The cost
Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Wilmette home
Wilmette 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 Wilmette homeowners trust FixHome+
Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman
Meet your Wilmette handyman
Roman handles every Wilmette job. He has spent more than ten years working on homes across the NW Chicago suburbs, and the North Shore housing stock is familiar territory: older construction, aging plumbing, wood trim that moves with the seasons, and exterior details that lake-effect weather works on year-round. When you book through the FixHome+ app, you get the same handyman each visit — not whoever is available that day. Roman tracks what has been fixed, what is coming due, and what to watch. That continuity makes every subsequent handyman visit faster and more useful than the last.
Serving all of Wilmette
FixHome+ covers Wilmette (60091) and nearby Winnetka (60093), Evanston (60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208), Glencoe (60022), and Glenview (60025, 60026, 60027, 60079, 60089).
Over a decade in the same neighborhoods
FixHome+ has worked on homes in Wilmette 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. Older homes carry specific patterns — grout lines that separate, exterior seals that degrade faster near the lake, and plumbing fittings installed decades before current standards. Knowing those patterns before a call goes out is not something a contractor marketplace can offer. That institutional knowledge is part of every handyman visit, not an upsell.

Services
What we fix in Wilmette homes
In Wilmette, the most common handyman calls are Caulking and grouting, Leak Assessment and Fixes, Gutter cleaning & repair, Outlet and Switch Replacement, and Dryer vent cleaning. Older homes also see regular Plumbing Inspections and Exterior walk-around for water or pest signs as original systems reach end of life. Seasonal and finishing work — Hanging mirrors, shelves, and artwork — rounds out the year across all Wilmette ZIP codes.
These handyman services cover the full cycle of home maintenance: sealing and protecting against water intrusion, keeping electrical and plumbing running, and handling the finishing work that makes a home functional and presentable. A subscription puts all of it under one plan, one rate, and one technician who already knows the property. Compare that against calling a different provider for each category — a plumber for the leak, an electrician for the outlet, a painter for the wall patch. The subscription consolidates those calls into a single monthly relationship. The entire city is covered under a single ZIP code (60091), which means every one of these services is available with no coverage gaps and no eligibility questions when booking through the app.

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 Wilmette
Local handymen in Wilmette can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks, billing is $300–$500 per job, and there's no record of what's been done or what's coming next. For a home with aging systems, that gap between calls costs more than the invoice. The reactive model — call when it breaks — is not a plan. It's a pattern that compounds. A subscription eliminates that gap entirely.
Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. But you're still paying hourly, and who shows up still varies. Consistency in Wilmette's older housing stock requires someone who already knows the property. A different handyman every visit means starting from zero every time. The subscription model gives you the same technician, the same property knowledge, and the same rate on every visit.
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. Wilmette homes reward consistent upkeep — deferred maintenance on grout, gutters, and exterior seals compounds faster than most homeowners expect. A subscription keeps the list moving. When a repair exceeds what a handyman should handle alone, FixHome+ coordinates with vetted contractors through the app so the work still gets done without a separate search.
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.
