Contact your Home Manager to arrange a service. This can be done by phone, email, or through the app.

How much do the on demand services cost?

Hello Handy provides you with a flat rate of $99/hour for all labor. We think this takes the guesswork out of getting service. Parts & Materials cost extra if the work falls outside of your included maintenance plan.

Are parts and materials included?

Materials such as filters, batteries, and light bulbs are included for standard and commonly available products. Specific parts related to repairs of broken items will be ordered and charged for separately. Parts and materials for handyman projects or other emergency issues that may arise are not included.

We have licensed general contractors, electricians, and plumbers on staff. If you have projects requiring permits and approvals with the city we can help you get those projects done. Pricing will be quoted independently per project.

What should I expect during my first appointment?

During your first appointment, your technician will perform a thorough home checkup, evaluating all of your major systems, document all your appliances, and perform any other routine maintenance possible to be completed during that visit. The appointment generally takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of your home.
