Hello Handy vs Casa
Hello Handy is a membership home-maintenance service for San Francisco and the Peninsula, down to Cupertino — foreman-led crews working your list at one published rate ($125/hr, plans from $399/yr). Casa is a real alternative, and the honest answer is that the right choice depends on what you're solving. Here's the comparison, plainly.
What Casa is
Casa (getcasa.com) is a concierge-style home membership: a monthly fee covering a small monthly allowance of handyman time plus concierge help and automated care plans, in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin. "Your home, on autopilot" is their line, and for light-touch coordination it's a fair one.
Side by side
| Hello Handy | Casa | |
|---|---|---|
| The model | A trades-led maintenance service: a foreman-led crew doing real repair work on a schedule, documented with before/after photos every task. | A concierge layer: a lighter monthly hour allowance plus help coordinating chores and vendors. |
| Territory | San Francisco and the Peninsula, down to Cupertino — only. | San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin. |
| Who shows up | Background-checked, foreman-led crews who arrive already briefed by your home record, with vetted licensed subs coordinated when a specialty trade is required. | Their own handymen and concierges, per their site. |
| Pricing | Published on our site: $399/yr Annual with labor at $125/hr, or Handled at $499/mo with 3 crew-hours included monthly (banked up to 9). | Monthly membership with a smaller included-hours allowance; see their site for current pricing. |
| Scope depth | Skilled wood repair — dry rot, decks, siding, trim, wood windows — is the specialty, not a referral. | Everyday tasks and coordination; heavier work goes to vendors. |
The honest bottom line
If what you want is an assistant for the household — someone to receive packages, coordinate vendors, knock out small tasks — Casa's concierge model may fit. If what you want is the house itself kept sound — the dry rot caught early, the deck that stops wobbling, the sash windows that glide again — that's a trades problem, and it's the one we're built and staffed to solve.
Free, no commitment, no credit card — see the difference in person.
