Highland Park, IL

The cost

Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Highland Park home

Highland Park 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 Highland Park homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your Highland Park handyman

Roman handles jobs across the area. 10+ years on NW Chicago suburbs homes. He knows the housing stock here: the older plumbing, the wood-framed windows, the exterior seals that wear faster near the lake. When you book, you get Roman. Not whoever is available that day.

Serving all of Highland Park

FixHome+ covers Highland Park (60035, 60043, 60083) and nearby Highwood (60040), Deerfield (60015, 60093), Glencoe (60022), Northbrook (60062, 60065), and Riverwoods (60077).

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

FixHome+ has worked on homes in the area 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. North Shore homes built before 1980 have a predictable failure sequence — grout, caulking, exterior seals, then plumbing fittings. Roman has seen it dozens of times across these ZIP codes.

Services

What we fix in Highland Park homes

In this service area, the most common calls are Caulking and grouting, Leak Assessment and Fixes, Gutter cleaning & repair, Plumbing Inspections, and Hanging mirrors, shelves, and artwork. Older homes also see regular Air filter replacement and Dryer vent cleaning as original systems reach end of life. Seasonal work — Exterior walk-around for water or pest signs and Outlet and Switch Replacement — rounds out the year across all three ZIP codes.

The subscription covers all of these on a single flat monthly fee. No per-service billing, no surprise invoices. Each visit is logged in the app, so the full history of what has been done — and what is scheduled next — stays accessible between visits. Homeowners who started with a single repair request consistently find additional items that have been sitting on the list for months. The subscription is built around that reality: one handyman, recurring access, everything tracked. Subscribers also get a running maintenance calendar built from the first visit, so seasonal services like gutter cleaning and exterior inspections are scheduled proactively, not remembered after the damage is visible.

So worth it. I don’t have to think about house stuff anymore — they just show up, fix everything, and leave it perfect. Love it.

Comparison

FixHome+ vs. the other options in Highland Park

Local handymen in Highland Park 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. Each call starts cold. You describe the problem, wait for an estimate, wait for availability, and then pay an hourly rate with no record of what was serviced or what still needs attention. For a home with multiple deferred items, that process repeats every time.

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 has no history with your home, no record of past visits, and no stake in coming back next month. Franchises sell one-off visits. FixHome+ sells continuity. A handyman who has visited twelve times in a year catches problems earlier, works faster, and carries a maintenance history that a first-time visitor simply cannot have.

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 homeowners here who are already managing demanding schedules, every deferred repair is a quiet cost that compounds. Caulking that gets ignored becomes water damage. A misaligned door becomes a security gap. A clogged dryer vent becomes a fire hazard. The subscription prevents those compounding outcomes.

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.
