The cost

Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Arlington Heights home

Arlington Heights 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.

Why us

Why Arlington Heights homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your Arlington Heights handyman

Roman works this suburb and the surrounding NW Chicago communities. He has been on homes in this area for more than ten years — not rotating through markets, covering the same streets month after month. He knows which blocks have the older plumbing, where drainage problems show up first, and what a deferred maintenance list looks like when it finally becomes expensive. Most subscribers walk away from the first visit with three to five things crossed off a list they had been sitting on for months.

Serving all of Arlington Heights

FixHome+ covers Arlington Heights (60004, 60005, 60006, 60007) and nearby Prospect Heights (60070), Mount Prospect (60056, 60057, 60058), Palatine (60067, 60073), Wheeling (60090, 60095), and Buffalo Grove (60089, 60090).

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

FixHome+ has worked on homes in Arlington Heights 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. Mid-century ranches on the west side behave differently than the newer construction near Palatine Road. Drainage patterns differ. The original plumbing on older streets has a pretty predictable lifespan at this point. Coming in with that context cuts the diagnostic time down considerably.

Services

What we fix in Arlington Heights homes

In Arlington Heights, the most common calls are Basement Sump Pump Replacement, Gutter cleaning & repair, Patching and paint touch-ups, Door and doorknob adjustment, and Garage door spring replacement. Older homes also see regular Leak Assessment and Fixes and Faucet Replacement as original plumbing reaches end of life. Seasonal work — Holiday lights setup and Seasonal garden hose setup — rounds out the year across all ZIP codes in the service area.

None of these are unusual jobs. They are the maintenance tasks that pile up in any house over the course of a year. On a subscription, they get handled on a schedule. One visit a month keeps the list manageable. Small problems get caught before they turn into larger ones.

The homes in this area cover several decades of construction. Older stock needs more plumbing attention and exterior maintenance. Newer builds tend to come in with smart home installation requests and door hardware work. The technician builds up a picture of the property over time. By the third visit, there is no need to explain what was done last time.

See the complete list of 70+ services — from TV Mounting and Installation to Grab Bars Installation — on our full service list.

Comparison

FixHome+ vs. the other options in Arlington Heights

Local handymen in Arlington Heights can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks, billing is $300–$500 per job, and there's no way to track what's been done or what's coming next. Most operate without a scheduling system. When something breaks on a Thursday night, you are starting a new search from scratch — again.

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. The technician who handled your kitchen last spring may not be the one who comes next time. There is no continuity, no ongoing knowledge of your home.

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. Every homeowner has a mental backlog of deferred tasks. A subscription works through that list one month at a time instead of letting it compound.

FixHome+ is the fourth option: a flat-rate handyman subscription with a dedicated technician, app-based scheduling, and 12 visits per year built in. No hourly surprises. No availability hunt. No deferred weekend projects.

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.
