Handyman

A plan you never have to remember.

Preventative maintenance, actually kept up. Handyman holds the calendar: what is due, what the season is about to bring, what is still covered and what is getting old. You get the nudge, not the bill.

Built from your own house.

Upkeep only works if the plan is yours. This is not a checklist written for a generic home. Every item comes off something already on record, with the sizes and the dates that belong to it.

1It reads your houseThe furnace, the gutters, the alarms and the rest of what is already on record.
2It builds the planWith your sizes and your dates, not a generic interval off the internet.
3You tick what you wantNothing turns on by itself. A plan you did not agree to is just a nag.
4It runs in the backgroundBooked, done and filed against the address, and it tells you after.

A plan is only worth having if it knows what you actually own.

Built from the equipment you actually own.

Not a generic checklist. Monthly because your furnace says monthly, and every task carries the reason it repeats.

Overdue is the first thing it shows you.

Not the last. A plan that buries what is late behind what is upcoming is a plan that lets things rot politely.

Why this often.

Every task says why it repeats, quoted from the manufacturer rather than a generic rule.

Ten minutes, or one for a trade.

It tells you which before you start, so nothing sits on the list because you were not sure whether it was yours to do.

What the season is about to bring.

Gutters before the leaves, the furnace before the cold, the air conditioner before the heat. The plan runs ahead of the weather rather than behind it.

Before something breaks.

The nudge lands before the date, built off the equipment on file. The first you hear of it is not the failure.

One tap and it lines the visit up.

For the ones that are not yours to do, Handyman opens the job, WeReno finds the trade, and the prices come back on one scope. Inside your line it books the visit itself.

the AC one, not doing that myselfAgreed, that is a trade. Opening it against Fernhill and asking three firms who cover it.

The season, before it arrives.

Gutters before the leaves, the furnace before the cold, the air conditioner before the heat. The plan runs ahead of the weather rather than behind it.

Get the nudge, not the bill.

The plan builds itself off what is already on file for the address. You never have to remember any of it.
