Our Mission: Restoring Trust in Home Services

Hi, I'm Craig, founder of Northern Illinois Handyman. I started this company because I saw too many homeowners getting burned by unreliable contractors—missed appointments, poor work, surprise charges. I knew there had to be a better way.

Our mission is simple: bring integrity back to home services. That means showing up when we say we will, doing the job right the first time, and charging exactly what we quoted. No games, no excuses, just honest work from people who genuinely care about your home.

We're your neighbors. We live in these communities, our kids go to these schools, we shop at these stores. When we do great work, we see you at the grocery store. When we mess up, we own it and make it right. That local accountability keeps us honest and motivated to be the best.

At Northern Illinois Handyman, we don't just complete jobs. We build lasting relationships and help you create the home you've always dreamed of.

OUR COMMITMENTS

The Promises We Keep

These aren't just words on a website—they're the commitments we make to every customer, every project, every day.

🤝

Keep Our Word

We show up when we say we will, do what we promise, and charge what we quoted. Your trust is everything to us, and we protect it fiercely.

🎯

Do It Right

No shortcuts, no corners cut. Every project gets our full attention and professional craftsmanship—because your home deserves nothing less.

🏘️

Serve Our Community

We're your neighbors, not a national chain. When we do great work, our community thrives. That local connection keeps us accountable and motivated.

💯

Make It Right

Mistakes happen. When they do, we own them and fix them—no excuses, no runaround. We're not satisfied until you're completely happy.
