Winnetka, IL

The cost

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

Winnetka 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 Winnetka homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your Winnetka handyman

Roman handles Winnetka jobs. He has been working on homes across the NW Chicago suburbs for more than ten years. On the North Shore specifically, Roman knows what older construction demands: the original plumbing that runs long past its expected lifespan, the exterior wood that takes a beating through Illinois winters, and the interior finishes that owners in Winnetka actually care about. You get a handyman who shows up with context, not just a tool bag. 

Serving all of Winnetka

FixHome+ covers Winnetka (60093) and nearby Glencoe (60022), Wilmette (60091), Northbrook (60062, 60065), and Evanston (60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208). Subscribers across all these ZIP codes get the same flat monthly rate and the same priority booking through the app.

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

Roman has been in these North Shore neighborhoods long enough to know how the houses were built, what fails first, and what seasonal upkeep actually requires. Winnetka homes carry older plumbing, original windows, and exterior woodwork that needs consistent attention — emergency calls after something goes wrong are never the plan. That kind of familiarity doesn't come from a contractor marketplace or a weekend Craigslist search. Roman already knows the property when he shows up. That matters when the list of things a home needs is longer than a single service call can ever touch.

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 Winnetka

Local handymen in Winnetka can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks of searching. Billing runs $300–$500 per job with no record of what has been done or what is coming next. For a home with as much ongoing maintenance as most Winnetka properties carry, that gap compounds. Every deferred repair adds to the next invoice. Homeowners end up spending more per year than a subscription costs — and still have no continuity between visits.

Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. But you are still paying by the hour, and who shows up still depends on who is available that day. No continuity between visits. The handyman who fixed a leak last spring has no memory of the home when you call back in the fall. Re-explaining the property every time, slower diagnosis, and no proactive maintenance — just reactive repair at full hourly rates.

DIY works until it does not. The tools accumulate, the weekends disappear, and the back half of the list has not moved in months. Most homeowners in Winnetka have no shortage of projects — what they are missing is a reliable handyman and the time to track one down. The opportunity cost of a full Saturday on a single repair is real, and it adds up across a year of deferred work.

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.
