Home Maintenance Plans
The list that does not show up on the calendar — moss creeping back across the north slope, the gutter that overflowed in November and is still draining onto the foundation bed, the hose bib that never got insulated, the caulk seam in the bath that has not been touched since the house was built, the deck stain that should have gone on two summers ago. Home maintenance plans roll that list into a schedule that actually runs. Handis offers four families — seasonal packages, exterior plans, handyman memberships, and property-watch programs — billed per visit or per year, sized to the Pacific Northwest climate, from $350 for a single annual checkup to $2,400 for a full season of quarterly visits.

What Handis Home Maintenance Plans Cover
A home in the Pacific Northwest does not fail on a single bad day. It fails one undone task at a time — a winter of overflowing gutters rots a piece of fascia, a hose bib left uncapped splits a pipe at the first hard freeze, a deck board never re-screwed pulls loose under a planter, moss left on a roof slope shortens a thirty-year shingle to fifteen. Home maintenance plans turn the open-ended list into a schedule the house actually gets. Four plan families, all built on the same vetted handyman crew, all sized to Seattle's weather year. We do the work that fits the handyman trade — gas, hardwired electrical, in-wall plumbing supply or drain, structural framing, and roof replacement live outside this trade and route to a licensed Washington L&I contractor when a job crosses that line.
Seasonal Plans
Spring reset, fall winterization, and annual home checkup packages — three visits in the year that catch what the season is about to bring. Spring is the post-winter walk: gutter clean, moss check, screen install, hose-bib uncap, deck inspection. Fall/winterization is the September-to-November prep run: gutter clean again, hose-bib insulation, weatherstripping refresh, dryer-vent screen, sump pump test. Annual checkup is the fifty-point visual once a year. From $350 for the checkup, $450 for the seasonal packages.
Seasonal Plans — spring reset, fall/winterization, annual checkup
Exterior Plans
The outside of the house takes the worst of the PNW year. Three recurring exterior programs that keep ahead of it: annual roof and gutter visit (gutter clean, downspout flow, flashing visual, moss treatment, debris removal), quarterly pressure-wash plan (four visits a year scheduled to the seasons — driveway, walks, patio, deck, fence, lower siding on soft wash), and deck care plan (spring inspection, board screwdown, hardware, end-of-season stain when conditions allow). From $500.
Exterior Plans — annual roof + gutter, quarterly pressure-wash, deck care
Handyman Memberships
Recurring handyman labor on a banked-hour basis — the alternative to calling four different one-off pros each season. Three memberships: monthly handyman (two to three hours each month, same tech, hours roll forward), honey-do (quarterly four-hour punch-list sweep against the written list on the fridge), and priority-response (24-hour front-of-line scheduling for urgent stuff). Member labor rates discount the per-hour, no trip charge on plan visits. From $600 a year.
Handyman Memberships — monthly, honey-do, priority-response
Property Watch
Walkthrough programs for homes nobody is sleeping in. Vacation home checks (weekly or biweekly walkthrough — exterior, interior, plumbing visual, mail, package retrieval, storm response), snowbird property care (October-to-April extended absence — full winterization, weekly while-away, deferred maintenance scheduled for the spring return), and vacant listing checks (weekly drive-by plus interior walk for vacant listings under property managers, real-estate agents, or investors). Photo report with each visit. From $600 per program.

Why Seattle Homeowners Book Handis Maintenance Plans
A maintenance plan only pays back when the visits actually happen and the right things actually get done. Most subscription pitches load up the brochure with line items nobody ever requests and skip the boring work that prevents the real failures. Our plans do the opposite — we keep the visit list short, weather-specific, and focused on the failures we see in Pacific Northwest homes year after year. Moss on the north slope. Hose bibs left uncapped before the first freeze. Foundation drainage backing up after an atmospheric river. Deck boards that loosen one rainy season at a time. The crew that shows up is the same crew that did the year before, with notes from the last visit and a real opinion about what to do next.
Plans built for the Pacific Northwest year, not a generic checklist
Spring visits are scheduled after the heavy rains settle. Fall visits run September to November before the first sustained cold. Pressure-wash visits get planned around the seasons that actually deposit the algae and pollen. Roof and gutter work goes on the books for the dry windows. The plan calendar follows the weather, not a national template.
Same tech, same notes, same opinion about what to do next
Each plan visit logs what the tech saw — the gutter screw that backed out, the hose bib that needs replacing next spring, the deck board that will lift this year. The next visit starts with that note, not from zero. Members usually get the same handyman year over year; if the schedule forces a swap, the notes carry across so the new tech is not relearning the house.
Member labor rate on add-on work, no trip charge on plan visits
Every plan member pays member labor rate (lower than the public per-hour) on any add-on work the tech does during a plan visit — a sticky bedroom door planed in the same hour, an anti-tip anchor added to the dresser, three drywall patches behind doors. No per-visit trip charge while the membership is active.
Honest scope — handyman work only, contractor handoff when needed
Plan visits cover handyman scope only. Anything inside a wall on a supply or drain line, gas appliances, hardwired electrical, new 240V circuits, roof replacement, structural framing, or work requiring a permit routes to a licensed Washington L&I contractor — we name the issue in the photo report and recommend who to call, then come back for the finish work after their rough-in if you want us in the loop.
Insured, background-checked, 30-day workmanship guarantee
Every Handis handyman carries liability insurance and has cleared a background screening before the first job. The 30-day workmanship guarantee on any add-on work done during a plan visit applies the same as any other Handis call — if a mount shifts, a caulk seam pulls, a patch cracks, or a hose-bib insulator slides off because of our workmanship, we come back and fix it at no extra charge.

Tell us the home size, the rough age, which plan family you are thinking about (seasonal, exterior, membership, property watch), and any specific PNW problems you already know about — moss, leaky gutter, hose bib, deck. We send a clear annual estimate.
What Our Customers Say
Recent home maintenance plan reviews from verified Seattle-area customers.
We did spring and fall packages plus the monthly membership last year. Same tech both seasons. He remembered the cracked downspout from the fall, brought a replacement section in the spring without me asking. Whole year of small stuff handled without three different specialty pros.
Snowbird program. We are in Arizona October to April. Handis winterized in October, sent weekly photo reports through the winter, caught a slow toilet leak in January from the camera in the basement, scheduled a plumber, and did the spring restart visit when we landed. House was exactly how we left it.
Quarterly pressure wash on the driveway and back patio. The technician timed the visits around the seasons — late spring after the last of the pollen drop, late summer for the deck, fall for the walkways before the leaves piled up, end of winter for the moss. Driveway has not had a green tint in a year.
Vacation home up at Crystal. We are there maybe six weekends a year. The biweekly walkthrough caught a roof leak after the December storm before it ever made it through the ceiling. Photo report had a picture of the wet attic insulation with the date stamp. Saved us a remodel.
Honey-do membership for my parents' house. They are in their seventies and the list never gets shorter. Four hours a quarter, the same tech each time, the list goes into a shared note. Picture hung, anti-tip on the bookshelf in the guest room, sticky kitchen drawer, three light bulbs in the vaulted ceiling. Mom calls him by his first name.
