The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Buffalo Grove home
Buffalo Grove 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.

Meet your Buffalo Grove handyman
Roman handles jobs across the service area. He's been working on homes in the northwest suburbs for over ten years — this is his full-time work, not a side project. When you book, Roman is the one who shows up. The same handyman learns your house and keeps a running record of what's been done.

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Buffalo Grove 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 requires here. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s have predictable failure points. Sump pumps reach end of life. Garage door springs wear through. Gutters fill up before the first hard freeze. Roman has run through these enough times that he's usually ahead of the problem rather than reacting to it. In fall, that means door seals and garden hose prep. In winter, smoke detector checks and drainage.

Services
What we fix in Buffalo Grove homes
In Buffalo Grove, 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. Most of the local housing stock was built between the late 1970s and early 2000s, which means these jobs come up on nearly every block. Original sump pump installations age out, gutters clog with mature tree debris, and garage door hardware wears from decades of daily use. Older homes also see regular Leak Assessment and Fixes as original plumbing reaches end of life. Seasonal work — Holiday lights setup and Seasonal garden hose setup — fills in the rest of the year.
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 Buffalo Grove
Local handymen in Buffalo Grove 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. Every call starts over. No record, no continuity, nobody who knows your home's maintenance history. The next handyman has no idea what the last one did, so you get repeat diagnostics and another travel charge.
Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. You're still paying hourly, and what you get depends on whoever shows up that day. The brand name doesn't follow the technician through your door. When the tech rotates out of your territory, you're starting over with someone who doesn't know your house.
DIY works until it doesn't. The tools add up, the weekends disappear, and half the list hasn't moved in months. A sump pump sitting on the to-do list through a wet season is a flooded basement. Deferred maintenance compounds faster than most homeowners expect, and the jobs that don't get done are usually the ones nobody's quite sure how to approach.
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.
