You're likely to find a zillion retired PM's in The Villages who would love to do this sort of job and would charge you an hourly rate to get it done.

A Professional PM could give you a"fixed price" for everything you want done or do it on a "cost plus" basis.

The other option, is to hire a General Contractor, who will give you a fixed total cost. Then he'll sub the job out, manage it and collect his profit.
I agree that what you suggested is doable, but it would be highly unusual, especially for the work items mentioned by the OP. Finding an honest project manager would be very difficult unless the OP has a trusted friend who would help with selecting reputable contractors to do the work.
