Start With a Paid Membership Fit Visit

The Fit Visit lets you try the selected plan before a handyman subscription begins. You pay the listed plan price and receive its full reserved time.

  1. Send your home details, work list, and preferred plan.
  2. I confirm the route, access, task fit, and visit date.
  3. During the visit, I review the list and complete the best-fit work inside the reserved time.
  4. If we both approve membership, the Fit Visit counts as visit one of the three-visit starting term.
  5. If either side decides it is not a fit, there is no subscription and no further visit commitment.

Request a Paid Fit Visit

Included With Every Plan

  • One reserved visit each month
  • The same owner at each visit
  • A written work plan before work starts
  • Protection for floors and nearby surfaces
  • A short completion and next-step update

The goal is steady progress without restarting the booking process each month.

Quoted Separately

Membership is built for planned interior upkeep. Separate pricing applies to:

  • Full repainting and renovation work
  • Exterior or weather-based projects
  • Unsafe ladder or roof access
  • Licensed trade work
  • Large or multi-day jobs

I confirm any separate scope and price before that work begins.

How Reserved Handyman Visits Work

  1. You send the work list before the visit.
  2. I confirm the order, needed materials, and what is likely to fit.
  3. Floors and nearby surfaces are protected.
  4. Work is completed inside the plan's reserved time.
  5. You receive a short update on completed work and next steps.

Reserved time includes setup, protection, work, and reset. This keeps each monthly handyman visit planned and consistent.
