Northbrook, IL

The cost

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

Northbrook 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 Northbrook homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your local technician

Roman handles jobs throughout the area. He brings 10+ years working on NW Chicago suburbs homes. Roman knows which repairs come back if left halfway done, and he tracks every visit in the app so nothing falls through the cracks. He builds a running maintenance history for each home — so by visit three, he already knows where the weak points are and what seasonal work is coming. Homeowners who work with the same person year-round spend less time sourcing help and more time knowing their home is covered.

Serving all of the area

FixHome+ covers the 60062 and 60065 ZIP codes and nearby Deerfield (60015, 60093), Riverwoods (60077), Glencoe (60022), Glenview (60025, 60026, 60027, 60079, 60089), and Highland Park (60035, 60043, 60083).

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

FixHome+ has worked on homes across this service 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. He can walk through a property and identify the things most likely to become a service call within the next six months — before they do.

Services

What we fix in Northbrook homes

In this service area, the most common calls are TV Mounting and Installation, Faucet Replacement, Gutter cleaning & repair, Outlet and Switch Replacement, and Patching and paint touch-ups. Older homes also see regular Plumbing Inspections and Dryer vent cleaning as original plumbing reaches end of life. Seasonal work — Air filter replacement — rounds out the year across all ZIP codes served.

A FixHome+ subscription means those seasonal tasks get scheduled automatically through the app, not remembered after something fails. Roman reviews your home's maintenance history before each visit and flags what's coming next. That forward-looking approach turns a reactive repair list into a proactive home plan, and it's included in the subscription at no extra cost.

Beyond the core repair work, subscribers frequently request Grab Bars Installation, Door Lock Installation, and smart home services like Install or Replace & check smart thermostats. These installations take 20–45 minutes each and are the kind of job that sits undone for months when you're paying one-off rates. Under a subscription, they get folded into the next scheduled visit. No separate booking, no separate invoice.

Many subscribers start the free visit expecting a few quick fixes. By the end, Roman has walked the property, completed two or three items on the spot, and built out a twelve-month service calendar. That calendar drives every future visit, so the work stays organized and nothing gets bumped indefinitely.

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 Northbrook

Local providers here 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 visit starts from scratch — no history, no continuity, no plan.

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.

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. Handing those items off frees up that time — and gets them done right.

FixHome+ sells continuity. Roman, visiting your home twelve times in a year, catches problems earlier, works faster, and builds a maintenance history that a first-time visitor simply cannot have.

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.
