Why a plan?

Reactive handyman calls cost more, take longer, and stress everybody out. A plan turns “panic” into “scheduled.”

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Stop the panic calls

Catch dripping faucets, loose handrails, and failing seals before they become floods, falls, or rot.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Lower rate on bigger jobs

Plan members get 5โ€“15% off labor on project work. Adds up fast across a year of repairs.

โšก

Booked first

Members get scheduled in 48โ€“72 hours. Non-members usually wait several days.

A care plan is right for you if…

  • โœ“You own your home (renters: talk to your landlord)
  • โœ“Your house is 10+ years old and has accumulated a “honey-do list”
  • โœ“You’re busy and would rather have someone just handle it than research handymen at 10pm
  • โœ“You’d rather pay $79โ€“$279 predictably each month than $500+ when something breaks unexpectedly

Choose your plan

No long-term contract. Cancel anytime. First month prorated.

If your house has 2+ hours of fixes a month, a plan pays for itself before counting the labor discount on bigger projects.

Common questions

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No fee, no contract. Monthly billing via card on file. If you cancel mid-month, your last visit is yours to use within 14 days.

What if I don’t use my monthly minutes?

Hours don’t roll over โ€” they reset each month. We’d rather come do an hour of preventive work than have you skip the visit. We text you if it’s been 3 weeks and we haven’t booked.

What if I need more than my monthly hours?

The labor discount kicks in. 5% / 10% / 15% off any extra work depending on your tier. Bigger jobs get a written estimate and Wisetack financing.

Do you handle emergencies?

No. Real emergencies (active leak, gas smell, electrical danger) go to 911, a licensed plumber, or a licensed electrician. Plan members get priority booking on non-emergency repairs โ€” typically 48โ€“72 hours.

How fast do you respond on non-emergencies?

Plan members are scheduled first โ€” typical lead time 48โ€“72 hours. Non-members usually wait several days.

Do you cover [a specific thing]?

Probably. Call 217-638-0403 or text. If it’s outside plan scope we refer you to a trusted local trade.

How do I sign up?

Pick a plan above. We’ll send a short intake form and call you within 4 hours to schedule your first visit.
