What is Handyman Division?
Handyman Division provides practical home services for repairs, installations, assembly, maintenance, and other approved small household projects. We also offer The Task Force, our membership for recurring household upkeep.
What types of handyman projects do you accept?
We handle a range of approved small home projects, including installations, assembly, minor repairs, maintenance, painting and finishing, and certain exterior or surface-care work. Service availability depends on the scope, condition, materials, access, and location.
How do I request handyman service?
Send us photos of the work, a short description, and your Chicago ZIP code. We’ll review the scope and let you know whether we can take the project and what the next step is.
How is handyman work priced?
Regular handyman projects are reviewed and quoted separately based on the scope of work, materials, access, and other project requirements. The Task Force membership has its own fixed membership price.
What is The Task Force Membership?
The Task Force is Handyman Division’s scheduled home-upkeep membership for small but important household tasks that are easy to postpone.
How much does The Task Force cost?
The Task Force membership is $75 every six months and includes one 75-minute visit during each six-month membership period.
What tasks are included with The Task Force?
Current approved tasks include: 1. HVAC air-filter replacement, 2. Bathroom fixture upkeep, 3. Smoke Alarm/CO Detector battery replacement, 4. Lightbulb replacement, 5. Picture or lightweight décor hanging, 6. One door handle-and-deadbolt replacement per visit.
How does the 75-minute visit work?
Your membership includes one scheduled 75-minute Task Force visit during each six-month membership period. We work through your approved requested tasks during the available visit time.
Can I request more than one Task Force task during my visit?
Yes. You can request multiple approved Task Force tasks. What can be completed depends on the available 75 minutes, task conditions, access, and the work required.
Are replacement products and materials included?
The membership covers the scheduled 75-minute visit. Standard mounting screws and anchors for approved picture and lightweight décor hanging are included. Filters, batteries, bulbs, detector units, door hardware, and any special mounting hardware or replacement products are charged separately.
Can Handyman Division supply the products or materials?
Yes. When appropriate, we can source approved replacement products or materials for an additional charge. You may also provide compatible products yourself.
What if I need work outside the Task Force services?
Send us the details. If the work fits our regular handyman services, we can review it separately and provide a quote. Task Force membership does not include additional handyman repairs or projects.
Do I need to send photos before my appointment?
Yes, whenever possible. Photos help us confirm the task, identify potential materials or products needed, and arrive better prepared for the visit.
What areas do you serve?
Handyman Division currently serves select Chicago neighborhoods. Send us your ZIP code when requesting service so we can confirm availability.
Does someone need to be home during the visit?
Yes. An adult must be present during the scheduled service visit and provide clear access to the approved work areas.
What types of work do you not perform?
We do not accept every project. Work requiring specialized licensing, permits, major construction, extensive remodeling, unsafe access, or work outside our current capabilities may be declined. We review each request before confirming service.
How do I cancel or manage my Task Force membership?
Contact Handyman Division if you need to make changes to your membership. Cancellation and membership changes are subject to the current Task Force membership terms.
