Handyman plan in Omaha

Your honey-do list, one visit a month

Tigist and Kyler keep a running list for your house: the sticking door, the loose rail, the shelf you bought in March. Text a photo whenever something goes on it. We come once a month and work down it.

The plan

One plan, with the exclusions written on it

Everything the plan covers is on this card, and so is everything it doesn't. If a job isn't on it, you hear that before you pay anything.

  • The Honey-Do Plan

    Every month

    One visit a month, up to two hours on site, working down your list. April and November start from a seasonal checklist.

    • One visit a month, up to two hours on site
    • A running list: text a photo any time and it goes on
    • April spring checklist and November winter checklist, inside the visit
    • A set day each month, booked ahead of one-off calls
    • Screws, anchors and caulk are in the visit; other materials at the receipt price
    • Permit work, roofing and anything above a 10-foot ladder
    • Electrical past swapping a fixture, switch or outlet cover
    • Plumbing past faucets, supply lines and toilet parts
    • Sanding or scraping paint in a home built before 1978
    • Unused time: it doesn't roll into next month
    Start the plan

    Billed monthly. Cancel by text or email any time; the plan ends after the visit already on the calendar.

It's a time plan, billed monthly, with no contract and no credit check. It isn't insurance and doesn't pay for things that break.

Seasonal lists

Two checklists that come with the plan

The April and November visits start from these, then move on to yours. Omaha winters are hard on doors, hoses and weatherstripping, so the lists are written for here.

  1. April

    Spring wake-up

    The first visit of April starts here, then moves on to your list.

    • Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and swap the batteries

    • Re-caulk tubs, sinks and window frames where winter opened a gap

    • Tighten hinges, strike plates and gate latches that shifted with the frost

    • Reattach loose handrails and screw down popped deck boards

    • Replace the furnace filter and check the dryer vent hose

    • Hang window screens and store the storm panels

    • Patch nail pops and hairline cracks from the heating season

  2. November

    Before the freeze

    The first visit of November starts here, then moves on to your list.

    • Shut off, drain and cover outdoor spigots

    • Weatherstrip and re-sweep exterior doors that let in daylight

    • Seal gaps at windows and the attic hatch

    • Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms again

    • Reverse ceiling fans and replace the furnace filter

    • Clear gutters you can reach from a 10-foot ladder

    • Test the garage door's auto-reverse and oil the rollers

On the list

What usually ends up on a list

Most lists are six or seven small jobs that never get a weekend. These are the kinds we do.

  1. Doors and windows

    Sticking doors, loose hinges, new locksets, window locks and sashes that won't stay up.

  2. Hanging and mounting

    Shelves, mirrors, curtain rods and TV brackets, into studs or the right anchors.

  3. Wall patches and touch-ups

    Nail pops, dents, hairline cracks and small paint touch-ups.

  4. Assembly and fixtures

    Furniture out of the box, plus swapping a light fixture or a faucet.

  5. Small repairs

    Loose railings, squeaky stairs, torn screens, cabinet doors that hang crooked.

  6. Seasonal upkeep

    Weatherstripping, filters, spigots and alarm batteries, twice a year.

How a visit goes

A visit is two hours and a clipboard

The day before, we text you the order we plan to work in, so you can move the car and put the dog in the yard. Tigist walks the house with you first and agrees the list. Kyler loads the van from it.

When the two hours are up we write down what's done and what's next. Anything unfinished goes to the top of next month's list.

  • A text the day before with the order of the day

  • A short walk-through before any tool comes out

  • A written note when we leave: done, next, and anything we'd send to a specialist

Sample reviews

What plan members might say

“The bathroom door finally closes without a shove. Tigist also spotted the cracked caulk around the tub before I did.”

Macy W.Plan member, Dundee

“I keep the list on the fridge now. There are usually six things on it, and most are crossed off by the time Kyler leaves.”

Savita P.Plan member, Millard

“I asked for one shelf and found out my back door sweep was worn through. That went on the November list.”

Where we work

Omaha, one neighborhood at a time

One van runs the plan, so we stay close to Omaha and keep the same day each month.

Omaha neighborhoods

  • Omaha
  • Blackstone
  • Aksarben
  • Elmwood Park
  • Bemis Park

We don't work in Lincoln, Blair or farther out. The drive would eat into your two hours.

Questions

Before you sign up

What does the plan cover?

One visit a month of up to two hours, working down your list, with the April and November checklists inside those visits. The card above names what it leaves out.

What if my list is longer than two hours?

What doesn't fit moves to the top of next month's list, in the order you choose. You can also book an extra visit; it's quoted by text after you send photos.

Can I try one visit before joining?

Yes. A single visit doesn't need a plan. Text photos of the jobs and we quote the time before anyone comes.

Is the plan insurance?

No. It buys time on your list. It doesn't pay for things that break, and it doesn't pay for things that break.

How do I cancel?

Text or email us. The plan ends after the visit already on the calendar, and nothing else is owed.

My house was built before 1978. Does that change anything?

Paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 falls under the EPA's lead rule. We stay under its minor-repair limits, 6 square feet inside a room and 20 outside, and we don't replace windows or remove walls or trim in those houses. A bigger job is referred to a firm certified for it.
