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

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Evanston handyman
Roman handles Evanston jobs. 10+ years on NW Chicago suburbs homes. He knows the difference between a job that needs a patch and one that needs a licensed contractor — and he will tell you which is which before touching anything.
Serving all of Evanston
FixHome+ covers Evanston (60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208) and nearby Wilmette (60091), Winnetka (60093), Glencoe (60022), and Glenview (60025, 60026, 60027, 60079, 60089).
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Evanston 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. The housing stock runs from Victorian-era construction to mid-century split-levels to newer builds, sometimes on the same block. Roman has worked on all of it and does not treat a 1920s craftsman the same way as a 1975 ranch.
Older homes near the lakefront carry specific maintenance patterns: wood windows that need seasonal caulking, plumbing that predates modern fittings, and exterior surfaces that take a beating from lake-effect weather. Roman builds those details into each property's maintenance plan. Subscribers get a property-specific schedule, not a generic checklist.

Services
What we fix in Evanston homes
Evanston homes are old, and the calls follow from that. Leak assessments, faucet replacements, and plumbing inspections show up on most first-year visits. Outlet and switch replacements are routine in homes that still have original wiring. Gutters in fall, dryer vents once a year — that's the seasonal baseline across every Evanston ZIP code.
Everything else — caulking, TV mounting, smart lock installs, exterior walk-arounds — runs through the same app, tracked by property, handled by the same technician. No separate booking for each service, no starting over with someone new. Priority scheduling, 70+ services on one plan.

Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in Evanston
Local handymen in Evanston 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. You get a one-time visit, not a maintenance relationship.
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. No history with your home. No plan for what's next.
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. A backed-up homeowner with a half-finished punch list is exactly who FixHome+ exists for.
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.
