Kelli S. – Gurnee

What a great experience working with Greg! He was quick to respond, right on time, & super courteous. He did an amazing job of wall mounting our large TV!

Mike R. – Libertyville

Needed a TV mounted above the fireplace and shelves in the garage. They showed up on time, did both perfectly, and cleaned up everything. Great team!

Tom S. – Lake Villa

Turned over a rental unit—full paint, new flooring in the bathroom, and small repairs. They got it done quickly and ready to rent right away.

David K. – Vernon Hills

They assembled a big IKEA bed frame and installed smart locks on our doors. Everything works great and they were patient with my questions. Solid service.

Lisa P. – Mundelein

Had a bunch of minor interior fixes: outlets, trim touch-ups, and a ceiling fan. Fast, no mess, and everything’s perfect now. These guys know what they’re doing.

Emily T. – Grayslake

We had them refresh our powder room — new vanity, mirror, lighting, and paint. It looks amazing and only took two days. Highly recommend HomeHero!

LAKE COUNTY'S MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHandyman Questions & Answers

Do You Have Questions?

A HomeHero handyman will arrive at your home in a branded shirt with his own tools. We thoroughly screen each of our handymen and contractors to ensure you can trust the person entering your home. Additionally, all of our HomeHeros are well skilled and experienced for all of your home projects. We will arrive on time and ready to work!

>
How soon can I expect HomeHero to begin working?

Once you’ve scheduled your initial consultation, you can expect to see one of our HomeHeros within 24 hours. The next timeline depends on how quickly we confirm the service agreement. Once the service agreement is finalized, we aim to schedule jobs to begin within 1 week.

>
How do I pay, and do you require a deposit?

HomeHero accepts various payment methods for our services, including cash, credit/debit cards, checks (for existing customers), Venmo, Zelle and online payments. We aim to make the payment process as convenient as possible for our customers.

We only require a deposit for costly materials (especially orders for doors, windows, flooring, paint, and others), if the cost is more than $500.

Any refunds after materials have been purchased will require a 20% return fee, depending on the supply company’s policies.

 

>
Do I need to provide tools or materials?
No tools are needed from you — our HomeHeros arrive fully equipped. For materials, we provide minor items (screws, spackle, primer, etc.). For major fixtures, toilets, locks, lights, paint, decor, etc., customers typically supply them to match preferences, or we can source and supply them at cost + 20% markup (quoted upfront).
>
Do I need to be there for the work to be performed?

It is not necessary, but we prefer to have a designated adult onsite for at least the initial meeting to review the scope of the job, expectations, and payment. If you are unable to be home, you may arrange for us to gain access to your property and to lock it after we leave. If you are out-of-state, we can email you pictures of the finished job, along with the invoice. We do ask that payment is made upon completion. As always, we will treat your home with the utmost respect and care.

What is the difference between a contractor and a handyman?

A handyman is perfect for small to medium-sized tasks like repairs and maintenance. For large, complex projects requiring specialized skills and permits, a licensed contractor will be needed.

>
What type of services require a permit?

Building permits are required for most home improvement projects except for those that are purely cosmetic such as painting and flooring. Generally, structural work to your property requires a permit. This includes decks, patios, balconies, and roofing. Additionally, electrical work, rewiring, and plumbing may necessitate a permit. HomeHero can help you with determining which projects require a permit and the process to obtain one.
