a registered Safety Harbor handyman team serving Pinellas County.
Where do I download the W-9 and insurance?
Download the vendor packet ZIP from this page. It includes the filled IRS W-9 (EIN 33-2557284), the ACORD 25 GL certificate, both managers’ Florida workers’ compensation officer exemptions, Sunbiz LLC proof, and the services one-pager. ACH is not in the zip. Email nknight@knightgroup.com if you need your company named as additional insured.
Do you carry workers’ compensation?
Both managers have Florida officer exemptions. The LLC does not currently have a company workers’ compensation policy, so that block on the GL certificate is blank. We will not claim a company WC certificate until one is bound. Ask if exemptions plus GL are enough for your vendor committee.
Do you take commercial handyman work orders and property maintenance tickets?
Yes. Email, portal invite, or photos. We return a written estimate, schedule 8–10, 10–12, or 12–2, and send completion photos. We are not a licensed plumber, electrician, or general contractor.
What does a property manager pay?
Published retail is $150 first hour and $75 each hour after on standard handyman work, $200 / $100 on specialty, with no two-hour minimum. Mixed work orders are often hourly; defined make-ready lists can be flat-rate after photos. Private vendor-network rates are not listed on this site. Portfolio pricing for multi-property clients and priority care for repeat clients are set up directly — ask when you send your first work orders.
Do you work with realtors, investors, and commercial facilities?
Yes. Realtors and investors send inspection reports or photos for pre-listing repair lists and get a written scope first. Offices, clinics, retail, and hospitality facilities can have work phased room by room, documented per area, with the same W-9 and certificate of insurance on file.
Is this the same page as rental turnover?
No. Rental turnover is the vacant-unit punch list. This page is the vendor relationship: W-9, COI, repeating work orders, and photo standards for Knight Group Handyman Services LLC.
