The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Vernon Hills home
Vernon Hills homeowners spend $3,600–$6,000 a year on reactive repairs — each one its own search, its own wait, its own $300–$500 bill. A Home Harmony subscription is $184 per month.
But the cost comparison isn't really the point. What changes is that you stop scrambling. Same technician. A maintenance plan that actually carries over. When something breaks, you're not starting from zero.
Here's what that cycle costs across 12 months.
Home Harmony
One sump pump replacement runs $200–$400. Book two in a year and the subscription's covered itself.
Why us
Why Vernon Hills homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Vernon Hills handyman
Roman handles Vernon Hills jobs. He brings 10+ years working on NW Chicago suburbs homes. He knows the housing stock in the area: the builds, the seasonal patterns, and the repairs that come up repeatedly. When you book through the app, Roman shows up with the history of your home already in front of him. You don't repeat yourself. He already knows the faucet that was flagged on the last visit and the gutter section that needs watching each fall. Every visit builds on the one before it. The app logs what was done, what was flagged, and what's scheduled next, so no item gets lost between appointments and no repair gets overlooked because a different tech showed up.
Serving all of Vernon Hills
FixHome+ covers Vernon Hills (60061, 60062, 60481, 60488) and nearby Long Grove (60045, 60064, 60071), Lincolnshire (60069), Mundelein (60060, 60063, 60443), Buffalo Grove (60089, 60090), and Hawthorn Woods (60047).
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Vernon Hills and the surrounding suburbs for more than ten years. Roman knows these houses: how they were built, what fails first, and what seasonal maintenance actually looks like here. That track record means subscribers don't spend weekends chasing contractors or waiting on callbacks. Older NW suburban homes follow predictable patterns. The caulking around tubs goes first. Garage door springs wear on schedule. Dryer vents accumulate lint faster than most homeowners expect. Roman tracks all of it across your visits so nothing falls through the cracks between appointments.

Services
What we fix in Vernon Hills homes
In Vernon Hills, the most common calls are Dryer vent cleaning, Faucet Replacement, TV Mounting and Installation, Caulking and grouting, and Outlet and Switch Replacement. Older homes also see regular Gutter cleaning & repair and Air filter replacement as original plumbing and HVAC systems age.
Subscribers don't wait for a single item to fail before booking. The subscription means Roman shows up monthly, works through the open list, and flags anything that needs attention before it becomes urgent. Minor plumbing issues get caught at inspection. Roman refreshes caulking before water gets behind the tile, checks electrical connections before a fixture stops working, and clears dryer vents that haven't been cleaned in two years before they become a fire risk. That's a maintenance plan — not reactive repairs.
At $184/month, the effective rate works out to $92/hour across 12 annual visits. Non-subscribers pay $125/hour for handyman services in Vernon Hills. Compare that against 12 separate on-demand calls at $300–$500 each. That's $3,600–$6,000 per year versus $2,208 on the subscription. The subscription also catches repairs before they escalate — that adds up beyond the math.

I decided to try a FixHome+ service because of an app and booked a demo visit. Roman showed up and quickly assessed the tasks I needed help with.

Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in Vernon Hills
Local handymen in Vernon Hills can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks, billing runs $300–$500 per job, and there's no record of what's been done or what's due next. You start from zero every time something goes wrong. The search costs time too: combing reviews, chasing quotes, waiting for a callback that may never come.
Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. You're still paying hourly, and what you get still depends on who shows up that day. Booking through a franchise call center means joining a queue with no continuity from one visit to the next. When the tech changes, the history resets. You explain the same issues again and pay the same hourly rate for someone seeing your home for the first time.
DIY works until it doesn't. The tools add up, the weekends disappear, and half the projects on the list haven't moved in months. For busy homeowners, the math on DIY rarely works out. Handing those items to Roman through the app takes less time than the hardware store run.
FixHome+ works differently. One monthly subscription covers 12 handyman visits per year, one per month. Home Harmony subscribers pay an effective $92/hour against the non-subscriber rate of $125/hour. The math: $184 × 12 = $2,208 per year versus a traditional 12-visit approach at $3,600–$6,000. Regular visits catch problems before they turn into repairs. Roman tracks what's been done and what's coming due.

Our Mission
Why FixHome+ exists
I spent more than a decade doing handyman work across the NW Chicago suburbs before starting FixHome+. The problem was always the same: homeowners paying $300–$500 for repairs that got bad because they had no one to call before they did. A subscription with one technician and one monthly fee is what he built to change that.
