The cost

Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your North Barrington home

North Barrington 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 North Barrington homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your North Barrington handyman

Roman is the founder and lead handyman for North Barrington. He handles jobs here himself — not a dispatched crew, not a subcontractor. With 10+ years on homes in the NW Chicago suburbs, he knows what these properties need before the season changes. When you book through the app, you get Roman — the same person every visit, building a running record of your home so nothing slips through the cracks between appointments. That consistency matters on older homes where knowing what has been repaired and what is still pending makes each visit run faster. No re-explaining the same issue to a different face each time. Roman already knows the house when he arrives.

Serving all of North Barrington

FixHome+ covers North Barrington (60010) and nearby Lake Barrington (60010, 60084), Barrington (60010, 60011), Lake Zurich (60047, 60077), Deer Park (60015), and Hawthorn Woods (60047). One subscription covers your property no matter where you are in the service area. If you move within the coverage zone or need repair and maintenance at a second address, the plan travels with you. Same technician, same app, flat pricing — no re-enrollment, no new fees, no gap in coverage.

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

FixHome+ has worked on homes in this community 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. That track record means fewer surprises and faster fixes on every visit. Homes in this area share a set of common maintenance patterns — older exterior trim that needs seasonal attention, sump systems that work hard in spring, and garage hardware that wears faster than homeowners expect. Roman has seen all of it and schedules proactively, not reactively. The result is a home that gets maintained on a calendar, not repaired in a panic — and a homeowner who stops dreading the next invoice.

Services

What we fix in North Barrington homes

In North Barrington, the most common calls are Gutter cleaning & repair, Garage door spring replacement, Basement Sump Pump Replacement, Patching and paint touch-ups, and Animal holes fixing. Older homes also see regular Leak Assessment and Fixes, and Faucet Replacement as original plumbing ages. Seasonal work — Pressure wash siding — rounds out the year across all North Barrington ZIP codes. Every one of those is a standard subscription call covered under the plan. Properties here tend to carry a full seasonal maintenance list: gutters need clearing after leaf drop, sump pumps need inspection before spring runoff, and exterior surfaces take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles. A subscription means those items get scheduled and completed, not deferred until they become emergencies. Roman tracks what was done on each visit and flags what is coming up next, so the home stays ahead of the repair curve instead of chasing it. A FixHome+ subscription is a different structure than a one-off call — and it is why homeowners here renew rather than return to the break-fix cycle. The app makes it simple: book, track, and plan the next visit without a phone call.

Comparison

FixHome+ vs. the other options in North Barrington

Local handymen in North Barrington can be skilled, but finding a reliable one takes two to three weeks. Billing lands at $300–$500 per job, and there is no system to track what has been done or what is due next. Every call starts from scratch, and the cost adds up fast when the home needs consistent attention across the year. Run the math: 12 handyman visits at standard local rates runs $3,600–$6,000 annually. A FixHome+ subscription runs $2,208 for the same 12 visits, with no trip charges and no scheduling gap between jobs. That is a savings of $1,400–$3,800 per year, plus a single technician who knows your home and shows up without the two-week wait.

Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. You are still paying hourly, and what you get still depends on who shows up that day. No continuity, no running record of your home, no technician who knows your property from one visit to the next. The handyman who fixed your faucet last March has no idea the garage door spring has been grinding since October. A subscription with a single operator closes that gap entirely — and removes the coordination overhead that makes home maintenance feel like a part-time job for homeowners throughout the service area.

DIY works until it does not. The tools add up, the weekends disappear, and half the projects on the list have not moved in months. Some repairs are straightforward — and some turn into something larger the moment you pull a fixture or open a panel. For North Barrington homeowners who want weekends back and a home that is actually maintained, a subscription is a better trade than a growing list of deferred repairs. Roman walks the property on the free 45-minute visit, handles a few items on the spot, and builds out a full maintenance plan so nothing new gets added to that list in the first place.

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.
