Common questions from New Berlin customers
Do you actually service homes in New Berlin?
Yes — New Berlin, Illinois is part of our regular service area. We make the 25-minute drive west from our Springfield headquarters several times a week.
How much does handyman work cost in New Berlin?
Small jobs are phone-quoted at $150 the first hour, $75 each additional hour, with a 1-hour minimum. Bigger projects get a free on-site estimate. Materials are billed at cost + 20%.
Do you wash walls, clean exterior windows, or use tall ladders?
No to all three. Wall washing and exterior window cleaning are not part of our service — both need specialty equipment. We also do not use tall ladders; anything above a 2-step stool is out of scope for crew safety.
How fast can you get to me?
Care Plan members get priority — typically scheduled within 48-72 hours. Non-members get the earliest available slot. Most jobs are completed within a week of booking.
What if my project needs a licensed contractor?
If your project needs a licensed plumber, electrician, or general contractor, we’ll tell you upfront and connect you with a trusted local partner. We don’t pretend to be something we’re not.
Are your handymen background-checked?
Yes — every team member is background-checked and insured. Same crew every visit so you get to know them and they get to know your home.
