The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your South Barrington home
South 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.
Home Harmony
One sump pump replacement runs $200–$400. Book two in a year and the subscription's covered itself.
Why us
Why South Barrington homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your South Barrington handyman
Roman handles South Barrington jobs. He brings 10+ years working on NW Chicago suburbs homes. Every job is logged in the app so you always know what has been done and what is scheduled next. No calls, no guessing — open the app and see the full record for your property. Roman is the founder and lead technician. He built FixHome+ because he watched homeowners burn through $400 invoices on repairs that should have cost half that, with no record of what was done and no plan for what came next. The subscription model fixes all three problems at once.
Serving all of South Barrington
FixHome+ covers South Barrington (60080) and nearby Hoffman Estates (60192, 60195, 60196, 60197), Schaumburg (60173, 60178, 60185, 60187, 60188, 60189, 60194, 60195), Inverness (60010, 60067), Palatine (60067, 60073), and Barrington (60010, 60011). One subscription covers the whole corridor. Subscribers in any of these ZIP codes get the same flat monthly rate, priority scheduling, and app-based booking. No extra fees for location, no rate variation between neighborhoods.
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in South Barrington 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 knowledge shortens every visit. Fewer return trips means less time out of your day and a home that stays ahead of problems instead of chasing them.

Services
What we fix in South Barrington homes
In South Barrington, the most common calls are Dryer vent cleaning, Outlet and Switch Replacement, TV Mounting and Installation, Faucet Replacement, and Gutter cleaning & repair. Older homes also see regular Air filter replacement and Caulking in a Bathroom as original systems reach end of life. Seasonal work — Garage door maintenance and exterior walkthroughs — rounds out the year across all South Barrington ZIP codes.
Every service is booked through the app. You pick the time, Roman shows up, the job gets logged. No back-and-forth, no coordination tax on your end. FixHome+ subscribers in 60080 build up a full documented record of every handyman visit: what was done, when it was done, and what is flagged for the next visit. That record travels with the property and makes future repair decisions faster.
The math is direct: a FixHome+ subscription runs $184/month, or $2,208/year. Twelve equivalent one-off handyman visits at $300–$500 each runs $3,600–$6,000 per year. The subscription costs less, covers more, and eliminates the two-week search every time something breaks. It also covers 70+ services — from routine dryer vent cleaning and faucet inspection to exterior maintenance and seasonal setup — so there's no additional line item every time a new task comes up.

Comparison
FixHome+ vs. the other options in South Barrington
Local handymen in South Barrington 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. Every time something breaks, you're starting the search over from scratch. No record, no plan, no continuity between visits. When the same faucet leaks again six months later, you're back at zero with a different person who has never seen your home.
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. No log of past work, no scheduled follow-through, and the same billing structure that made the original handyman search expensive in the first place. The brand is consistent. The technician and the outcome are not always.
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. A subscription clears that backlog. The work gets done, the home stays maintained, and your time goes somewhere else. Subscribers report clearing six-month to-do lists inside the first two visits.
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.
