My Handyman Express serves Chicago and Chicagoland from our Hyde Park office — handyman repairs, property maintenance plans, kitchen and bath remodels, and ADU conversions. Licensed, 5.0-star rated, open 7 days a week, 8 AM–10 PM.
Chicago's housing stock is among the oldest in the country — the metro's median home was built in 1973, and the median age has climbed to 53 years. Older buildings mean aging electrical, plumbing, roofs, and envelopes, plus freeze-thaw winters that punish masonry and seals year after year.
Layered on top, the city's ADU ordinance that took effect April 1, 2026 has opened a new category of interior conversion work — basement and attic apartments — in exactly the neighborhoods where MHE operates. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive ones, and smart conversions add income-producing units to existing buildings.
My Handyman Express brings 34+ years of combined experience to this market, working under an active City of Chicago Class E general contractor license (TGC114003) held by Altus Builders Company LLC. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, HOAs, and investors across the city and suburbs.
