The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Kenilworth home
Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Kenilworth handyman
Roman handles every Kenilworth job personally. He has spent more than ten years working on homes across the North Shore — including the older, larger properties that define this part of the suburbs. He knows the housing stock here: original plumbing lines, aging exterior seals, settling window frames, and the maintenance cycles that keep these homes running well year after year. Whether the call is a faucet replacement, a gutter inspection, or a full round of seasonal maintenance tasks, Roman brings the same systematic approach to every visit. Book through the app and Roman shows up — not a subcontractor pulled from a marketplace.
Serving all of Kenilworth
FixHome+ covers Kenilworth (60043) and nearby Wilmette (60091), Winnetka (60093), Evanston (60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208), Northfield (60093, 60063), and Glencoe (60022). All of these communities are part of the same North Shore service area — one subscription covers your property regardless of which side of the village line you're on. If you live in any of these ZIPs, you are already within Roman's regular service route.
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Kenilworth and the surrounding North Shore 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. Kenilworth homes are not new construction. They carry decades of deferred decisions — a faucet that runs a little slow, a bathroom seal that's been cracking since last winter, a gutter that needs proper attention before the next heavy rain. A subscription plan catches those issues on a regular schedule instead of waiting for them to become expensive problems. That pattern repeats across every block in Kenilworth, and Roman has seen enough of these homes to know exactly where to start.

Services
What we fix in Kenilworth homes
In Kenilworth, the most common handyman calls are Faucet Replacement, Caulking in a Bathroom, Leak Assessment and Fixes, Air filter replacement, and Gutter cleaning & repair. Older North Shore homes — and most Kenilworth homes qualify — also see regular Plumbing Inspections and Garage door spring replacement as original systems age. Seasonal work like Hanging mirrors, shelves, and artwork and Window washing rounds out the year for homeowners who want their homes looking right and running properly across all ZIP 60043 properties. These are not one-off calls — they are recurring items that show up on every maintenance list, every season, in nearly every home we service across the village.
At $184 per month, a FixHome+ subscription covers 12 visits per year — that's $2,208 annually. Compare that against 12 separate handyman calls at $300–$500 each: $3,600 to $6,000. Kenilworth homeowners who stay on a subscription plan spend less and keep their homes in better condition than those who call only when something breaks. Twelve scheduled visits mean problems get caught early. A leaking faucet found in February costs far less to fix than the water damage it causes by June. That difference — early detection versus reactive repair — is exactly what a maintenance subscription delivers.

Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in Kenilworth
Local handymen in Kenilworth can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks, billing runs $300–$500 per job, and there is no system for tracking what has been done or what is coming due. You pay the invoice and start from zero the next time something goes wrong. No record of what was inspected, no reminder when the next seasonal service is due, no single person who knows the full history of your home's maintenance. Each call is its own separate transaction. A handyman who visits 12 times a year, on a predictable schedule, delivers something entirely different — and far more valuable.
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. There is no continuity between visits and no single technician who knows your home. The technician who fixed your bathroom fan last spring has no record of the plumbing inspection that happened six months earlier. You carry that context yourself — or it disappears entirely. Consistency matters in home maintenance, and franchise models are not built to provide it.
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 with older North Shore properties, deferred maintenance has a real cost — one that grows the longer the list sits. A gutter that needs cleaning in October becomes a water intrusion issue by January. Tackling each item one at a time, without a schedule or a consistent set of hands, means the list never actually gets shorter. Most homeowners don't need more tools — they need a reliable plan and someone to execute it.
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.
