The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Palatine home
Palatine 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 Palatine homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Palatine handyman
Roman handles every job in this service area. He brings 10+ years working on NW Chicago suburbs homes — a full-time operation built around this specific housing stock. He runs the same routes week after week and has mapped the common failure points in Palatine construction: the caulk lines that crack after winter, the faucets that start leaking at the aerator, the garage door tracks that need cleaning twice a year, and the dryer vents that get ignored until the appliance overheats. He shows up knowing what to look for, what to fix on the spot, and what to flag for the next visit. The app logs every visit, records completed tasks, and tracks flagged items — so when you book the next visit, Roman already knows what was done and what was deferred.
Serving all of Palatine
FixHome+ covers Palatine (60067, 60073) and nearby Inverness (60010, 60067), Arlington Heights (60004, 60005, 60006, 60007), Kildeer (60047, 60071), Deer Park (60015), and Prospect Heights (60070).
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes here and in 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 in this area. Palatine homes span a range of construction types — ranch-style builds from the 1960s and 1970s, larger two-story colonials from the 1980s and 1990s, and newer infill and townhome development closer to downtown. Each type has a distinct maintenance profile. Older builds need more attention to plumbing, caulking, and weatherproofing. Newer construction surfaces smart home and fixture installation requests. Roman has worked across all of it.

Services
What we fix in Palatine homes
The most common calls here are Furniture assembly, Caulking and grouting, Leak Assessment and Fixes, TV Mounting and Installation, and Air filter replacement. These are routine items that sit on every homeowner's list and never get done because scheduling a one-off handyman for each one makes no financial sense. A subscription changes that math. Every one of these jobs gets batched into a single visit, handled in sequence, and crossed off for good.
Older homes in the 60067 and 60073 ZIP codes also see regular Faucet Replacement and Dryer vent cleaning as original plumbing and mechanical systems reach end of life. Faucets from the 1980s fail quietly: a slow drip, a stiff handle, an aerator that no longer clears. Dryer vents accumulate lint faster in homes with long duct runs, and most homeowners do not know the vent needs cleaning until the dryer stops working. Both show up on nearly every home walkthrough Roman does, and a scheduled visit catches them for a fraction of what an emergency replacement runs.
Seasonal work — Gutter cleaning & repair and Outlet and Switch Replacement — rounds out the year. Gutters need attention in fall before the first hard freeze and again in spring after debris from winter accumulates. A blocked gutter in Palatine January causes ice dam formation, water intrusion, and foundation drainage problems that compound through the season. Outlets and switches in older homes show wear that accumulates over decades. A scheduled inspection catches failing components before they become a safety concern. The subscription covers all of it, across all service categories, without a separate invoice for each call.

Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in Palatine
Local handymen in Palatine can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks. Billing runs $300–$500 per job, and there is no way to track what has been done or what is coming next. Every call starts from zero: a new quote, a new scheduling window, a technician who has never seen your house. You explain the problem. They diagnose from scratch. If something comes up outside the original scope, the price changes. No log of prior work, no maintenance history, no follow-up unless you initiate it. That is how deferred maintenance grows — one disconnected handyman call at a time.
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. The technician rotation means you never build a relationship with one person who actually knows your property. Repeat visits carry no institutional knowledge. The franchise tracks its invoices — it does not track your home's maintenance status. If you call back six months later with a related issue, you are starting the diagnostic process over again with someone who has never been to your address.
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. The real cost is the jobs that stay undone because there is never a good Saturday for it. Deferred maintenance compounds: a small caulk gap becomes a water intrusion issue, a slow faucet drip becomes a cabinet replacement, a gutter that needed cleaning in October becomes a drainage problem in March. FixHome+ solves all three problems with one structure — one handyman assigned to your address, a fixed monthly rate, a visit schedule that runs automatically, and a maintenance log in the app. Roman covers the Palatine area on a consistent schedule, notices when something has changed between visits, and brings the full history of your home into every appointment. One-off calls, franchise rotations, and a rolling to-do list don't build that continuity.
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.
