Handyman, Painting & Lock Services in Tequesta
Tequesta is the northernmost municipality in Palm Beach County, sitting against the Martin County line with part of the village reaching onto Jupiter Island. It was planned in the 1950s around the Tequesta Country Club, and that course with its roughly 550 surrounding homes is still the center of the village. Palm Home Pros works the older country club streets, the wooded lots in Rolling Hills, the gated half-acre homes in Heritage Oaks, and the condos along the Loxahatchee River.
Working in Tequesta
Housing stock
Tequesta's core is 1950s and 1960s single-story homes around the country club: block walls, low rooflines, original wood interior doors. Rolling Hills and Heritage Oaks add larger wooded lots and gated half-acre parcels. Along the river there are condos and townhouses, some with wraparound second-story porches. Worn hardware, settled doors, and repeatedly repainted trim are the recurring issues.
Associations and access
Tequesta mixes association-free older streets with gated sections such as Heritage Oaks and with river condo boards. Where an association exists, expect an approved exterior palette, a gate list for service vehicles, and a certificate of insurance requirement. We send paperwork ahead so the visit is not spent waiting at the gate.
Sixty-year-old homes near the river
The country club section dates to the village's first decade, so those houses are around sixty years old. Interior doors have settled, original hardware is worn, and painted trim has been recoated many times. Sitting on the Loxahatchee River keeps humidity high year round even away from the ocean. We sand and seal before painting rather than rolling over old finish, and we adjust doors so a new lock latches without forcing it.
Two different Tequesta jobs
There is a clear split in the village. West of Country Club Drive the lots are larger and wooded, and the work runs to exterior painting, pressure washing, and hardware on several entry doors. Closer to the water, condo and townhouse owners want interior painting between seasons, TV mounting, blinds, and rekeys after a rental. We book the seasonal work for the fall, before owners return.

Questions from Tequesta
Do you work in the Tequesta Country Club neighborhood?
Yes. That section holds roughly 550 homes around the golf course, most of them from the 1950s and 1960s. The usual work there is interior repainting, door hardware and lock service on settled older doors, TV mounting on block walls, and grab bars and handrails for owners planning to stay in the home long term. We quote before we start.
Can you paint a condo along the Loxahatchee River in Tequesta?
Yes. Interior repainting between seasons is common in the river buildings. Humidity here stays high, so we allow proper recoat time instead of pushing a second coat too early, which is what leaves a soft finish and roller marks. If your association sets rules about work hours or elevator use, tell us and we will schedule around them.
Why is my Tequesta front door hard to lock?
On a sixty-year-old home it is usually the door and the frame moving, not the lock. Humidity swells wood, hinges sag, and the bolt no longer lines up with the strike. We adjust hinges and reposition the strike plate first. If the cylinder itself is worn we will show you and quote a rekey or a replacement before doing it.
Do you serve the Jupiter Island part of Tequesta?
Part of the village does extend onto the island, and we cover it. Access there can involve a gate or a bridge crossing, so tell us the entry details when you book and we will allow for it. Work on that side is mostly exterior touch-up painting, hardware and lock service, and seasonal checks for owners who are away.
