If you think handyman services are all alike, you probably haven’t experienced the great customer support provided by Ace Handyman Services St. Pete South. Owners Jonathan and Gisela Porcelli are proud of the excellent skills of their full-time craftspeople. They back all their services with warranties.
Gisela Porcelli is a Miami native. She and her husband were living in New York City when her mother got sick. They decided to make the move back to Florida in 2018, and thanks to the advice of fellow sailors, they found St. Petersburg. Gisela Porcelli had worked as a buyer and manager for a luxury retail boutique, and Jonathan Porcelli was in the film industry. They also had built a couple of homes, including one in Ecuador made out of shipping containers. When the opportunity arose to purchase an Ace Handyman Services franchise, they jumped at the chance to put their client services and management skills to good use.
A Variety of Services Offered
Clients range from first-time homebuyers who have no idea how to make repairs, to those who have the knowledge and don’t have the time or are no longer able. They love that Ace Handyman Services is part of Ace Hardware, stores they have always trusted to provide great advice and high-quality products.
“We offer premium customer service with easy online scheduling, and we always follow up to make sure you are pleased with the work performed,” Gisela Porcelli says. “Our craftspeople are able to focus on using their skills without having to deal with all the administrative work that goes along with running a business.”
Services range from kitchen and bathroom repairs and upgrades to painting, storm repairs, TV installation, carpentry, fence and door repair, and drywall projects. You can pay by the hour or check off your entire to-do list by bundling a number of projects into a halfday or full-day package. It’s easy to schedule a convenient date and time online or by calling the office.
Ace Handyman Services holds a contractor’s license and is fully insured and bonded. It hires local employees (not subcontractors) who have been fully vetted for their expertise and professionalism. “They will treat your home like it was their own,” Gisela Porcelli promises.
Guarantees Put Your Mind at Ease
All work completed by Ace Handyman Services comes with a one-year warranty. If you are dissatisfied with the work, a craftsperson will come back to your home within 24 hours. “We have a lot of respect for our clients and we aim to please,” she says. People frequently recommend them on Nextdoor, RateABiz, and Google reviews.
Great Craftspeople Are Always Needed
As the business continues to expand, Ace Handyman is always looking for additional craftspeople. “We make sure our employees are fairly compensated, and we reimburse them for gas and their phone,” Jonathan Porcelli says. “There is paid time off, and we offer a nice work-life balance.”
Giving Back to the Community
For the past two years, Ace Handyman Services has sponsored the Porchfest music festival, and they frequently donate their time and materials to those in need. “If our craftspeople see a client who is really struggling, they are authorized to offer a discount,” Gisela Porcelli reports. “It’s so rewarding to see people when they are really happy with our work,” Jonathan Porcelli says. “Your home is a very personal thing, and if we can help make your life easier and your home more pleasant, it makes it all so worthwhile.”
