What We Provide
From emergency repairs to full unit turnovers to preventive maintenance plans — one contractor, one point of contact, one standard of quality.
One call covers repairs, plumbing, electrical, painting, flooring, and carpentry. No coordinating six different contractors — we handle everything.
Full turnover coordination: paint, flooring, repairs, cleaning coordination, and appliance installation. Average moderate-condition turnover: 4–7 days.
Quarterly or semi-annual scheduled inspections catch issues before they compound. Maintenance plan clients average 22% lower annual repair costs.
Maintenance plan clients receive priority scheduling, next-business-day response for standard requests, and same-day response for urgent issues.
Every project starts with a written scope and flat-rate quote. No surprise invoices, no hourly creep. You know the cost before work begins.
Class E contractor license, comprehensive liability insurance, and workers' comp on all employees and subcontractors. RLTO-compliant work on every job.
Unit Turnovers
Every day a unit sits vacant costs you rent. My Handyman Express provides single-vendor turnover services that eliminate the coordination overhead of managing multiple contractors — and get your unit back on the market faster.
Typical timelines: Light wear: 2–4 days · Moderate wear: 4–7 days · Heavy wear: 7–14 days
We walk the unit before move-out to scope the work and schedule trades immediately on vacancy day.
Work begins the day the tenant vacates. No waiting for contractor availability.
Paint, flooring, repairs, and cleaning coordination handled by one team. No handoff gaps between trades.
We provide a written summary of all work completed, with photos, for your records.
Maintenance Plans
Reactive maintenance is expensive. A $150 caulk repair ignored for 12 months becomes a $1,200 tile and subfloor repair. Our maintenance plans catch issues before they compound — and keep your properties RLTO-compliant year-round.
RLTO Compliance
Chicago's Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance gives tenants strong remedies for maintenance failures — including rent withholding and repair-and-deduct. My Handyman Express ensures your properties meet RLTO standards with documented, code-compliant repairs.
