People search for “handyman packages” because paying a trip charge for one small fix feels wrong — and it is. The smart way to buy handyman work is by the visit: one trip, one crew, a planned list, and the cost spread across everything on it. Think of it like a grocery run — nobody drives to the store for one egg. Here's how our packages work, who each one fits, and how to squeeze the most out of a visit.
A focused half day on the honey-do list — typically a handful of small items: the sticking door, the cracked caulk, the fixture in the garage still in its box (we see you — everyone has one), the towel bar that never got anchored right. This is the package for the list that's been growing since spring and has started reproducing.
Who it fits: homeowners with 4–8 small nagging items, and anyone prepping a guest room, a party, or a listing photo shoot.
A full day, prioritized together in advance. This is the workhorse for pre-listing punch-outs (pair it with our inspection repair service), post-move-in lists, and rental turnovers. We sequence the day so the messy work happens first and everything gets finished, not just started — the difference between a crew with a plan and a crew with a radio.
Who it fits: sellers, new buyers, landlords between tenants, and anyone whose list stopped fitting on one page.
Monthly maintenance visits for homes and rentals — the same crew who already knows your house, which quirky door swells in July, and where the water shutoff hides — plus the annual fall winterization visit: gutters, caulk, weatherstripping, spigots, and draft checks before the first hard freeze. If you like this idea taken all the way, that's exactly what our Home Care Plan was built for: four seasonal visits a year, $99/month, cancel anytime.
Who it fits: busy households, out-of-town landlords, and anyone who'd rather prevent the 2 a.m. emergency than fund it.
It almost always does — lists grow the moment someone's actually coming. But if it's genuinely short, we'll tell you and quote just the items. No padding.
The quote covers the list, not the clock — that's the point of written pricing. We sequence honestly and tell you up front if a list is bigger than the day.
Yes — materials get built into the written quote at actual cost. Or supply your own; plenty of customers enjoy the shopping half and delegate the ladder half.
Constantly — turnovers are half our punch-list work. Multi-unit owners get one point of contact and batched pricing.
Every package is quoted exactly like everything else we do: free, written, one clear number for your list — usually within 24–48 hours. No hourly meter, no surprise charges, and if we finish your list early, we'll ask what else has been bugging you. The full explanation lives on our pricing page.
