What a Handyman Package Actually Gets You

Installations & Assembly

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. Here's how our packages work.

The Half-Day List Knockout

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, the towel bar that never got anchored right. This is the package for the list that's been growing since spring.

Who it fits: homeowners with 4–8 small nagging items, and anyone prepping a guest room, a party, or a listing photo shoot.

The Full-Day Punch List

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.

Who it fits: sellers, new buyers, landlords between tenants, and anyone whose list stopped fitting on one page.

Recurring & Seasonal

Monthly maintenance visits for homes and rentals — the same crew who already knows your house — plus the annual fall winterization visit: gutters, caulk, weatherstripping, spigots, and draft checks before the first hard freeze.

Who it fits: busy households, out-of-town landlords, and anyone who'd rather prevent the 2 a.m. emergency than fund it.

How the pricing works (no games)

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.
