Weekly full-service pool cleaning in Florida typically costs about $100 to $185 per month with chemicals included, depending on the region. South Florida tends to cost the most and North Florida the least. Pools run year-round here, so weekly service is the norm.

General contractors usually charge 10% to 20% of the total construction cost to run a project. That covers overhead, supervision, and profit. For small jobs, some bill $50 to $150 per hour or $300 to $500 per day instead.

A standard home inspection in Florida typically costs about $250 to $375, and larger homes cost more. Many Florida buyers also add a wind mitigation or 4-point inspection, which insurers often ask for, at roughly $50 to $200 each.

A standard house cleaning in Florida typically costs about $115 to $236 per visit, and averages around $165 in the Tampa area. Home size, the number of bathrooms, and the type of cleaning (standard, deep, or move-out) drive the price.

Lawn mowing in Florida averages about $51 per visit. It ranges from roughly $26 for a small 1/8-acre lot to about $97 for a full acre. Grass grows most of the year here, so many homeowners book weekly or every-other-week service, and extras like fertilizing and cleanup cost more.

A typical plumbing repair costs about $180 to $500. Plumbers generally charge $45 to $200 per hour depending on experience, and many add a trip or service-call fee. Bigger jobs like a new water heater or repiping cost more.

Removing a tree in Florida typically costs about $200 to $2,000, and many homeowners pay around $750. Height is the biggest factor: a tree under 30 feet costs far less than a tall oak or pine near your house. Stump grinding, debris hauling, and storm emergencies add to the bill.

Replacing a central AC system in Florida usually costs about $4,000 to $12,000 installed. System size (tonnage) and efficiency matter most, and a typical 3-ton system runs about $5,500 to $8,000. Permits, ductwork, and coastal or hurricane requirements can add to the total.

Professional painters usually price by the square foot. Interior painting runs about $2 to $6 per square foot, and exterior painting about $1.50 to $5 per square foot. Prep work, ceiling height, and siding type (like stucco) move the price the most.
