The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Riverwoods home
Riverwoods 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 Riverwoods homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Riverwoods handyman
Roman handles Riverwoods jobs. 10+ years on NW Chicago suburbs homes. He knows these properties: the builds, the seasonal wear patterns, and the repairs that come up year after year in this area. When you book through the FixHome+ app, you get Roman — not whoever happened to be available that morning. Same handyman, same home, every visit. That consistency matters when you are tracking what has been fixed, what is next, and what to watch over the coming months. Roman is both the founder and the lead technician.
Serving all of Riverwoods
FixHome+ covers Riverwoods (60077) and nearby Deerfield (60015, 60093), Wheeling (60090, 60095), Lincolnshire (60069), Northbrook (60062, 60065), and Buffalo Grove (60089, 60090). Every visit is booked through the app — no phone calls, no waiting on hold. Subscribers in Riverwoods get priority slots, and most new members are in within 48 hours of their first booking. The same subscription covers every property in the service area at the same $184/month rate.
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Riverwoods 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. The homes in this part of Lake County vary. Some are older builds with original plumbing and fixtures that need regular attention. Others are newer construction where the priority is keeping systems running and preventing small issues from becoming large ones. Roman has worked on both. A home in this area sees real winter stress on doors, seals, gutters, and mechanical systems. The subscription model works because a handyman who visits 12 times per year learns your home in a way that a one-off call never can.

Services
What we fix in Riverwoods homes
In Riverwoods, the most common calls are Leak Assessment and Fixes, Faucet Replacement, Outlet and Switch Replacement, Patching and paint touch-ups, and TV Mounting and Installation. Older homes also see regular Dryer vent cleaning and Caulking in a Bathroom as original plumbing and fixtures reach end of life. Seasonal work — Gutter cleaning & repair — rounds out the year across all Riverwoods ZIP codes.
These are not one-off tasks. They are the same services that come up every year for local homeowners. A subscription means they get handled on a schedule — not after something has already failed. FixHome+ handles 70+ services across every major category: minor electrical, minor plumbing, interior maintenance, smart home installation, and exterior upkeep. The subscription model means your handyman already knows the home and tracks what has been done, so nothing slips through.
See the complete list of 70+ services — from TV Mounting and Installation to Grab Bars Installation — on our full service list.

Testimonials
We used FixHome+ handyman services when we lived in the Chicago suburbs, and honestly, after moving to another state, this is one of the services we miss the most.
Having a reliable handyman service ...
I decided to try a FixHome+ service because of an app and booked a demo visit. Roman showed up and quickly assessed the tasks I needed help with.
He quickly fixed a towel rack that had been unstable ...
Awesome experience. I booked a demo visit through their app. Roman arrived a few minutes before my appointment. He started the visit by addressing the issue I had logged in the app and resolved it ...
Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in Riverwoods
Local handymen in Riverwoods 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.
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.
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.
