Benefits of Your Home Maintenance Plan
Indiana's Trusted Subscription-Based Handyman Service
At Your Home Maintenance Plan, we make it simple for Indiana homeowners to take care of their homes year-round with scheduled, preventative maintenance. For just $79.99/month, you’ll receive seasonal (quarterly) visits from an experienced handyman who handles the essential upkeep tasks that keep your home safe, efficient, and in peak condition.
Why Regular Home
Maintenance Matters
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), homeowners should budget 1% to 4% of their home’s value annually for maintenance. For a $300,000 home, that means up to $12,000/year in potential repairs and upkeep. Preventative maintenance significantly reduces these costs. In fact, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports that routine maintenance can extend the life of major systems by up to 50% and reduce the likelihood of costly emergency repairs.
Your Home Maintenance Plan helps you avoid expensive surprises with proactive care.
