Handyman for seniors
A handyman for the home you plan to stay in.
Hello Handy is a home-maintenance membership for owner-occupied homes across San Francisco and the Peninsula, and it fits older homeowners and the families who help them especially well. One trusted team handles the small aging-in-place jobs — grab bars, handrails, threshold and trip-hazard fixes, better lighting — at $125/hr, coordinated through a single app thread.
One team · one list · one thread
- If it’s not right, we make it right — 30-day callback.
- Fully insured and bonded.
- One published member rate — $125/hr.
The small jobs that keep a long-lived home comfortable
Most of what makes an older home easier to live in is ordinary carpentry done properly, not a renovation. It's the work we do every week:
- Grab bars and handrails mounted into solid backing, not just drywall
- Thresholds smoothed and trip hazards taken down
- Lever handles in place of round knobs
- Brighter lighting, and switches moved within easy reach
- Interior and exterior handrails checked and made solid
- Doors and cabinets adjusted so they open with one hand
No job is too small to put on the list, and nothing gets a strange face at the door — the same foreman-led crew comes back, already knowing the house.
Manageable from another city
A parent stays the homeowner; an adult child can run the practical side from their phone. The membership documents the home once, then everything lives in one app thread — you add a task, see the before-and-after photos, and approve the work, whether you're across town or across the country. When the crew arrives, the home record briefs them, so nobody's on the phone walking a stranger through the house.
When no one's local to notice
If you'd rather the home be watched without anyone having to keep track, Handled ($499/mo) runs it: a seasonal care plan and 3 crew hours a month, banked up to 9, so routine upkeep happens on a schedule and the small stuff gets caught early. Annual Membership ($399/yr) is the lighter option — access plus labor at $125/hr for the work you book.
How the membership works
It starts with one documented walk-through. After that, the home has a record, a master to-do list, and one team booking half- or full-day visits at the published $125/hr member rate — no quotes to chase, no crew to vet each time. See how it works →
